blockchainrpc is an open source blockchain explorer written from scratch in python. It depends completely on your bitcoin client rpc responses, does not requires any additional databases. It is still in alpha stage so it may eat your node and your equipment. For unknown reason it drives python GUI console mad, use your OS internal console or terminal instead. Designed for node debugging. Watch for exceptions, strange responses, errors or endless CPU burning and report them in https://github.com/johnjacksonbtc/blockchainrpc/issues .

REQUIREMENTS:
Python 3.5.x and above
Any bitcoin-qt 0.12.1 compatible node with basic plaintext authorization support.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
64 bit based OS to avoid memory shortage
Windows OS (other OSes are not tested)
Bitcoin full node with -txindex and -addrindex for full functionality
Incoming connection blocking firewall (public network option should be enough for Windows)

HOW TO OBTAIN AND USE:
  • Download zip package from https://github.com/johnjacksonbtc/blockchainrpc/ and verify SHA256 hash included in transaction 27602328aac26c9068a02c34dfc56d2c2fff094b4e26eeb549ae6a8d7f54d458 (or first transaction that includes this github link)
  • Unpack it somewhere
  • Review and edit python scripts to use your not so easy to guess passwords
  • Run blockchainrpc.py from console

WHEN YOU ARE DONE:
If you want to stop script running simply kill process that runs it.
Watch where bitcoins from transaction outputs are going and look for secret message in blockchain (hash and maybe something else).

PS. Yea, I sent all my bitcoins to self and paid almost half in fee. Use newest bitcoin address for donations that comes with secret message.
