Tangle visualisations

Tangle visualisations by iota.dance created at the end of 2017 as merch to support the site.

Each visualisation contains some exported part of the Tangle history to graphically visualise how beautiful and mind-blowing the Tangle actually is. 

To issue a transaction (dots in the visualisations), users must approve (lines in the visualisations) two other transactions. As a transaction receives additional approvals, it is accepted by the system with a higher level of confidence.

All visualisations are created by exporting recent history transaction data from an IRI node, converting them to DOT language and generating the undirected graph with Graphviz.
