AFAIK the default is 3 or 6 hop, but you can configure Tor to only use 1 hop.
Loyce's hidden service uses 3 hops from his side, and so is mempool.space.

You're right. I forget to actually check amount of hop/relay from Tor Browser and made hasty assumption. Anyway, while i also experience loyce instance is slower than "official" one, i don't feel it's slow compared with average onion website.

With .onion sites, I always assume the Tor network is the bottleneck, and not the site I'm visiting.

Indeed, http://loycevu3e75xlfrdxqueln6mk2dl2ditaqohpxgc35k2jezww6sxs4qd.onion/ loads faster than 'official' http://mempoolhqx4isw62xs7abwphsq7ldayuidyx2v2oethdhhj6mlo2r6ad.onion/ instance!

mempool.space do also run their own onion site here: http://mempoolhqx4isw62xs7abwphsq7ldayuidyx2v2oethdhhj6mlo2r6ad.onion
This one has LN beta explorer, so it must be newer version than LoyceV's.
Yes, you can check: https://mempool.space/about
They are already running v2.5.0-dev, commit: https://github.com/mempool/mempool/commit/10bca8f6

While latest release (which D@rkBASIC is running) is v2.4.0 from June. https://github.com/mempool/mempool/releases/tag/v2.4.0

D@rkBASIC created this: loycevu3e75xlfrdxqueln6mk2dl2ditaqohpxgc35k2jezww6sxs4qd.onion! It's a mempool.space clone on the Tor network.
For unknown reason, the "Total sent/received" amounts aren't showing.
For unknown reasons this website was not loading for me on several different identities on Tor browser.
I finally managed to open it with one identity but it was opening very slow compared to other onion websites, and I don't what could be the reason for this.
I noticed website is missing LN beta explorer that is available on clearnet version, so do you plan to add this in future?

Are you maintaining it somehow?
Nope.

However, who is handling the hosting / has access to the data (logs?) in there? (is it only you?)
It's D@rkBASIC's server. I don't have any access to it. In any case, it's best not to link addresses together on any one block explorer.

Did you generate that vanity onion address?
Also not me Smiley

Looking at about page, it might be because it use unstable version from commit with hash [7fecea9c]. If you prefer stability, you should use stable version from https://github.com/mempool/mempool/releases.

I guess it's a (configurable) database option.

Also, I tried loading up a random address. This is what's shown:
I get that error too. Obviously due to the fact that address has 5,000+ transactions. I tried a few new circuits and got the same error every time. It loads just fine on the official onion link I gave above, though, so must be something to do with Loyce's particular set up.

This raises an interesting question: For an address which has transactions of arbitrary numbers of inputs and outputs, Is the address loading a factor of linear space, or polynomial space?

In other words, does this Mempool.space attempt to construct a UTXO set and final balances of all addresses at once, or does it just do static analyis of the address history from its first transaction to the last?

Nice. More explorers, less tracking. Even though, I don't mind much visiting the mempool.space over Tor, it's actually faster sometimes and that's why I prefer it over their hidden service.

Also, I tried loading up a random address. This is what's shown:

Address

Error loading address data.
(Too many history entries)

Over all it's pretty much faster than the original. Good job.

It works for me...
Also for me. Whole site seems to be running nicely. Good effort Loyce.

mempool.space do also run their own onion site here: http://mempoolhqx4isw62xs7abwphsq7ldayuidyx2v2oethdhhj6mlo2r6ad.onion

Or the most recent commit from: https://github.com/mempool/mempool/commit/10bca8f6. This is the one the official site is running. Bonus with this one is it also includes their new Lightning network visualizer.

I'm just sharing it here

All in all, I do like it. It's my fav block explorer and putting it onto tor is a good step forward.
However, who is handling the hosting / has access to the data (logs?) in there? (is it only you?)

A random address (with unconfirmed transactions, in the mempool) couldn't load at all (http://loycevu3e75xlfrdxqueln6mk2dl2ditaqohpxgc35k2jezww6sxs4qd.onion/address/3FNdapWSNRovQcTR5i9YHxPh2a8rVC2kXV):

It works for me...

For unknown reason, the "Total sent/received" amounts aren't showing.

I'm just sharing it here, the more block explorers out there, the better you can hide your private data from prying eyes.


Nice to see this new mempool.space.

Are you maintaining it somehow? Maybe you could relabel it.? onionpool.space or something like that.

I found some bugs, probably related to server stability

A random address (with unconfirmed transactions, in the mempool) couldn't load at all (http://loycevu3e75xlfrdxqueln6mk2dl2ditaqohpxgc35k2jezww6sxs4qd.onion/address/3FNdapWSNRovQcTR5i9YHxPh2a8rVC2kXV):



Other addresses look ok.
