I have setup an online TRC Block explorer Much like my PPC block explorer.

It is in a early stage of development. I have not even reserved a Domain name yet, or have the home page setup with a PHP script to the correct port.

I am unaware of an official symbol for Terracoin, so if somebody could point me in the right direction, I can put it in the explorer.

I may just merge the PPC and TRC explorer together instead of two separate engines. On the other hand, PPC needs significant code changes to ABE, so that may not be practical.

Let me know about any issues or ideas you may have.

Thanks man !

sent you a small amount of TRC, i'll try to give you more from time to time.

Now we can inspect first blocks of the chain, without messing with trillions of rpc commands :)
(already had a look to a few first mined blocks)

... and inspect our pool's main receiving address, to see if it really distributes any single penny received :)
(no trust issue here, but a bug may exist)

holding some 17,000+ TRC !!! Not bad... i just hope that this was one of the founders of TRC and their collection of coins.... as this person had almost half the total coins created at block 2524

Quite fat miners joined the movement quickly, up to a few days ago, there was a 23+ Ghashes/s miner there, he's been there for a while ...

Difficulty varies a lot currently, but for small miners .. it's already too late to stand a chance :(

When others only have 20 or so ??

Do not complicate the simple issue. Just use good free hosting (http://api.1freehosting.com/redir/1706295), the one that offers free domain name as well.

http://www.1freehosting.com/cdn/freehosting-728x90.jpg (http://api.1freehosting.com/redir/1706295)

You just started the project but already upped the bar high. What if donations are insufficient to cover costs?
You will cancel project or start begging around for more money, like countless other websites?

Project itself is very useful. Just don't make the same mistake as countless others did, and make it's existence
dependant on donations.

If it gets to that point, I may try it out.

The issue is that I need full root access and to save my sanity, be running the same distro and version on the server as my local development/testbed.

In other words, dependency HELL.
In fact I will be moving PPC Explorer to the new VPS that TRC explorer is on because of it. Too many dependency issues and things like repository versions for one distro may not have the same features.
I recently ran into that issue with TRC and the VPS PPC is on. The OpenSSL libraries on Centos do not support ecdsa, and when attempting to install the generic version of OpenSSL, A whole new set of dependency problems arose.

I would much rather spend my time in actual development then chasing dependencies around, hence I now host on a VPS that either runs the same distro/version or allows one to upload their own OS to the VPS.

i have observed that every time one mines a block, the reward goes to a fresh address.

When one goes to move those coins, it looks like a bunch of ~20 coin transactions from different addresses even though it is coming from the same client.

Any clue why genesis block has 50 TRC sent nowhere (http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:3750/tx/0f8b09f93803b067580c16c3f3a6aaa901be06ad892cea9f02d8a4f93628f196)?

I read somewhere that bitcoin's genesis block transaction also lead to .. nowhere, never had a look at it though.. not sure it's a requirement, or some laziness.

Regarding the 50 TRC amount .. hehe .. no idea :)

That makes that block (even) more unique i guess..

"he bitcoins in Genesis block are not spendable (but this did not prevent some well meaning halfbrains from sending additional coins to that address). But the private key for that genesis block exists (or at least existed) so Satoshi could prove his identity at any chosen moment if he wishes and if the key is not lost. I wonder if this is a bug or Satoshi was so bright to include this intentionally?"

Regarding the genesis block 'timestamp' sentence, i had a look earlier (while joining the network .. i'm curious :) ), it's a tribute ("RIP") message to a close (i guess).

Edit: hop .. here it is, directly from the source :)

Code:
// Genesis block
const char* pszTimestamp = "June 4th 1978 - March 6th 2009 ; Rest In Peace, Stephanie.";

Thank you for all who have donated so far.

I have seen a growing number of thread/questions about various compiled versions of PPC and other Alt coins.

Would there be in interest in having the cryptocoinexplorer site host some of these files?

I would compile these myself, and I can compile just about anything. Although some programmers insistence on using libraries and headers that are Linux only can get a bit frustrating.. >:(

(I am looking at you resource.h header.. IF anybody knows how to get around this header during a Linux/Windows cross compile, let me know. It is probably something simple that would require a smack to my forehead  :P)

Is that in the Bitcoin Genesis block? That seems like a pretty good hint to start working on in figuring out who Satoshi was.

You mean Terracoin founder? Satoshi left different message in Bitcoin genesis block (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block).

Anyway, coin explorer does not label orphaned blocks as such, it just lists them below next valid block, as can be seen here:

http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com:3750/block/00000000002adf857a2e75a22345e72f1c97e08ada5da7426e25b5b3d0adcbc0 (http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com:3750/block/00000000002adf857a2e75a22345e72f1c97e08ada5da7426e25b5b3d0adcbc0)

Block listed below "Next block" is it's orphan, e.g. both blocks are on height 18689. "Next block (Orphan)" label would be nice.

Another thing with coin explorer and Terracoins is "Coins created" (http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com:3750/chains) cell = how come value for it does not ends with 0.0000 ?
I mean, genesis block added 50 TRC and all subsequent blocks added 20 TRC, so there is no way sum can have 9.999 at end.

I will look into the code to identify orphan blocks and fix the issue.

The .99999 issue could be a rounding error or possibly due to odd blocks like:
http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com:3750/block/0000000000050aa4ee9529721b046fb247df6b9ec4fada81d7a93c17d9186992

The raw transaction shows two generation transactions of 19.8 and .2 ??

I will also look into and fix the code for that also.

