Hash ribbons (hashrate moving averages), miner reserves and difficulty history need a historical hashrate / on-chain miner source we haven't wired yet. We show the live hashrate snapshot and the Puell Multiple now, and will switch the rest on once a source is connected — no estimated figures in the meantime.
