Everyone already has a copy of the blockchain. All we need is a GUI or CGI to read it.

bitcoin has lots of commands that can be issued to a running bitcoin instance:

Code:

backupwallet
getaccount
getaccountaddress
getaddressesbyaccount
getbalance [account] [minconf=1]
getblockcount
getconnectioncount
getdifficulty
getgenerate
gethashespersec
getinfo
getmemorypool [data]
getnewaddress [account]
getreceivedbyaccount [minconf=1]
getreceivedbyaddress [minconf=1]
gettransaction
getwork [data]
help [command]
keypoolrefill
listaccounts [minconf=1]
listreceivedbyaccount [minconf=1] [includeempty=false]
listreceivedbyaddress [minconf=1] [includeempty=false]
listsinceblock [blockid] [target-confirmations]
listtransactions [account] [count=10] [from=0]
move [minconf=1] [comment]
sendfrom [minconf=1] [comment] [comment-to]
sendmany {address:amount,...} [minconf=1] [comment]
sendtoaddress [comment] [comment-to]
setaccount
setgenerate [genproclimit]
settxfee
signmessage
stop
validateaddress
verifymessage
walletlock
walletpassphrase
walletpassphrasechange

What other info do pools need access to?

Advertisers are also very generous, they donate millions of dollars to the cable companies. Oh, I forgot to mention they got an ad in exchange. Still "free", right?

I doubt the ad even comes close to allowing them to recoup the cost of running the server.

Time to come up some ideas for a decentralized block data tool?

The server won't start up now, due either to a bad disk or to my tweaks meant to make the system faster. Rasengan (who, on behalf of Private Internet Access, generously provides this BBE server for free) is working on fixing it and maybe upgrading it so that it can handle more traffic. Hopefully at least /q/getblockcount will be working tomorrow.

Just to be clear, you guys are complaining that theymo's block explorer service is down, not the block chain itself. Everything looks ok on Bitcoin Monitor.

Of course we're talking about blockexplorer.com. How can be block chain down?

you'd be surprised at how many noobs will think blockexplorer IS the blockchain.

It's really fast whenever I restart the database and web servers, but then I guess it gets overwhelmed with traffic. I'll look into it later today.

(Usually I have two "master" servers constantly available and capable of either handling the full load or sharing the load, but the one that I have at home was unfortunately damaged when I moved recently, so I have to rely entirely on the Private Internet Access server.)

You should consider a captcha. Or you risk blocking proxies.

Well, some services (like my pool) is using blockexplorer.com's API for confirming that local blockchain copy is OK. So captcha won't work for API calls, obviously.

IPs will now automatically be banned (temporarily) if they connect much faster than once per second.

how long is temporarily?

It looks that BE is still down.

I think everything is fixed now. Sorry about that.

Looks like it's caused by a lot of traffic. Maybe a DoS attack. I'm fixing it now.

Was fixed for a short while but it seems like there is still an issue with Blockexplorer.

PM'd you theymos.

Blockchain.info is indeed nice eye-candy, and while I tend to use it more, sometimes Blockexplorer displays information differently than blockchain.info so it's good it's around.
