比特币区块艺术在区块链可视化中使数字马拉松永垂不朽

比特币核心贡献者通过使用挖矿公司的模板构建工具，将 Marathon Digital 的徽标永久保存到比特币区块的数据可视化中。 Portland.HODL 声称这幅错综复杂的“区块艺术”是一种通过对区块中的交易进行排序而创建的自定义图形，可以在比特币索引器网站上看到。

Bitcoin Block Art: Marathon Digital's Logo Immortalized in Blockchain Visualization

比特币区块艺术：Marathon Digital 的标志在区块链可视化中永垂不朽

In a testament to the creative potential of Bitcoin technology, a Bitcoin Core contributor has immortalized the logo of mining giant Marathon Digital within the data visualization of a Bitcoin block. This remarkable feat, achieved using the mining firm's template building tools, has opened up a new avenue for artistic expression on the blockchain.

为了证明比特币技术的创造潜力，比特币核心贡献者在比特币区块的数据可视化中将矿业巨头 Marathon Digital 的徽标永垂不朽。这一非凡的壮举是使用矿业公司的模板构建工具实现的，为区块链上的艺术表达开辟了一条新途径。

Anatomy of "Block Art": Crafting Visuals with Transactions

“区块艺术”剖析：通过交易打造视觉效果

Blockchain indexers visualize Bitcoin transactions as square blocks, with color gradients representing transaction sizes and fee rates. By carefully ordering transactions within a block, artists can create intricate graphics that emerge when visualized on indexing websites.

区块链索引器将比特币交易可视化为方块，颜色渐变代表交易规模和费率。通过仔细排序区块内的交易，艺术家可以创建复杂的图形，这些图形在索引网站上可视化时会出现。

Marathon's "M Block": A Showcase of Innovation

马拉松“M Block”：创新展示

Marathon Digital's "M block," mined on March 26, stands as a testament to the company's technological prowess. The block's visualization prominently features the Marathon logo, demonstrating the capabilities of the firm's template building tools and technology stack.

Marathon Digital 于 3 月 26 日开采的“M 区块”证明了该公司的技术实力。该块的可视化突出显示了马拉松徽标，展示了该公司模板构建工具和技术堆栈的功能。

The Potential of Creative Mining

创意挖掘的潜力

By leveraging its control over its mining pool, Marathon has opened up the possibility of using the order of transactions to create a novel form of block art. While the company does not currently offer this capability as a service, it envisions a future where this technique unlocks unprecedented creative potential within the Bitcoin ecosystem.

通过利用其对矿池的控制，马拉松开启了利用交易顺序创建一种新颖的区块艺术形式的可能性。虽然该公司目前尚未提供这种功能作为服务，但它设想未来该技术将在比特币生态系统中释放前所未有的创造潜力。

Enhancing Miner Fee Accuracy

提高矿工费用准确性

To ensure the accuracy of miner fee estimates, Marathon advocates for excluding blocks from full pay-per-share (FPPS) calculations. This measure safeguards against the potential impact of Marathon's artistic experiments on network fees.

为了确保矿工费用估算的准确性，Marathon 主张将区块从全额每股付费 (FPPS) 计算中排除。这一措施可以防范马拉松艺术实验对网络费用的潜在影响。

A Labor of Trial and Error: Portland.HODL's Creative Journey

反复试验的劳动：Portland.HODL 的创意之旅

Portland.HODL, the artist responsible for crafting the "M block" visualization, underwent a meticulous process of trial and error to achieve the desired outcome. The technique employed involved OP_RETURN transactions, a protocol feature allowing for small amounts of arbitrary data to be embedded in transactions.

Portland.HODL 是负责制作“M 块”可视化的艺术家，经历了细致的反复试验过程才达到了预期的结果。所采用的技术涉及 OP_RETURN 事务，这是一种允许在事务中嵌入少量任意数据的协议功能。

By carefully crafting and ordering these OP_RETURN transactions, Portland.HODL transformed block data into a captivating visual representation. Prior to block mining, transactions reside in the mempool, where miners can select specific transactions to form desired patterns, prioritizing visual aesthetics over profit maximization.

通过精心设计和排序这些 OP_RETURN 交易，Portland.HODL 将区块数据转换为迷人的视觉表示。在区块挖掘之前，交易驻留在内存池中，矿工可以在内存池中选择特定的交易来形成所需的模式，优先考虑视觉美观而不是利润最大化。

The Role of Hashing Power and Network Consensus

算力和网络共识的作用

Creating block art requires significant hashing power, such as that wielded by Marathon. Miners seeking to implement this technique must modify their software to select transactions that contribute to the intended pattern, rather than prioritizing transactions based on fee density or satoshis per byte.

创建区块艺术需要强大的哈希能力，例如 Marathon 所拥有的能力。寻求实施此技术的矿工必须修改其软件以选择有助于预期模式的交易，而不是根据费用密度或每字节聪来确定交易的优先级。

Future Implications and Wider Impact

未来的影响和更广泛的影响

The "M block" serves as a harbinger of the transformative potential of block composability. This concept opens up new dimensions for creativity and innovation within the Bitcoin ecosystem. As mining hardware continues to evolve and network consensus matures, the possibilities for block art and other novel blockchain applications will only expand.

“M 块”预示着块可组合性的变革潜力。这一概念为比特币生态系统内的创造力和创新开辟了新的维度。随着挖矿硬件的不断发展和网络共识的成熟，区块艺术和其他新颖的区块链应用的可能性只会扩大。
