If you go to http://qcl.me/gweedo there even more block explorers listed there.

Thanks. I didn't realize how limited in viewing the blockchain really is with using a web browser. I wonder if there is a way to tap into the bitcoin network via SSH or something and view all the data scroll by on the screen. Kind of like using the tail command.

If you want you can tail your log file if you run a bitcoind or bitcoin-qt
Code:
tail -f ~/.bitcoin/debug.log

I'm using Windows here, but there must be a way to view the live blockchain data right? I mean if bitcoind connects to it, then a regular terminal program should be able to right? Also, this is all out of curiosity. I'm not looking to do anything malicious or negative here.

Ahh yes, that's what I was looking for. I'm always forgetting about that wiki site because it ends in *.it. Throws me off.
Thanks!

I'm only aware of two.

Blockchain.info and Blockexplorer.com

Are there any other sites where you can view the bitcoin network via HTML? I certainly don't want to view it in raw letters and numbers. Smiley
