Great work on that tool!
I'm just confused while reading the block size chart where, for example, it says:

Charts / Transactions / Block Size
Monthly Stats from January 2009 to January 2016 - Lin. Scale

December 2015

Aggregate: 3157779464 bytes
Maximum: 122842930 bytes
Minimum: 78795102 bytes

Am I reading this wrong or does it say that the minimum block size in December 2015 was ~75MB?

These stats should be read like this:
- The cumulated size of blocks mined in December 2015 was ~3.15GB
- The max value for blocks mined during 1 day of this month was ~122MB (actually it was on 12/14/2015)
- The min value was ~78MB (on 12/31/2015)

You can check this by clicking on the chart with the mouse put on December. The chart will display the same metric for december 2015 only and you'll see the max and min values very easily.

Note that the same principle applies at this level (but this time it's related to blocks mined during a given day).

The FAQ page contains a short help about the interactive charts. But my english is crap and I fear some points may remain unclear (sorry about that). Feel free to asks more questions if needed.

Got it, clear answer. Thanks!
