Hash Rate Monitor Screensaver
The Hash Rate Monitor screensaver charts Bitcoin's real network hash rate — the total computing power currently securing the chain — drawn key-less and live from mempool.space. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Hash Rate Monitor screensaver works
The saver fetches Bitcoin's real recent hash rate history from mempool.space, with no key required.
A line chart plots the network's real computing power over recent months.
The current estimated hash rate is shown as a large readout, in exahashes per second.
The chart refreshes on a schedule so the trend tracks real network growth.
A worked example
You'll see a real, climbing line — Bitcoin's hash rate has grown for most of its history as more real mining hardware comes online worldwide.
Settings & tips
- Accent recolours the chart line.
- Hash rate is estimated from real block-discovery timing, the same method miners themselves use.
- A dip doesn't always mean trouble — regional power costs and weather shift it too.
Frequently asked questions
- What is hash rate?
- The total computational power miners worldwide are pointing at Bitcoin, measured in hashes per second — a real security metric, not a price.
- Is a key needed?
- No. mempool.space's public API is free and key-less.
- Is this exact or estimated?
- Hash rate can't be measured directly — it's estimated from real block-discovery times, the standard industry approach.
- Is it free?
- Yes — free, no download, in your browser.
