Nonce temperature also appears to be wrong. At Genesis pBlock =1, ln(1)=0, so UBlock=0 despite Tblock=1. When we plug in 0 for Unonce, the only valid temperature to produce 0 is 0 since difficulty i...

Thanks! I've added Genesis block, it's helped with Nonce Temperature calculation.

I've added more granular datasets:
* Mempool sampled at 100 rate - good overall picture but doesn't work for cummulative
* Raw blockchain capped at 100k block - per-block granularity but not yet whole chain
Will look into expanding this.

Couple of insights for me looking at 100k dataset:
* Block energy is correlated to difficulty adjustment
* Nonce temperature decreases over blocktime
* Cummulative nonce looks like power law

@Jack K I'm not used to reading physics charts and roughly understand what kinds. Curios to hear your read on this and if you have any other insights or suggestions.

So with regards to cumulative nonce temperature, my postulate is that like Bitcoin’s 21M, Kelvin is bounded by Planck Temp, think of it as the Planck “supply”. So we can measure time a few different ways with Bitcoin, the accumulation of energy, the accumulation of information and the accumul...

It’s my anniversary with my wife this weekend; and I’ll be tied up all next weekend too. I’m thinking I might find some time tomorrow to review the code base. Maybe mid-week next week if not. Have to balance the fiat job too 😵‍💫 Once I can see how the equations are being used then I ...
