Hello guys!

I always wanted to build something nice for NYM users but my lack of coding skills kept me back. A few attempts were made to approach people but lack of interest made me think that I should just do it. So, mixmap was born.

https://mixmap.xyz

This is super light mapping service which has fetches mixnet nodes from Nym’s API and puts this data on the map. I am serving it using caddy server and all the libraries are open source.

This is a super early release and there is plenty of work to do but I thought I would share it with you now. Any feedback is appreciated.

Yeah man!!! This is a useful tool for mapping nodes.

We can have a great overview of the decentralization of the Mixnet.

Thanks.

I have added markers clustering, so now it is much easier to find a node and also more visually appealing.

Changes made to Mixmap:

  • Optimized the code, so now it is much lighter and faster.
  • Data is now fetched from Nym’s API once every hour (for nodes’ status update only) and once every 24 h (for the rest of data) to reduce traffic load on Nym’s servers.
  • Added a button to hide an info panel, useful for mobile devices.
  • Added a code to update nodes’ status (active/inactive) once per epoch and the rest of the data once per 24h.
  • Proprietary components removed, FOSS rulez!

I have added the same map for gateways.

Both pages have got links on the left panel to each other.

I have added a search function:

  • For gateways, this is either identity key or IP address
  • For mixnodes, this is either node’s id or IP address
