I wanted to explore the idea described in the tweet by Paul Sztorc that Bitcoin transactions can be art, so I created https://transactionbitmap.com which operates on the principle that art can be found in unexpected places, including the mathematical patterns and data inherent in blockchain transactions.
Fun! How is it that such a long hash can be shown in a 5x6 grid with some 256^3 options per slot? I get 503,316,480 possibilities. But aren't those hashes supposed to be so numerous that there's basically no chance of collisions?