Thank you for bringing these issues to my attention.

This is one transaction, with 2 outputs, nothing wrong here i'd say.

(and ... i'd bet i know where those are coming from, that 19.8 number appears frequently at a given trc pool)

some pools even use the "generation" transaction to "pay" miners, if i remember right, eligius did (still do?) that earlier to distribute rewards to miners.

You are correct, I misspoke(typed?).

I still find it odd in the sense that it is different from the normal generation, as I would think that a coin base transaction would be uniform with a system that has constant value as a mining reward.

I am curious if this would be due to a modified client, or something inherit to the official client itself?

I guess the question is academic as the blocks are being accepted and the transaction does equal the 20 TRC reward.

I just had a quick look at official bitcoin wiki, and couldn't find an exact limit to the number of output addresses, only the total amount is written there.

Not sure if it must be strictly equal to the current awaited value, or if it could also be smaller (i guess not, that would break the whole economy magic i guess)


I am curious if this would be due to a modified client, or something inherit to the official client itself?

I think the poolmining software is probably responsible for the block construction, never heard about that kind of client modification, long ago, when i gave a try to eligius pool (as miners only interact with the pool's software ?).

There are probably mining pools that submit generated blocks to multiple remote nodes to ensure it's correctly spread, quickly. (p2pool maybe? just a wild guess, not sure)

Please keep giving me feedback, and thank you for pointing out the issues.

I might be wrong, but block numbers go from 0 to X and height goes from 1 to X+1. In other words, genesis block height is 1, not 0.

Attempting to check first 20 blocks for PPC results in server error:

http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com:2750/chain/PPcoin?hi=19&count=20 (http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com:2750/chain/PPcoin?hi=19&count=20)

Off topic, sort of - Any clue why LTC explorer frequently shows no address for newly generated coins?

http://explorer.litecoin.net/block/1e616de547a7624f818f53f575fa90b1a9d5d1048108b7fcfd81b7bd13af4b83 (http://explorer.litecoin.net/block/1e616de547a7624f818f53f575fa90b1a9d5d1048108b7fcfd81b7bd13af4b83)

Genesis block height being 0 or 1 could be debated. Blockchain.info lists the height of the Genesis block as 0. Blockexplorer.com, which arguably is the largest implementation of ABE, does not  list height.
ABE (which the block explorers on my site are based on) count it as 0. I never saw a big reason to change it, but if enough people feel it should be 1 I can look into changing it.

I will look into the search feature of the PPCoin explorer, it is based on a older version of ABE that had to be altered significantly to accommodate PPC. As of now this issue is second in line for examination, top of the list is the strange shutdowns of the PPCoin daemon that seem to be occurring. I am not seeing a huge memory leak yet, but it appears to be shutting down at random with no core dump files. Possibly still a memory issue, but I am monitoring process CPU/memory usage to try and catch the issue.


As for LTC, that is a different beast altogether, I am glad somebody got the LTC explorer up again before I did.  :P

Get-work may be part of it, but be aware that PPC explorer is also experiencing creeping memory leakage.

For example after restart and catch up last night ,ppcoind was using about 3.4% of the memory. Overnight it has creeped up to around 6% of the memory.

Just letting you know to keep that in mind.

Please try keep an eye on the memory utilization and the pattern of its growth. I did sporadically experience swap errors and os shutdowns on the seed nodes as well which are running on some type of hosted virtual machines. Although I cannot confirm whether it's caused by memory exhaustion of ppcoin.

Other nodes I have seem to be running quite stable though.

The PPC Explorer has been upgraded


I have applied the previous modifications and some new modifications to the current version ABE to bring PPC explorer up to date.

Integrating and changing the newest version of ABE with the PPC modifications made more sense then patching the explorer based on an old version of ABE.

The above mentioned issue with the server error has been fixed, and I have cleaned up some of the display formats. For example, limiting difficulty display to 2 decimal places.

Other nodes I have seem to be running quite stable though.

Before I rebooted the server tonight, the usage was up to 7%.

My guess is that an object that both Get work and the routine the daemon uses to stay current may be the culprit.

I will look at the PPC code to add an extra pair of eyes searching for it.

I have spent about 30-40 hours on the I0coin code trying to figure out its similar issue and have really just come out with more questions than answers.

How much, if any, does PPC daemon memory cache in terms of TX or even blocks?

The Bitcoin Daemon also used a large amount of memory until the latest releases, I believe there was a change in the database among a couple of other things that drastically lowered its memory footprint. Perhaps looking at the latest code might spark some ideas.

If genesis block generated 50 TRC than value for "Outstanding" is 20 TRC less than total amount of coins generated.

http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com:3750/chain/Terracoin?hi=19&count=20 (http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com:3750/chain/Terracoin?hi=19&count=20)

Extra work = rename "Outstanding" to something more appropriate, like "Total coins"?

Fixed. The amount discrepancy  was a small last minute change that slipped placement in the live server code on the last code update.

After reviewing the blockexplorer.com, I see they changed the default label to "Total BTC", so I have changed the label to "Total TRC" on the TRC explorer.

I will fix the label on the PPC Explorer as well.

Thank you for bringing it up.

Thank you for your support Coinotron.

Just a quick observation for Sunny and the pool operators:

I set maxconnections to 8  and I have noticed a significant drop in the memory usage creep.  The PPC daemon has only increased to 3.8% since I made the max Connections change and rebooted the daemon.

Normally  I would have went from about 3.4% at reboot, to around 5% memory usage in that same period of time.

