Topic: CryptoCoin Explorer - Coin Block Explorers. - page 7. (Read 30817 times)

Hey Dream can you give me a little hand i have abe running fine only thing i want to do is get the hash rate for the coins i have now is that possible? Just a little lost with the way you did it not sure what i need to add to abe.py ect.....

I have started phase 1 of the POS/POW getnetworkhash patch.

The databases are in place and the PPC,NVC and BTB explorers are collecting the POW difficulties of every block as they come on the network to be mined.

I would like to have 24 hours of data before activating the functionality of getnetworkhash on these explorers. The getnetworkhash API will not be able to go back further then when the databases were started and will automatically stop at that cut-off.



The next planned patch on the API is the ability to use blocks or time in the parameters.This will be a CCE wide patch, all the explorers will receive it.

Heh - no rush.  Just making sure there wasn't a different way to get it

I am trying.

I have the solution figured out to both the POS/POW and having the option of using time parameters in the API instead of blocks if desired.

I have been so busy putting out fires the last few days that it keeps getting knocked back

I am going to really try and get it implemented this week. I need the API myself for some changes I want to do with CCE homepage. 

I forgot - have you solved a way of figuring this out for the POW/POS coins?

I just want to let the community know that I do read the requests to add coins to CCE, and wish I could honor all of them.

I see CCE as a place to gather information form a neutral source and I believe it is vital to the cryptocoin community.

However, I have a few issues to deal with:

1. I cannot continue to put coins on the homepage the way it is, there are too many coins on it as it is. I am trying to come up with ways to deal with the homepage crowding. Perhaps a tabbed view where every coin has it's own page. The home page could just list all the coins and their network hash rate and link to the coins individual page where links and basic information could be put, maybe even a coin developers statement.

2. RESOURCES. Every coin requires a daemon to be running and database updates every time a new block comes on the network for every coin, on top of the web traffic and API requests to have the explorer read and interpret database query's. CCE is spread over two VPS's now, and not cheapo shared website type hosting. To upgrade the VPS's to the next level would double my costs, which have gone up to around 8x what they were when I started this project.

I have been offered bounties or donations to put coins on CCE presently and in the past. While they are greatly appreciated, they do not go into my decision process on a very high level, most of the bounties and donations I have received when I put a new coin on CCE were for coins I had planned on adding anyway. One also needs to realize that new alt-coins are generally not worth all that much. This is not to say I do not enjoy getting them, but projects such as this have real costs involved with them on a recurring basis. This also makes me reluctant to take bounties or donations towards a new coin, how long do I keep supporting  a dead or dying coin on CCE before removing it. I do not like making that decision in the first place and if a community has given me a bounty it will make me feel worse.
I started CryptoCoin Mine to help with all this, and granted I have not put one of the established major coins on yet, but the reception has been luke-warm at best. I guess only time will tell if that project pans out.

3. Other projects and CCE improvements. I spend ALOT of time maintaining and trying to improve CCE on top of working on other projects with other developers. I honestly do not think anybody would believe me if I told you how many hours a week I spend total. Here is a hint: I recently finished my 2nd degree (Network specialization). When the Dean saw how many hours I put in, she waived the internship/coop requirement without question...

To sum up - I just wanted to tell the community that I am not ignoring requests to add coins. There are some issues to get worked out and decisions to be made in this new Alt-coin environment.

Well people have been asking about the removal since it was removed, if you had even tried to mention why it was removed sooner things might have been sorted out quicker

Worldcoin is back on CCE.

wdc.cryptocoinexplorer.com

I did not know WDC did not have a block explorer.

I was also unaware that http://wdc.block-chain.net/ pointed to CCE.

I originally took WDC off CCE (The first and only coin to be removed), because of the lack of support from the WDC community after putting it up.

When that happened, WDC had another block explorer so I figured the community had that block explorer and appeared to have little interest in CCE.

Now that I am aware WDC does not have a block explorer, I will put a WDC explorer up ASAP, tonight or tomorrow.

I am still wondering why nobody informed me of this before, especially with the above URL pointing to CCE

I do have an investment and an interest in Worldcoin, and as I know of no other block explorer for Worldcoin this was a big loss not being able to know how many coins are in my offline wallet.

Add BitGem, please.

I will donate some BitGems.

AmericanCoin please! It's on Cryptsy already.

Gldcoin wooot!

Soooooo, about that Worldcoin removal? I have no investment or any real interest in Worldcoin in particular but how can I rely on your site if you just randomly remove coins and give absolutely no reason for it?

BTC TESTNET Explorer is now up on CCE

The explorer is having some issues with the transactions in the difficulty 1.0 blocks. Are they some kind of new (or previously unused) script type?

Any information on what kind of transactions are in the difficulty 1 blocks would help me fix the explorer to understand them.

Is there any chance of adding Phenixcoin?

Thanks

Sure, if I can make a contribution to BTC, I would be more than happy to set it up.

I should have it up tonight, tomorrow at the latest.

Is there any chance of adding Bitcoin testnet?  The main block explorer has frozen at block 80805 (2013-05-21) and shows no signs of coming back to life, and the person who took that site over from theymos has not responded.

The network hash rate has been temporary removed from the BBQ home page due to the large delay loading the page with it on.

The hash rate is still available through the getnetworkhash and nethash API.

The Terracoin explorer is running again, although I am uncertain if it is fixed.

I am monitoring it to see under what conditions the issue occurs.
