Topic: Which Block Explorer do you use ? - page 9. (Read 35318 times)
I only use blockchain.info, I have not really bothered with any of the other explorers. Call me lazy lol.
Blocktrail works for me https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC
I think that blocktrail is very nice. If you're watching the blocksize debate it comes in handy since they indicate which BIP each block's coinbase was signed with.
This is another feature from blocktrail that keeps me on using their service. As an observer of Core vs XT, it is handy to show how many blocks were mined with what version of bitcoin.

https://blockchain.info/ is best and no one can do like them they are professionals and all other are just beginners in front of them.
It was weeks ago, i checked faucetbox first for withdrawals (not their internal transaction), and as you can see there they send from 1 address to 50 addresses payments, so i checked it first on blocktrail, and it showed it.
Then i checked it on blockchain, and blockr, and it didnt showed it. Now to my knowledge even an unconfirmed tx doesnt get withdrawed from the memory pool for 1-2 days, so i guess it was some bug.
I dont remember the transaction id anymore, but i thought i just tell you it.

BlockTrail CTO here,
I'm 100% sure BlockTrail can't show invalid transactions, our infrastructure is build around Bitcoin Core which validates transactions and blocks.
However, what you describe sounds more like a badly propagating transaction or a double spend,
so either it did not propagate to many nodes (so it never reached blockr or bc.info) because of low fee or something other funky (which I guess if they pay to 50 addresses sounds plausible that they didn't pay enough fee)
or it could have been double spend, blockr and blockchain.info only keep track of one of the 2 if someone tries to double spend something, they discard the other.
also keep in mind double spends aren't always intentional, could be excidental software failure etc.
Could you also add blockonomics.co to the list.
I was using it a few weeks ago, and It showed me TX that wasnt on blockchain.info, and I crosschecked it with blockr.io, and it was on blocktrail.
Now it may have been a rare bug, but i just happened to saw it.
Can you point me to it?

1) blockchain.info
Its the fastest and most reliable, others are crappy and show fake transactions, sometimes the amount is not shown correctly. Or just hard to interpret the TX data!
funny how you say that, as blockchain.info is actually the one that shows fake transactions because their ledger doesnt even check to see if a transaction is valid. there's actually an unconfirmed transaction (for 2 years and running) from satoshi's address on BC.i that isnt shown on any other block explorer. Its the fastest and most reliable, others are crappy and show fake transactions, sometimes the amount is not shown correctly. Or just hard to interpret the TX data!
Well blocktrail does the same, i thought blockchain.info showed valid TX, atleast i saw my transactions there and they were ok.
Perhaps some fake ones that got in there, i see they are updating it every day so i hope they will improve their service.
If you mean that BlockTrail also shows fake transactions, then you are wrong. BlockTrail has never shown any fake transactions.

It's funny how people still give their 100% trust to a block explorer that showed some fake transactions on the address where the first 50 bitcoins were sent to. That's a big no for me.
generally or mostly actually forever I am using the one and only block explorer and that is blockchain.org but I am nowdays have started to check the funds from any other explorers also availible in electrum wallet
blockchain.info

i use several explorers blockchain sometimes have problems so its better to use others like blocktrail or something like that
i use blockchain.info only and nothing else, mainly because my wallet is on it and its really easy to use it

I use blockchain.info as well as blockr and blocktrail. depends on my mood I guess 
I'm using only blockchain.info, but now I saw https://blockr.io and that is also very nice.