Hopefully this observation will help the pool operators and get Sunny one step closer to squashing this bug.

Good to know. I will try it on next PPC restart.
ATM my workaround is to increase share difficulty. This decreases number of RPC getwork calls. It helped me to extend time span between restarts to 3 days.

Just an update, as of now the ppcoin daemon has only crept up to 3.9% of the memory whereas normally at this point it would be around 7% and most likely shutdown.

So the max connections set at 8, at the very least, appears to solve the issue with my particular use of the daemon.

I restarted ppcoind 5 hours ago with maxconnections=8.
Memory usage looks promising :) It is at 75MB atm. After previous restarts ppcoind quickly reached 300-400MB.

Due to the unique nature of  demurrage, further modification of the explorer is needed.

I will keep you posted in this thread.

Good Luck Freicoin...You have some competition in the Alt-coin world. But I try to support as many as I can.   ;D

Due to the unique nature of  demurrage, further modification of the explorer is needed.

WARNING: THE ADDRESS PAGE DOES NOT TAKE DEMURRAGE INTO ACCOUNT WHEN CALCULATING BALANCES
This is also causing issues with fee calculation when older coins are in the transfer, especially noticeable with large transfers

We are working on a solution, until then you can view the demurrage wikki at:

How-to-properly-handle-demurrage-in-applications (https://github.com/freicoin/freicoin/wiki/How-to-properly-handle-demurrage-in-applications)

I will keep you posted in this thread.

I want to thank Maaku for his support in helping to further the functionality of the explorer.

TODO LIST:

1. Calculate demurrage in the address page
2. Related to #1, fix fee calculation to address demurrage

Terracoin part of explorer is not working for me in most cases.

Thank you for letting me know.

It appears a new set of exceptions concerning its connection with the database are starting to pop-up.

I will look onto this is issue and get it it fixed as quickly as possible.

UPDATE:

I have changed the database type used with the Terracoin explorer in an effort to stop the database access deadlock occurring with the explorers.

The issue seems more predominant with the Terracoin explorer, which is strange in itself as the Terracoin explorer required the least amount of modification of ABE.

I will closely monitor the change over the next few days, but hopefully this will help fix the deadlock issue occurring with all three explorers.

Hmm, the Freicoin explorer just  database deadlocked.

I would like to get a few opinions:

For a multi-process enviroment, each R/W its own database.

Is MySQL or POSTGRES a better choice? Or should I consider SQLITE?

Added: ABE is  running in Python 2.7 for each of the explorers.

Different databases and logins, but 1 database server. (Well 2 now, MySql and POSTGRES)

As of now - PPC and Feicoin are using MySql and Terracoin is using POSTGRES

If you are already using mysql & postgres those are very solid database engines so most likely it's the abe code needs some work to eliminate deadlock issues.

Post by: dreamwatcher on January 04, 2013, 07:27:54 PM
Well, I have thought of a couple things I can do, both of which can be done or just one or the other.

1. ABE is actually designed to handle multiple chains in a single instance. I have not perused this due to the modifications needed for PPC and FRC. I would have to code quite a large amount of conditional statements, and basically it would be like starting from square one.

Advantages - I could run 3 or 4 ABE instances, with some attached to MySQL and some attached to POSTGRES. I could then load balance incoming requests between the ABE instances.
Disadvantages - Lot of code work

2. I did a little investigation into cost, I have found it would actuality be cheaper to upgrade my Internet access and get a static address, then to continue just having a personal level of Internet access and pay separately for the VPS.
I have plenty of hardware stocked where I could make a real server which would perform much better then a VPS and a couple of commercial grade routers (older, but would work fine for this).

Advantages - Cheaper while providing better service

Disadvantages - All maintenance and security is on my shoulders, nobody to call if it all goes to crap.

PPC has always used 520 confirmations for block maturity for both POW and POS blocks.

I will look into adding this and other features during the site revamp I am currently working on. Thanks for the suggestion.



Suggestion for Terracoin part of explorer:

User can select 20, 50, 100 or 2016 blocks listed per page, but none of those values matter with Terracoin. Values that make sense are
30, 60, 120, 150, 300, 600 and eventualy 1200.

I see no reason why this cannot be done. I will implement it during the revamp.

I am curious as to why those values make for better use?

Should be back up.

I am still having issues with database deadlock and continue to try and find a solution. Strangely enough it is still mostly with TRC and not PPC or FRC.

I am considering changing to a blockchain.info type system, now that the base system is available on github.

I have been busy over the last few weeks with things other than cryptocoinexplorer, though I should have a bit more time now. However spring semester started last week, so I will try my best to dedicate some time to cryptocoinexplorer.

I have been experimenting with changing database parameters on the database TRC uses on the site for some time.

A change was made a couple of days ago which appears to fix the deadlock issue. I have not had to reset TRC since Thursday night when the change was made.

WWW.CRYPTOCOINEXPLORER.COM (http://WWW.CRYPTOCOINEXPLORER.COM)

The explorer has moved to a new hosting service, LiteHosting. The switchover is complete.

This will only effect situations where an application uses the numerical IP address instead of the DNS address (www.cryptocoinexplorer.com)

The new IP address is 84.200.84.74. I will keep the explorer running on both hosts for a bit longer, but no longer then the end of the month.

The owner of LiteHosting (http://www.litehosting.org) offered me a great rate, and was responsive and helpful getting things started. Please consider using LiteHosting (http://www.litehosting.org) for your hosting needs.

dreamwatcher, thanks for the free service and for keeping my donation address on the pages!

