I'm still working with Crysx as he is helping us get another open-source version of a blockexplorer so we can have (3) different ones for MTR.
Thanks community!
Cheers,
Rich
i have a question for crysx how is that block explorer coming along ? how long does it take ? are you and mastertrader really working on it or was it dropped ? also do you have any info on a exchange being embedded into MTR ?also I would like your opinion on cryptocloset .. what effect it has on MTR and crypto in general ? any info would be thankful
as per the previous post to drays ...
its not coming along - just yet ...
the complete infrastructure of cwi is being revamped ... and expanded ... there are 25 dedicated machines being setup worldwide across the globe for the seednodes alone ... this means rebuild of systems - os - builds of apps - builds of daemons - syncs - redirections of dns - and ultimately the recode of the core for the daemons of the coins and projects we support ... which means we need to work with EVERY dev whose coin we support - as most of the devs have our seeds hardcoded into the core code of the wallets ...
the block explorer is no exception - and the delay of not just this one - but all - is justified ...
the machines that will support the block explorers - are yet to be finalized ... part of this infrastructure revamp - is setting up an information system which carries the block explorers for the coins supported ... block explorers too - use daemons to gather their information - and dedicated coin daemons are used for the explorers as well - not api calls from the seednodes ...
this is not only a long winded and tedious rebuild - but a very coordinated ( with the isp - who is building the backend infrastructure for all this ) and expensive ordeal ... costing ME - with no financial help from anyone else - to undertake this project ...
so in essence - how is the block explorer coming along? ... its not for the time being ... in fact - none of them are ...
how long does it take? ... not long at at all to build the explorer itself - but a while to sync daemons within the servers ...
the question you neglected to ask is simply - what is it that is taking so long for the block explorer to arrive ... explanation above ...
i personally need not answer to anyone else - but the dev / person commissioning our services ... thats it ... BUT i am here and explaining to you - and the community WHY there is such a delay ...
if you demand a block explorer - then pay for one ... fairglu has one of the BEST explorer systems in crypto today ... he is a good man - a quick responder ( he has all the infrastructure ready ) and a competent dev who knows what he is talking about ... he provides the cryptoid block explorers to anyone who pays the fees ...
and that seems to be the issue with the community - fees ... demand so much - but pay nothing for them ... a community fund for such things? ... that would be great ...
the very few that have supported ANY services provided to ANY project ( i am NOT pinpointing mtr here ) are the ones that actually care enough to put the funds whether the demands are ...
want to pay the 70kaud that its costing to restructure the cwi infrastructure? ... no? ... then you have no right to demand anything from me or anyone else ... unless i WANT to provide this service for free to the community or devs ... and that is entirely MY decision ...
im all for opensource - and for helping ... but when it comes at a personal cost that is far beyond the 'tanx for the help' limit from the community - and the community is not willing to 'help' in the form of code work or funds either - then i have the right to withdraw any 'free' systems that cwi provides ...
ask microsoft for a free blockexplorer and see what happens
...
the blockexplorer is NOT free ... and as such - will be at the mercy of how long the infrastructure will take to rebuild ...
if you or anyone else is unhappy with that - then im sure rich will be happy to pay for another blockexplorer IF the community wants to pitch in ...
besides - our own inhouse projects ( granite (grn ) being the main one ) are our priority - and the project that the entire infrastructure is based on ...
anyway - a bit long winded explanation - but there you go mate ...
ill be changing the code shortly after all the systems are back online with the new seednodes ...
