Over the past few years, I’ve been working on monitoring tools for the Bitcoin network. One of these projects is peer-observer: A tool and infrastructure for monitoring the Bitcoin P2P network for attacks and anomalies. This post describes the motivation for starting yet another Bitcoin network observer. It details how the tool works, what my honeypot infrastructure looks like, and finishes with an idea for a decentralized Bitcoin Network Operations Collective and incident response team.| b10c's blog
In this post, I revisit my plans and projects for 2022, and give an outlook for 2023. I plan to continue my current Bitcoin network monitoring efforts in 2023. I briefly touch on potentially tight open-source developer funding in 2023.| b10c.me