I am curious to see your changes to Abe, it would be nice to integrate them upstream... eventually in my copious spare time.   ;)

Also, would you mind sharing the database tweak intended to stop the deadlocks, and does it still appear to work?  If I were doing it all over, I would decide on a transaction isolation level at the outset and code to that.  I think READ COMMITTED ought to be sufficient for this app, though it would have been worth the effort to retry deadlocks in order to support stricter isolation.  Maybe still worth the effort.

Given my time constraints, I really don't adequately test Abe but do appreciate bug reports.

For the most part, I needed to add variables to the deserialize module to account for extra fields in the transactions. Besides setting Name, 3 code, address version and "magic numbers",
in all cases I disabled the merkle tree check. If it becomes necessary I will fix it the "right way"

I also had to change the parameters for the SCRYPT_PUBKEY_RE in all cases to  "\x21(.{33})\xac\\Z"

PPC:
Extra timestamp on the Txin
Added the ability to tell the difference between POW and POS blocks, and change the webpage header and block display accordingly.

FRC:
Extra field "Block Reference" in TXout.
TO DO: Account for demurrage in the account balance page.

TRC:
Not much, although ABE does produce a non-fatal error when trying to calculate the current block difficulty.
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/xxxxx/terracoin/Abe/DataStore.py", line 2389, in catch_up
    store.catch_up_dir(dircfg)
  File "/home/xxxxx/terracoin/Abe/DataStore.py", line 2442, in catch_up_dir

  File "/home/xxxxx/terracoin/Abe/util.py", line 56, in calculate_target
    return (nBits & 0xffffff) << (8 * ((nBits >> 24) - 3))
ValueError: negative shift count

Datastore is sending a "0" nbits, causing the error. ABE does correct the difficulty once the block is solved and is placed in the database.

This is also the issue I have with "deadlock" after a long catch up and this error. The error delays ABE long enough that the database will close the connection and ABE will lock due to a broken pipe. The error only occurs on the current block, so the catch up in relation to past blocks runs normal.

I think the correct way to solve the problem is to use a bitcoinrpc module and just get the difficulty directly from the daemon. Ultimately this will be my solution, but for now I have opened up the database parameters to allow more time before closing the connection.

There were a couple of more tweaks to the database that were done, but it was over a period of months and I had forgotten what they were... :D (I know, I know...document).
That was the reason for the current lock-ups with the Hosting switch, I tried to tweak the database from memory. I have since copied over the config file from the old host and hopefully it will start to run smooth again.


I could put the current explorers up on git hub, though there would be quite a bit of repetitive data between the repositories.

vedalken254:

As mentioned above, I have replaced the database config with the config from the old server. Hopefully this will solve the "deadlock" issue on TRC for now.

I see that Balthazar has posted ABE configured for NVC in git hub.

Though it needs a bit of tweaking, it would not be difficult to include it on CCE (CryptoCoinExplorer).

I am on the fence about adding it.

On one hand I try to be fair and include all Alt-coins that need an explorer on CCE. (Hence why there are no LTC or DEV explorers on site, they already have well established explorers available)

On the other hand, there has been some concerns raised about its origins and relation to BTC-E.

I would like to hear from the people who use CCE. Do you want NVC added to CCE?

Please do not make this into a debate about the coin itself, there are plenty of threads on that subject. I just want opinions on whether I should add NVC to CCE.

Well,

It appears TRC is still having the deadlock issue even after I placed a copy of the config from the old server on the new server and restarted PostgreSQL and ABE.

I will have to put my idea of using RPC to get the difficulty on the current block of TRC explorer at the top of my to-do list.

Until then, I will keep a eye on it and reset the deadlocks as I see them happen.



Sorry about that... :(

I would see no problem with adding NVC, if you think anyone would be interested.  Or if you would just be interested in the project yourself!  It's just a piece of information, which if anything helps to make a market more honest.

I might have an idea for you to try. Is it possible to implement a broken-pipe shutoff (aka ABE shuts off for TRC when it gets a broken pipe error) and then implement a cron job to check for the process to see if it is running and if it isn't, to start it up again?

The issue is a moot point now.

A NVC explorer has been established at:

I will revisit the issue if the other NVC explorers go offline, or if there is a compelling reason to include NVC on CCE.   :)

I have little experience with publishing on Github, so I am making the explorer code a new repository as forking from jtobey's repository and implementing the changes just got too confusing.

However I still want to make sure John Tobey gets the credit for the ABE project.  https://github.com/jtobey/bitcoin-abe (https://github.com/jtobey/bitcoin-abe)

I will keep everybody updated as I publish the other two explorers.  :)

I have decided to publish the source code to the explorers on Github. I do this in the spirit of open source and to encourage others to make suggestions and improve upon them.
Excellent, I was just about to request the same!

When I have time (if no one else does it first) I'd like to organize these source trees as clones or branches of jtobey/bitcoin-abe (or a new Abe repo under a shared account).  I think that will facilitate merging the code and relegating the differences to config options.

Thanks for all your work!

I was never fully happy with my changes. I always thought they could be cleaner, some minor bugs fixed or a feature added. I am still not completely satisfied with the coding, but I have delayed publishing long enough.

This is the reason I have not released the TRC explorer yet, one bug I still want to squash before I publish.  :D

Dammit,

Day ONE issue.  :o

I have released a commit on both PPC and FRC explorers addressing an issue I just learned about.

