Something seems to be wrong here
From this page: https://support.biteasy.com/kb/v2-0/rest-api/getting-started

Cryptocoins and networks

Description    Cryptocoin    Network
Bitcoin Testnet3    btc    testnet
Litecoin Testnet3    ltc    mainnet
Litecoin Mainnet    ltc    testnet

So Litecoin mainnet's network is "testnet"? It does not seem to work though.

My apologies, never saw your post Smiley You are right, it was wrong and has already been fixed. Are you using the litecoin API?

Few weeks ago we submitted a Git pull request to the DuckDuckGo anonymous search engine, which enables you to instantly get basic information about Bitcoin addresses, blocks and transactions.

We are now happy to announce that our pull request has been merged to master, which means you can enjoy this nice feature, powered by the Biteasy Blockchain API on the live DuckDuckGo site!

Check out a few screenshots:

Keep up the good work guys.. really appreciate this.

We need as many 'blockchain.info's as possible to avoid dependency on any single one. Grin

There seems to be a bug.  Sometimes Firefox is very stubborn with wanting to use a cached transaction list of my address.  Just now I had to clear my cache just to get it to work properly and view updated data.  I believe there is a way to ensure that the browser loads a fresh version every time without digging through the visitors cache... you may want to ask your dev team about that.

edit: this could be cloudflare doing this, but I didn't take the time to check if you're using them..

Forgot to mention that stubborn cache has been fixed some time now. Let me know if you see anything weird with it again.

Just a couple of new things we added in the UI; Inputs "Group By Address" and inputs/outputs scripts in Mainnet. You can try it out here.

Indeed there is an issue going on with our caching (not Cloudflares fault) which makes it too aggressive. It will be fixed very soon Smiley

Yes, they use Cloudflare. However, even with Cloudflare, you can send custom cache headers.

Another great Block explorer. I hope you get more attention now that people realise that there are more block explorer than blockchain.info.

Agreed, and Kudos for a great little toolbox!

Cheers Smiley

We will be introducing new features in the next couple of weeks.

You guys also seem to show the first confirmation of a transaction before blockchain.info catches it.  I'm not sure how you do this but there are definitely some skills behind this site as far as development.

To be honest there isn't some "special" handling for this. It's just the way it's coded.

Thank you for your nice words Smiley We really appreciate feedback; It's the only way to get better!

A big advantage (yet such a simple one) this interface has is the simplicity of the transaction list.  All those transaction amounts line up so nicely and they aren't cluttered with unnecessary details until you actually click them.  You guys also seem to show the first confirmation of a transaction before blockchain.info catches it.  I'm not sure how you do this but there are definitely some skills behind this site as far as development.

Bitcoin is decentralized currency but It feels like 99% of the user use blockchain.info.

Keep up the good work.

Does your service have any dependence on the Blockchain.info API?  I found someone claiming so, however you seem to offer reliable service when blockchain.info is not.  

Thank you for your nice words Smiley
No it does not have any dependence on blockchain.info API nor we have anything to do with blockchain.info. This is all us Smiley

Can you please provide me the link of that post so I can reply to it and clear up the situation?

Any feedback at all is welcome

UPDATE

First, let us start by letting you know that multisignature and pay to script hash transactions support has been added to mainnet as well quite some time now.

Secondly, we have moved all our documentation from PDF format to online format which you can find here. It includes both the documentation for the REST API and the Websockets API (will come to that in a second) and this is what you should be using as a reference from now on. In other words, get rid of the PDF!

Our important update however is that we have released our Websockets API which you can now freely use. As you have probably already noticed we have implemented it in a couple of areas of the website as well, like the home page, the blocks page and the addresses page.

We have already been working on our wallet and notifications system. More updates about them soon!

Thank you all for your support so far and as always, feedback is always welcome Smiley

We would like to welcome 2014 as well and wish you, and our beloved bitcoin, all the best!

January has already been very interesting for us with all that feedback you have been giving us and we would like to thank you for it. We hope that you like the site improvements we released yesterday as they made it much cleaner than it was. Also, we did a lot of work on the mobile version and we are pretty confident now that the site is viewable on most modern devices out there.

Except from the refreshed design we've also introduced proper Multi-Signature and Pay-2-Script-Hash support. Unfortunately we only added it to TestNet for now and MainNet will follow until the end of the month.

Finally, we are planning to release a Websockets API by the end of January and start working on our Wallet service. We will keep you updated about everything, just be a little bit patient!

UPDATE

Unified search for both mainnet and testnet

UPDATE

Added URL routes to match the ones blockexplorer.com is using in order to make your transition to Biteasy easier Smiley

/t/:hash
/tx/:hash
/b/:hash
/block/:hash
/a/:address
/address/:address

All the above will redirect to the main net version of the site.

If you want to to do the same for the testnet, you simply prepend the above path with testnet like:

/testnet/t/:hash
/testnet/tx/:hash
/testnet/b/:hash
/testnet/block/:hash
/testnet/a/:address
/testnet/address/:address

For the mainnet, they will also work like this:

/blockchain/t/:hash
/blockchain/tx/:hash
/blockchain/b/:hash
/blockchain/block/:hash
/blockchain/a/:address
/blockchain/address/:address

It'll be nice to have a testnet blockexplorer Smiley
Do you plan on implementing altcoins?

Well, one thing at the time Smiley We are still have a long list of bitcoin-related features to implement but we are thinking about supporting Litecoin in the future as well.

Nice design.Easy and fast. Cheesy

Thank you for your nice words Smiley That was our plan, to make it simple and fast. We are working on many more things to add, this was just the beginning.

In the next few days we will be adding testnet block explorer, a Websockets API and live update of blocks, transactions and address transactions on the website. Our long term plan is to implement Wallet and Merchant services which will be added in the next 2-3 months.

We are very pleased to announce the launch of our new website, Biteasy.com!

Our vision is to make bitcoin as easy and simple to use as possible through the services we will be providing.

We are planning to have a complete solution suite, suitable for everybody, whether you are a developer, merchant, or end-user, starting with our Blockexplorer and a REST API for it.

There will be a lot of activity the next few months in order to bring everything we promised to life as soon as possible, so make sure you stay up-2-date by checking our blog or our twitter!

Finally, special thanks goes to Mike Hearn and Matt Corallo (authors of bitcoinj) for their valuable feedback to our project.
