Topic: New Bitcoin Block Format (Read 515 times)
What’s the best resource to see the actual bitcoin block in it’s raw readable format?
For example, if I want to see the actual bitcoin block data?

As long as you're not doing anything that requires trust (in which case, you should use Core), you can just go to:
Code:
https://blockexplorer.com/api/rawblock/
Now when I do this
https://blockexplorer.com/api/rawblock/000000000000000000a7b4999c723ed9f308425708577c76827ade51062e135a
I get this
{"rawblock":"00000020a15e218f5f158a31053ea101b917a6113c807f6bcdc85a000000000000000000cc7cf9e ab23c2eae050377375666cd7862c1dfeb81abd3198c3a3f8e045d91484a39225af6d00018659e5e 8a0101000000010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000f fffffff64030096072cfabe6d6d08d1c2f6d904f4e1cd10c6558f8e5aed5d6a89c43bb22862464e bb819dd8813404000000f09f909f104d696e6564206279206a6f73656d737200000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000007f06000001807c814a0000000019 76a914c825a1ecf2a6830c4401620c3a16f1995057c2ab88acefebcf38"}
But trying to decode that yields gibberish.
Suggestions?

Download the block chain with Bitcoin Core and use a hex editor to look in the files. Or is that too low a level?
Or you could use the getblock command to get the block as a hex string or decoded in JSON. What’s the best resource to see the actual bitcoin block in it’s raw readable format?

The best resource to see the actual bitcoin block in its raw readable format is the hex Editor.
After you have gotten the block hex (the raw data for the block itself), you can then make it a file by putting the hex into a hex editor or better still you can save the hex as a string in a text file.