I have not had to create new databases in quite some time, so I did not realize there was a DDL implicit issue when creating new databases.

I discovered the issue when setting up a fresh TRC explorer on the test server to work on the current difficulty bug in the TRC explorer.

Post by: dreamwatcher on March 24, 2013, 12:16:59 AM
Just thought I would give an update on that is happening with the explorers.

I am no longer having issues with the databases, I believe I have narrowed down the major issues to an compatibility problem between Chrome and the web server built into python.

Over the last month or so, I noticed that requests from the same IP addresses or address pools, seemed to be crashing the explorers.

After some research I found that Chrome has a tendency to create a rather large amount of parallel connections and then proceeds to communicate on the second connection it created.

The python server gets stuck waiting for a response from the first connection, connections time out..pipes get broken...and so forth.

I will start working on using a different server mechanism for the explorers, possibly Twisted or Fastcgi.

If anybody has suggestions or would like to help, it would be greatly appreciated. The source for the PPC and FRC explorers are on github.

Well, that's pretty perverse, but all right, we should be multithreaded.

If you have any trouble with README-FASTCGI.txt (https://github.com/jtobey/bitcoin-abe/blob/master/README-FASTCGI.txt), I'd like to know.

Easier, though not as well tested: define a server class in abe.py:

Code:
from wsgiref.simple_server import WSGIServer
import SocketServer
class HttpServer(SocketServer.ThreadingMixIn, WSGIServer):
    pass

Then add the text in bold: httpd = make_server(args.host, port, abe, server_class=HttpServer)

There is also SocketServer.ForkingMixIn in case ThreadingMixIn gives weird errors.

I have seen a couple of posts and I have also had some issues with test nets on some of the alt-coins. I will put up some test net daemons on my sites as I see requests or as I see are needed.

The addnode command is flexible in the sense it will work for both live and test net. Addnode will attempt a connection and still try to find other nodes, unlike the "connection="  which is an explicit command to only connect to that address.


First up TRC:

I have started a test net daemon for TRC on the cryptocoinexplorer.com server.

add to your config file:

addnode=84.200.84.74

This will have your daemon automatically try the cryptocoin explorer server for a connection.I will keep the daemon up as long as it does not start to effect the explorer site itself.

You can also add:

addnode=84.200.84.76

That is the IP for my future alt-coin mining site (cryptocoinmine.com)I will run a TRC test net daemon as much as possible, at least until the mining site goes live.  ;)

Post by: dreamwatcher on March 31, 2013, 11:11:28 PM
Update:

Some may have noticed the explorers going up and down today, that was myself working to solve the major issues.

Some things behind the scenes have changed.

1. The database refresh is now completely separate from the explorers web serving.  I have set one instance of ABE for each coin to serve without updating (using the datadir = [] trick I read about in the ABE github. Thanks John Tobey).

2. I am using the blocknotify feature of the daemons to run a no server config of ABE to update the database whenever there is a new block on the network. The no server config exits once the database is refreshed.

3. I am now testing on the TRC explorer a pull request by dermoth for ABE, that allows ABE to recover gracefully from broken pipes. I had tried a variation of this pull request when I first put the explorers on github. Those changes are what caused the problems with generating a new database that I had to revert the first day. I am sure it was some change I did to dermoths' commit, so after some more testing on the live server, I will try the modified TRC explorer with creating a new database.

I am hoping by limiting the public facing explorers to reading the database, it will solve some of the deadlocking problems. I also believe by precisely updating the database only when the blocks actually change and then stopping the refresh process until the next block, will reduce the thread load and help keep things running smooth.

After more testing I will issue a commit on github with the changes and documentation to make it all work.


If these changes work out, the last major bug to squash is the TRC difficulty (0 nBits) bug. It appears that the difficulty issue is only a symptom and the real issue is ABE is putting a null block on the latest database block entry.

All the explorers and webpages are down.

It appears the issue is on the hosting end as I cannot SSH into either the Cryptocoinexplorer server or the new pool server I am developing.


I will post any updates here.    :)

Title: Re: PPC, TRC and FRC Block Explorer (WWW.CRYPTOCOINEXPLORER.COM)
Post by: dreamwatcher on April 05, 2013, 07:11:48 PM
Just thought I would give an update as to what is going on with the explorer and related projects.

1. dermoths' ABE pull request that I applied to the TRC explorer does much in the way of reducing explorer lock up. However, it does not completely solve the issue and the TRC explorer has locked a couple of times, but that is a big improvement. Hopefully this is no longer an issue.

2. I have decided the only way to correctly fix the issue is to run the explorers with a different server framework. I have tried to get it to run on the FastCGI framework, but I cannot get it to work correctly and it is probably  an issue on my part. Moved to FastCGI.

3. I have been working hard on the new pool. I have gained enough experience with  Pushpool, to use it for all the alt-coins I plan to support. I have been looking at Eloipool and I should be able to adapt it relatively quickly once the alt-coins move to a 0.8 BTC daemon base. Eloipool is written in python which I find much easier to code with then C. After experimenting with integrating front end components into Pushpool, I have found I really dislike C vs Python. :D

4. Through writing the front end of the pool from scratch, I have come to the decision to use Cherrypy as the server framework for the pool. I am currently working on the payout system, once that is finished I will most likely open the pool up with Bytecoin. This is not because of any kind of "coin loyalty" , but for the simple reason that it is probably the least mined of the current coins because of its newness. Besides, my "coin loyalty" lies mostly with PPC, as it was the first coin I started to do projects with.  ;)

TRC and FRC will be the second pools as they really needs some pool choices. PPC will come last only because of its popularity, I need to shake the bugs out and make sure of server capacity before opening.


