I tried Bitpay (it uses something like Microsoft Access to store data), i'ts VERY slow, like 20 seconds to show one address (even on bitpay official website).

I think any database-free will be very slow. I'll give BlockCypher a try.


Edit: Just installed BlockCypher and discovered it is a front-end only source, it doesn't store anything, just make the api calls to blockypher database...

Not sure what you mean by saying its very slow. I just tested out Insight on Bitpay's official website and its working really fine, not slow at all... Maybe its something on your end.

There are multiple blockexplorer that are open source, you could check them out. A database-free one, but I doubt it has as many features as the others. Or also BlockCypher's and Bitpay's (Insight).

Anyone here developed an Bitcoin (no altcoins) explorer?

I'm trying to store all the data (360million transactions) on MongoDB using https://github.com/norestlabs/mousexplore-vcoins/ but it will need around 3 terabytes of space and I'm not sure if it is reasonable.
