    This is really neat idea. The spinning globe is technically a Cool Thing, but I would really like to see a cylindrical projection as an option. I'm not really interested in to-scale landmasses.

    Does not work in Firefox 32.0.3 on OSX Yosimite.

    Otherwise its interesting to see (in Chrome) that by far most transactions are in the US, with just a few in Northern Europe. The rest of the world nothing much.

    > the address is based on the relay ip address. So it is not necessarily the real transaction address.

    Or does this explain the remarkable regional preference of the transactions ? Sorry to ask, I have no experience with bitcoins.

    Nice. The globe spinning control is being a little wonky at the moment for me - trying to zero in on one spot causes the globe to spin wildly.

    There are some strange display issues when you click "change projection" - some of the bigger circles have actually smaller amounts than the smaller circles. Looks like the circles are also using the projection, so smaller amounts at higher latitudes are actually shown as bigger.

    Really cool! Maybe we should try and get this embedded into bitcoin.org?

    It'd be neat if you could see dollar amounts too, so people who don't follow Bitcoin 24/7 can get a feel for how much money is whizzing around.

    Wow, a lot of bitcoins flying around the bay area right now... is that all from Coinbase?

    It's crazy to see so many large 5+ BTC transactions occurring...

    Well done! It's amazing to me that this is possible.

    Would you mind sharing how to obtain location?