5. My experience with Cherrypy has also led me to the decision to use it for the server framework replacement in the explorers. Moved to FastCGI instead

6. I apologize for the slow speed at which improvements and other projects are coming out. I am doing these projects alone, along with a wife, school and keeping enough cash flow through the business to keep everything going. I cannot remember ever pulling as many all nighters in my life as I have recently  :P



I am a bit sad to see doublec shutdown his projects in the alt-coin world. I can see where he is coming from as the production and upkeep of projects in this realm can be much more work then most people realize.

I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

I will try and get as much done as I can this weekend, although I have some "Honeydo" projects around the house to get done.  :D

Post by: dreamwatcher on April 06, 2013, 10:57:09 PM
This evening I finished switching the entire CryptoCoinExplorer site to use the FastCGI server framework.

Since the sudden up shoot of Alt-coins this weekend, I felt I did not have the luxury of time to completely switch over to a Cherrypy framework.

Now it is observe and tweak as needed......and chase down bothersome IP's that just make it slower for everybody... :D

Post by: dreamwatcher on April 08, 2013, 11:20:34 PM
So far so good, I have not had to unlock an explorer since the framework change. I only reset the web server once as I had forgotten to set the ppcexplore.org address in the server alias config.


I want to gauge the interest in seeing Novacoin and/or Bytecoin on CCE.

Both these coins already have at least one public explorer, so the decision to add them is going to be based mostly on the interest of CCE users through the poll.

It appears the actual drop started on block   101633. Depending on the alog it may have taken a couple of blocks for the difficulty to actually drop, even though the version cutoff may have been on 101631.

For example noted in the code:

Code:
If the new block's timestamp is more than 20 minutes
    // have to be greater than the max accepted time delta ; 15mins.
    // this way, if one would artificially increase block nTime to its max value,
    // we'd still take the 5mins periods without block before allowing a one-shot
    // diff decrase, later keeping the block time used for ema computation.

When I use: http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com:3750/q/getdifficulty

I only get:
Shows the difficulty of the last block in CHAIN.
/chain/CHAIN/q/getdifficulty

Someone please help.

The API instructions read:

Code:
Shows the difficulty of the last block in CHAIN.
/chain/CHAIN/q/getdifficulty

So the API command would look like:

Code:
http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:3750/chain/Terracoin/q/getdifficulty

That is the basic structure of all the API commands. One appends the url with  "/chain/<NAME OF COIN>/q/<API Command>"

The name of the coin is case sensitive,  Terracoin and Freicoin both start with an upper case with the rest lower case.

PPC is a bit different as I should have coded it like "PPCoin", however I do not want to change it now as it might break an application that has it set the current way.

For PPC use "PPcoin"


For more information on using the API, click the API link in the various explorers.  :)

Just a small update:

1. I changed the way database update process is called so FastCGI does not try and use those temporary processes to process web requests. This would cause slow response times due to the process being set not to serve and shutdown after updating the database.

2. Changed the way error logs are handled, I hope this will suppress those page long error messages, mostly due to the issue addressed above.

I guess since Bytecoin already has a block explorer there's a bit less demand.  But I've seen them lock up at least once.  I'm also mildly concerned that a lot of Bytecoin services (pool, explorer, exchange) seem to be concentrated in the founders' domain.

I guess since Bytecoin already has a block explorer there's a bit less demand.  But I've seen them lock up at least once.  I'm also mildly concerned that a lot of Bytecoin services (pool, explorer, exchange) seem to be concentrated in the founders' domain.

Well seeing as there is only 48 votes so far and the percentage of add both & add only Bytecoin come close to Novacoin only, unless there is a major surge in votes before the poll closes i will probably add both.

Though honestly the vote base is too small to be the major factor.

Any chance of bringing BBQcoin onboard?

Possibly, if I see enough demand for it.

If I keep adding coins, I am either going to have to upgrade the VPS or start a second VPS... :D

Current happenings in CCE world:    :P

1. Due to the low vote count in the last poll, I have decided to add both Novacoin and Bytecoin to CCE. The vote split between NVC only and BTE only/Both combined were close.

2. I have been asked to add BBQ coin to CCE both here and in e-mails.  I will more than likely add it after I add NVC/BTE and evaluate how the server handles the load.

3. I am going to need to update the home page as the table would get quite long with 6-7 coins listed. As you can tell from the wonderful design of the home page now.. ::) ..Web page design is not my strongest suit. At this time I am looking at a barter deal for page design for some coding on my part. If that falls through, I will be asking for volunteers to help with the home page redesign or perhaps start a donation fund to start a bounty to hire somebody.

4. I have noticed many technical questions on this forum repeated over and over with all the alt-coins. I enjoy helping people, however shortly after I answer/help somebody, the post tends to get buried quickly and the cycle begins again. I am thinking about starting a general technical alt-coin wiki that can be referred to whenever a question is asked that has been answered many times before. I would most likely put it on cryptocoinmine.com to avoid more traffic on CCE. CCM is not up yet in terms of web page/services.

5. Speaking about CCM, alt-coin pools are still on the short list, but my old friend http/front end design rears its ugly head. The pools would help greatly in funding the CCE site, allowing me to upgrade or even use multiple servers for CCE.

