BitListen[edit]

BitListen is a web application that visualizes and sonifies Bitcoin transactions.[2][5] Laumeister wrote the initial version of BitListen over the course of a week.[6]

Wikimedia Foundation legal counsel Stephen LaPorte and developer Mahmoud Hashemi created the application Listen to Wikipedia, inspired by and based on BitListen[4][7], which has been used for trend spotting and prediction of Wikipedia edits[8]. Listen to Wikipedia reuses the same instruments and chords from BitListen, with the addition of a clavichord[9].
