Sorry if I'm being stupid but does dropping results into a db slow/delay things (live data) or what I should ask is how often is the db updated so results are not too stale..??
In the case of a block explorer, data only changes with a new block, which for NOBL is every 60 seconds on average, that's quite infrequent, so for practical purposes, the DB is mostly queried, and rarely written to, so there is no need to worry about the update side of things (FWIW DB updates are in the millisecond in my case, much more time is spent querying the client over JSON-RPC than storing the data in the DB)

Oh, you might be able to go faster than a DB with a custom full in-memory solution, but that'll require more work, be more fragile, and may not even be that much faster, as all DB have memory caches as well, so it'll come down to your custom index implementations & your custom data aggregations vs the database's. You're usually much better off tweaking your SQL & indexes IME.

Added two new features to the block explorer at http://chainz.cryptoid.info/nobl/

  • rich addresses list (top 20)
  • extraction pool guesses (which pool mined a block)

Any help in identifying & confirming the guesses welcome Smiley

If this can be validated a bit, I'll add some charts & stats about major pools, their share of the hashrate and trends (so hopefully any 51% risk can be spotted early and easily)

This is really cool.

I got the first block on here for the charity pool Smiley

Any pointers for a n00b on what to research (what to RTFM links/books lol) to pull the various queries? Have a little experience of server (linux) and php.
On which side? Smiley

To obtain the raw data, it's the JSON RPC API (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list), mostly getblock, getrawtransaction & decoderawtransaction.
I then place the data in an SQL database, and after that, it's just SQL querying & tweaking. Then I dump the query results to JSON and try to do most of the presentation in the browser (it's more flexible, and eventually more scalable).

If you want to read on things, look at the Client/Server models from the 90's and think of your php as being the middleware. That's what the "modern" HTML5/JS approach really is: a "fat" client talking to a middleware (php, node, etc.) that interfaces a DB... ajax & jQuery murdered the thin-client, fat-server designs of the Y2K web  Grin

CHeers man, long time since I've done web development. Think you picked up on that with your reply. Smiley

I am also on noble.yourmine, I am mining 7.2 mh. been there 11 days, also hade doge, but traded for noble, I am not going anywhere either.  I believe in the movement and the coin. I have noticed the volume and the hash has gone up, it will be hard for exchanges and investors to ignore, keep up the good work my fellow noblers

Just a quick update on CoinMarket so you don't think we're ignoring it in the background.

If you need some raw database or queries/tools to facilitate investigations, let me know, might be chance this could be automated to some extent!

Hi everyone! My name is Ramoose. I mine and hold Noble, and I am also the guy that supplies the Steam Wallet codes, MTG, and Valve/DOTA2 product to the marketplace (not that we are actually shipping physical products yet).  I am an authorized Steam reseller (I run an Internet & Games Centre) so you can be assured that the steam codes are legit Smiley.

I was introduced to Noble in late Jan by Rofo, who I actually know IRL. I don't need to tell you this, but Rofo is a champ and works his ass off for this coin. I have lurked around this thread for months and decided it was time to get more involved in the community. It's been great to see people sticking with Noble through these tough times, and I have no doubt that it will pay off for us in the long term as weak coins are culled and those with real infrastructure and value are left standing.

Stay NOBLE!

P.S for those interested in the physical product on the marketplace, the reason we have not begun shipping yet is due to Rofo's usual commitment to quality. He did not want to overextend himself with this aspect until he could be certain of shipping/postage issues, turnaround times etc. If you are keen for something, PM me and I will see whether we can send orders out on an manual basis.

Hello Smiley

I like how more and more people are coming from just reading the thread to saying hi.