I will post more later..as I have more ideas/projects/news to share.    :)

The current explorers (PPC,TRC,FRC,FC) are back up.

I am working on a new issue with the new code and updating TRC. I will keep you posted.

I will get the NVC and BTE explorers up sometime today.

I want to acknowledge John Tobey, as he is still working on the ABE project and there are been some nice changes in the recent build (including using RPC calls to get transaction info for coins that are 0.8 compliant).

So when you Donate to CCE, please consider leaving him a tip in the tip jars on the bottom of CCE pages.  ;)

Ok , the PPC explorer is fixed.

Kind of nice having a copy of the main executable under a different name in the same directory.

I do this so when a database update is triggered (with Blocknotify), Fastcgi wont stick its big nose into the ABE process that is refreshing the database. The ABE thread that is updating the database runs under a different set of parameters, and sometimes Fastcgi grabs it or tries to use it. This will cause the user request to go off into never, never land as the refresh thread is set not to serve, only to refresh and shutdown.

I found the easiest solution was just to rename the abe.py executable that is called out with block notify scrypt, so Fastcgi will not even consider its thread fair game.

That should be it as I am done with using the PPC explorer as my "template"  :)

Bytecoin is now up on CCE.

Novacoin should be up shortly as I have narrowed down the address problem to the area where it is happening.

I will make a full announcement of everything once the Novacoin explorer is up.

Continue to alert me to problems, the quicker I know about them the faster I can fix them.

Thanks you for your patience, growing pains can be a pain in the arse.

I noticed that I changed the official name of the chain in the PPC explorer to "PPCoin" , whereas before it was "PPcoin".

Though this is a change I have been wanting to make, I have not due to the fact it might cause issues with applications that use the API until the name was changed in the application.

I was going to change it back,  but instead thought this would be the best time to change it due to all the other changes already happening.

For those having problems using the API in the PPC Explorer:

You will need to change the chain name to "PPCoin"

Example :

http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:2750/chain/PPCoin/q/getdifficulty

Any questions, feel free to contact me and I will help you as soon as I can.

Thank you

The CCE server is back, (Just as I was about to bring the second server up..... >:()

I had to take the web server down for a few to allow the explorers to get caught up and reconstruct the BTE database which got corrupted in the shutdown.

CCE was getting hit so hard by web requests that the explorers were having a hard time catching up with a days worth of blocks  :D


Anyway, I have the web server back up and I will keeps a close eye on it.

In light of what happened Friday(4/26), I have purchased a VPS from a different provider to act as backup. The backup server is fully operational and the databases are updated as if it were a running CCE site.

On the backup VPS, the web server is shut down.

If the need arises I can simply bring the web server up and change the DNS record for CCE to point to the backup server.

      args = (2014, "Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now")

The errors should be gone now.


After a bit of research I found this is a quirk of MySQL that can happen often if someone (Like me   :D) is accessing Mysql through the console while other processes are working with Mysql at the same time.

I just happened to be accessing the databases from console around the time you were getting those errors.

As I rarely directly access the databases through console, especially while the explorers are running, this error has not been noticed before.

Lesson learned, I will be more careful in the future and possibly switch to the back up if I need to directly access Mysql databases while the explorers are live.

QUICK GUIDE CCE API USAGE

All CCE explorers have an API for both utility and detailed information. The API is capable of both comma separated and JSON outputs with the nethash command. The exception is the Novacoin explorer, as it is based on an older version of ABE. Append “?format=json” to the url.

The API for any of the explorers can be accessed using the following patterns:

http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:<Port>/q/<command><options>

or
 
http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:<Port>chain/<Coin name>/q/<command><options>

Port = The explorer port for the coin you want to use.

PPC=2750
TRC=3750
FRC=4750
FC=5750
NVC=6750
BTE=7750

chain = The literal word “chain”, no need to change

Coin Name = Except for PPCoin,  Coin Name is First character upper case, the rest lower case. Example: Terracoin

q = literal “q”

Examples:

Returns the version encoded in ADDRESS as a hex string.
If ADDRESS is invalid, returns either X5, SZ, or CK for BBE compatibility.
/q/checkaddress/ADDRESS

http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:2750/q/checkaddress/PAYCKSPFGRUdWPyYt2pDs1WYXdPEkah9Qy


Shows statistics every INTERVAL blocks.
Negative values count back from the last block.
/chain/CHAIN/q/nethash[/INTERVAL[/START[/STOP]]]

http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:5750/chain/Feathercoin/q/nethash/100/1000/2000

or

http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:5750/chain/Feathercoin/q/nethash/100/1000/2000?format=json


Shows ADDRESS's version byte(s) and public key hash as hex strings separated by colon (":").
/q/decode_address/ADDRESS
http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:4750/q/decode_address/6xRWJA31C1p2fuZg8cT9Y9iwLAUb9ZeKUE



Shows the amount of currency ever mined.
This does not support future block numbers, and it returns a sum of observed generations rather than a calculated value.
/chain/CHAIN/q/totalbc[/HEIGHT]

http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:2750/chain/PPCoin/q/totalbc/40000


I hope this post gives enough basic information to allow one to figure out the API if they wish to use it.

Descriptions of all the functions can be found by clicking the API link on each every page or directly by simply using a "q" after the port.

Example: http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:2750/q

If I plug this transaction ID into bytecoin chain search:

9a450a3d2c252d18f058dc78321cc3ec872668ed7230b8cd5a862b95e7568f79

I see 10.0 BTE that went to 8KavvVegRXmYRUetYEEA1rMCrLjuZzmyrg (your BTE donation address).

