I made a neat Hantavirus tracker:
https://x.com/oscpmentor/status/2053118155162259517

I am about to add an update where the visitor counter will only count +1 from a new unique IP.
I consider my website having "Gone Viral" if more than 10,000 unique visitors arrive within 30 days.

  • Update 2026-05-22 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): This market is specifically for hanta.bandors.org — visitor counts from any other subdomain or site will not count toward the 10,000 unique visitor threshold.

@Bandors mana for the draw 😂

Anyone know who this M Seaman guy is and why he has 2 million mana lmao? I'm praying for him to save me

@PhilipDowdell Lol yeah this guy is interesting, looks like a random user just up and bought 2 million in mana?

@Bandors no, he had a lot of sweepcash which he converted to mana.

I'm not seeing any info tab, nor is there any other major update I can see. Can you please do something to increase the visitor numbers? as I told you, I'll pay you M500

@100Anonymous check on desktop. I dunno what else to add, news seems to have died down.

@Bandors I am on desktop.

@Bandors never mind, I seem to be blind.

@100Anonymous ~5200 ain't bad, I feel like I provided something small, yet useful, to a meaningful amount of humans. It feels different if you imagine them all in a room. 10k would be cool, but there would probably have to be a new infection or something to shake new interest.

@Bandors Maybe I'll pivot to Ebola

@Bandors You know, you could make this a general virus tracker and add a tab for Ebola as well. Although I am not sure whether that would be in the spirit of the market

@100Anonymous not a bad idea, but that idea would have to live on a different subdomain. This market is specifically for hanta.bandors.org

added a 'Hantavirus info' tab, minor changes to page speed loading, and renamed the cat

@Bandors It doesn't seem to have updated with the new case in Canada yet, also I don't think it's good that it redirects to your personal site after some amount of time, if I were a random user that would really put me off.

@PhilipDowdell just woke up. Updated with new canada info. I'm testing around with some tech, practicing my funneling, should only redirect pc people after they tab out and forget about the site, and only if other magic requirements are met. Its not selling out if its your own brand lol.

I'm in Berlin for a couple days, but I'll try to find time tomorrow to finish The Big Update and try to shill the site more on Twitter

@Bandors sidenote: come drink a beer with me if you're in berlin lol

Do you have public analytics we can see? that would make it very, very fun

@Qubits My bad, its on the site.

@Qubits I might show the raw Google analytics numbers too

@Bandors that's different from the resolution criteria

@prismatic yeah I would just share Google stats for fun

@Bandors Cool, thanks.

What are your thoughts on bot magic...
Bot magic = magic number go up

@Qubits it would be lame if someone botted traffic to resolve the market.

@Bandors Fair!

So you are expressly forbidding/discouraging it? Do you have anti-bot protection?

@Qubits I think it's technically criminal to pay for bot traffic, so I shouldn't have to expressly ban criminal acts.

@Bandors Fascinating.

Yeah, makes sense!
