Maximillian Laumeister is a software engineer and open source software programmer. He wrote the open source visualization app BitListen, originally known as Listen To Bitcoin, [1] [2] [3] which Listen to Wikipedia is based off of. [4] He holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science: Game Design from University of California, Santa Cruz.
BitListen
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].
