After BTC.com successfully launched a new brand a few months back, they've now moved their explorer to a new home as well

Thank you for this new update, SFR10! I modified the name in OP, changing BTC.com with CloverPool and its new link. The change is reflected inside old version of the table and also inside the Romanian version of the topic. And I will PM soon all the translators to update their translations as well, in order to reflect the last changes.

^{- While we're at it, we should also keep tabs on BitcoinExplorer and Txflow ^{[both have been unreachable for a few days]}.}

BitcoinExplorer works for me... does it work on your side as well? Also, does Txflow work now on your side? If not, I think we can eliminate this explorer...

After BTC.com successfully launched a new brand a few months back, they've now moved their explorer to a new home as well: CloverPool ^{[considering that there's little to no difference between the current explorer and the "last archive of the previous one", I think we should stick to 1miau's ratings for this one as well]}

I don't know why no point to walletexplorer.com, though I found it to be among few only (if not single one) which list addresses by wallet's public key whether legacy, native segwit or nested segwit's with of course past transactions, balances, etc. Tell me if I am wrong

If you'd have read the comment added for that website, you could see that you risk having your IP tracked. You can read this post for understanding the decision regarding the rating of WalletExplorer.

Yes (12/2023)

Since then, we've been displaying transaction information and indicating whether a transaction uses SegWit. We also highlight transactions with mixed inputs (some SegWit, some not) where applicable.

It's been over a month, so I'm raising this topic to remind about my project.

Thank you for this reminder, cloxy!

You are right, since a month passed and nobody objected, I added your website to OP and also to the old version of the table. I will update soon the Romanian version of OP as well but I need one more info from you: at the column "SegWit (P2SH) identifiable?**" you wrote only "Yes", without specifying also since when (month/year). Can you add this information as well, please, for having all the fields filled properly?

Thank you.

Thank you cloxy for submitting your proposal in the proper format. Let's wait a few days before adding the proposal, thus other members have time to express their oppinions too about this new explorer. If no objections will arise, I will add the website soon.

At same time, I was waiting an answer from cygan or bullrun2020 regarding the question posted by SFR10 about Arkham website -- how did you find that it supports SegWit addresses? Is it only for registered users...?

I believe that should be it. I’m very grateful for your prompt reply. Thanks in advance!

You might consider adding BitRef.com to the list.

Thank you for the suggestion, cloxy! But I kindly ask you to use the format specified in OP. I mean this one:

You might consider adding BitRef.com to the list. It's an innovative Bitcoin block explorer that provides more detailed information than others, particularly when it comes to unconfirmed Bitcoin transactions. I've put a lot of effort into developing it, and I believe it is now on par with the others.

Concerning the rating: I would go with a higher rating than a 7, since I am using Arkham quite frequently. Especially if you compare it to a few other explorers on the list that got a higher/same rating.

Thank you cygan & bullrun for the suggestion. I added the site rated with 8. cygan, since bullrun mentioned the website first, I think it's fair to use his rating... But I thank you very much for bringing the site to our attention as well, inside the main topic.

I also made the necessary changes to the old table and also to the Romanian translation of the thread.

Quote from: SFR10 on September 06, 2024, 12:35:20 PM

I'm not sure if we have to sign up to get access to more sets of features on its explorer, but I had no luck in finding a way that could identify Segwit addresses.

Maybe cygan / bullrun can tell us how they tested this...?

^{- BTW, it doesn't seem to work while JavaScript is turned off.}

Thank you, SFR, I mentioned this while doing the update.

Quote from: SFR10 on September 06, 2024, 12:35:20 PM

Blockstream works without JavaScript.

Thank you, SFR10! You update is now visible everywhere I could add it

I will PM also the translators to make these changes but, first, we need to know for sure if the website recognizes SegWit addresses or not...

I forgot to also post an update here ^{[my post in our local thread]}, but Blockstream works without JavaScript.

Since its a subjective rating you can of course rank it with 7 stars, just remove my name from the "rated by" area.

My subjetive rating would be an 8+, but that's only my opinion of course (and ofc, I would rate some other explorers on the list differently).

bullrun2024bro suggested the blockchain explorer called Arkham Computer in the german thread yesterday
this specific explorer can also be used to monitor various wallets as well as transactions from various other blockchains.
i have now also taken a closer look at it and here is my rating:

Name (link)	Bech32 / Bech32m (P2TR) supported?	SegWit (P2SH) identifiable?**	Usefulness (subjective rating) ***	Works without JS?	Rated by

Sure... Sorry for not including the necessary details ^{[my bad]}. They're connected to a group of platforms that are known for their selective scams in our community ^{[e.g. Changelly is one of them as well]}

Ohhh... Thank you for this information, SFR10!

I was not aware of the incidents with ChangeNOW, since I wasn't on the forum in that period... But for sure I heard about Changelly and I am aware of many unfortunate incidents which happened to various people because of this exchange...

Well, that is enough for me for not considering adding blockexplorers.nownodes.io to OP since the website was created by ChangeNOW. salad daging, thank you for your proposal, but given the information provided by SFR10 I think it's best to avoid listing this website.

ChangeNOW ^{[their "trust summary page" has the necessary reference links, but you can start from "this thread"]}

I couldn't find a way to identify Segwit addresses and it appears to only partially work without enabling JavaScript.

Thank you for your input, SFR10!
salad daging, if you read this, can we have your opinion too, please?

Quote from: SFR10 on August 04, 2024, 01:24:47 PM

If it were up to me, I wouldn't list them mainly because of the fact that it was created by "ChangeNOW ^{[I do know it's just an explorer, but I can't ignore their past history in our community]}"!

@GazetaBitcoin This Bitcoin Block Explorer wasn't on the table yet, so I added this one.
If there is something missing, please correct it. Thank you.

Thank you for your suggestion, salad daging!

I will add it to OP... but I wish that other to take a look also at this site... I never heard of it before... So if other users could add their input, it would be highly appreciated!
At same time, I noticed that you rated its usefulness with 6/10, but your comment says that it's not user friendly. In this context, do you believe that 6/10 is the correct mark...? There is nothing subtle about my question, just making sure that you believe the mark is correct
