5 of 26 Bitcoin places showed dated activity in the past year.

The pulse: one frozen snapshot of every place, every month. The record starts on 1 October 2026 and is never recomputed — a row written today reads the same in five years.

5
Active

Dated activity within 12 months of our last check.

17
Quiet

The operator’s site is up, but we found no dated activity in the last 12 months. Quiet is not closed.

1
Ceased

The operator or its federation says it has ended.

3
Unverified

We could not open the operator’s own site at the last check, or only a directory lists it. Not a closure.

The monthly record

SnapshotActiveQuietCeasedUnverifiedPlacesFile
1 October 202651713262026-10.csv

A snapshot freezes each place’s grade as it stands on the 1st; sources are re-checked on a rolling basis, at least every 120 days. Each row of status-history.csv carries the hash of the row before it — change one value and every later hash breaks, which is how anyone can tell the record was not rewritten. From November 2026 each snapshot also records whether every source page answered that day.

Status changes

None yet. The first comparison is the 1 November 2026 snapshot.
