No problem man. Here to help.


To everyone else, I've checked the source code and it's clean. However, you can always check their GitHub repository, if you don't trust me. Wink

I am now in contact with another user with regards to uploading it to the Chrome App store.  I will update with more details, but hopefully we can get this project out there in the open!

Why aren't you guys in the Chrome Web Store?

It costs $5 to get the app up, and we need a logo first.  We have found a logo designer, now we just need someone to go buy a $10 prepaid Visa gift card...we'll only need ~$6, you can have the other $4.
I could upload it on my account, temporarily, if you wanted me to.

This is useful extension for me who too lazy to check my addy, transactions. Are you have plan for use it on Mozilla? Actually i often to use mozilla than chrome.

BTW you need designer? Fix the logo? I can do, feel free to PM to me if you still needed Smiley

Thanks!  In the mean time, we don't really have any intentions to add Mozilla support.  Over 40% of the web uses Chrome, so it's where we'd like to focus our development efforts.  However, in the very distant future, with enough donations, we might consider the idea.  I'll PM you about the logo, thanks!

We really like the altcoin idea.  We're going to reach out to them later this week probably.  Hopefully we could get some initial funding from them to get the project rolling again.

Actually a partnership with an altcoin for this would be great, have you though of the blackcoin community or the dash community both are well based and have active developers looking to make new things for them.

Pretty useful, maybe you could introduce it to the altcoin community, i'm sure it would gain a lot more support if you want a few other popular altcoins to it.

A useful tool indeed. Unfortunately i am not a javascript developer. But i would like to offer help for testing once it is officially released.

Definitely, thanks for the offer!  If you want to give a small monetary donation, buying a $10 prepaid Visa would cover the cost of the app store release fee thing.  If there's anyone out there feeling helpful, let us know!  You can keep the remainder of the $10 (should be about $4.50 left over).

We are still looking for people to help with this! Hopefully someone comes by soon (tell your programmer friends while you're at it).

This looks very useful, it sometimes is a bit irritating to copy paste several Tx-IDs and/or addresses into a block explorer and this extension will really come in handy but I would have been more interested in this if it was a Firefox addon, I don't use chrome that much and I hope you can develop something similar for FF as well.

Chrome Extension development is much easier (and more within my expertise).  Also, if you look at the browser usage stats: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp, it's pretty obvious that Chrome is the browser to be putting effort into in 2015.

So should I try to convince you to switch to Chrome?  Aside from all its superior things (notice amazing argument tactics), I have my awesome extension for it (so that's obviously enough reason to switch right there).

Honestly though, I'd consider making the switch (a little off-topic, but why not)...not to get into a browser war or anything though (I swear that's not what I'm trying to do) [btw Mac is better than PC...shots fired]

Hope you'll check it out in Chrome when it's officially released on the extension store regardless!

Everyone come check it out, it's pretty great!  Download the tool now: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/crypto-lookup/inmhajodfjajjahndjoiebifcbokioim

Being a bitcoiner is tough.  You always want to check out address stats you see online (be it donation addresses, or anything else), but don't want to select the address, txid, etc., and copy it into your block explorer of choice.

We are here to fix this for you!  With this Google Chrome Extension installed, just right-click on the address, txid, or block hash, and click our button: we'll launch a block explorer in a new tab for you, with all your information.

We are looking for other developers to quickly review our code and let us know what y'all think (we're always looking for people to suggest/make improvements).

If there are any developers out there who are interested in joining the project more officially, let us know and we'll bring you aboard!

Check out the current project on GitHub here: https://github.com/btcspry/crypto-lookup

Don't forget to donate to 1MF7hKShzq2iSV9ZZ9hEx6ATnHQpFtM7cF (I dare you to use our extension to send to that address).