But if I plug that address into search, I have been consistently getting "not found" for days.

This never worked until I searched by transaction ID.

Caching issue?

9a450a3d2c... 15216 2013-04-26 02:53:26 10 10 BTE

API (machine-readable pages)

I have gotten a few messages about searches that do not work over the time CCE has been up. This first thing to check, is to make sure you have no spaces at the beginning or end of the search term, as the search is white space sensitive.

Would people ever do searchs that have a whitespace in the middle of the search term? I tend to think of all searches being hashes and block numbers. If spaces should never happen, you could do a little script to remove them on submission. :)

You are correct..I will add that to the "list"   :D


I was also thinking about opening the backup CCE for site owners that use the explorer API on CCE.

I think this would be good for three reasons:

1. Free up traffic on the public CCE site, giving regular users a faster system, and site owners faster API response.

2. The public site is more apt to go down due to overload, malicious acts, or even unintentional bad queries. As only sites using the API would have access to the backup CCE, sites depending on CCE would not be effected in terms of a break in service. However, the backup site primary purpose is to make an easy switch over in case the primary CCE site goes down. So if the Public site goes down, i will switch the DNS of the public site to point to the backup site until the public site is back up.

3. I can cater the backup CCE site to the needs of API users and in the reverse tune the public site for regular users.

This is starting to look like an attack. The backup server (which is at the same same level as the primary), was knocked completely out within a very short period of time. CPU usage >200% and traffic so locked up I could not SSH into it.

On the primary server, all I have done is change all the passwords, and magically every works like normal. I have switched the DNS back to the primary and if it goes down again, I will have to keep both servers down until this gets sorted.  :(

Unfortunately the backup server is still a mess after the "strange" activities Monday night.

The down time should be short.... :-X

:::sigh::::  I try so hard to give you good service   :-[

Anyways all the coins are up on the backup server and the dns should propagate shortly.
Except for TRC, it will be up shortly, its database was a causality of the Monday night weird thing, attack , whatever.


Again the Back up server IP is 198.58.105.9 if you need to use it before propagation.

I am by no means permanently shutting down!!!

I have regrettably come to the decision to shut down for a short while. I need to sort out what is going in terms of the explorers. I feel as if I am being fought every step of the way.

Suddenly servers cannot take the stress, I am running 200%+ sometimes with CPUs. Network gets so jammed up I cannot log in to administrate the servers.

I do not know if this is an attack, or just symptom of growing bigger.

Either way, I have spent too many sleepless nights and I need to step back and decide what the best course of action is going to be.

The honest truth is that I cannot do anything about the servers going down at the moment, and it feels like I am bailing out a submarine with a screen door. As a matter of fact, even with the site pretty much unavailable, it looks like I am spiking at 400% CPU.

I WILL to be back up in a couple of days. I will still be around here, and look forward to any advice or ideas you may have.

That's it for tonight , I gotta get some sleep.

Robert

Run top to see which process(es) are using all of the cpu. Could be a ddos on the web server, could be some other form of attack (on the ssh port, mysql, etc). Might look at using cloudflare for dns since it can help with ddos. Sorry you are having such issues. :(

I am by no means permanently shutting down!!!

After some overnight thought, I have decided to go all the way in terms of CCE.

I have upgraded the main VPS to the maximum available from the hosting provider. The VPS is now has 2x the CPU and Memory as before.

I am going to put all my other projects on hold (save one, as others are depending on me), and make CCE the best it can be.

The "classic" CCE should be up and running soon.  CCE 2.0  is in the works   ;)

The  "classic" CCE is up and running except for TRC. I have to rebuild both the TRC Daemon and Explorer database, but it will be up soon.

DNS propagation is underway.


Use the main IP if you need info before propagation. (84.200.84.74)

I am having a bit of trouble with the Terracoin Daemon/database.

Abe is not Able to read the block data, even on a fresh Daemon database.

I am working on it, and I will keep you updated.

I did change the DNS record a bit ago, but it does seem to be taking a bit to propagate, It can take a few hours on occasion.

I will be starting a new CryptoCoinExplorer site in which new or less used coins will have explorers. I felt that with the explosion of new Alt-coins and the fierce competition that is going to ensue, that the established alt-coins need to be on the original CCE away from the rapid growth and chaos of adding the new coins. Once a new coin reaches a certain criteria, it will be considered for movement to the established coin CCE.


Title: Re: PPC, TRC, FRC, FTC, NVC, BTE Block Explorers @ www.CryptocoinExplorer.com
Post by: dreamwatcher on May 04, 2013, 11:36:13 AM
Some of the changes have been implemented to improve CCE.

CCE and CCE2 are going to appear as one site. I am moving to a sub domain based address rather then the port based addresses CCE uses now.

The first stage of this is done:

ppc.cryptocoinexplorer.com (http://ppc.cryptocoinexplorer.com)

 or

www.ppc.cryptocoinexplorer.com

Will bring up the PPC explorer. TRC,FRC,FTC,NVC and BTE already have the sub domains active.

The port addresses will still work with current coins, however they will no longer be advertised or be assigned to any new coins.

The second stage includes adding three more coins on a new VPS. The new coins will use the same sub domain system and will appear on cryptocoinexplorers.com home page.

Stage 2 is ready for testing.......

All explorers can be accessed by using the coins currency code (Exception for BBQ) + .cryptocoinexplorer.com

ppc.cryptocoinexplorer.com (http://ppc.cryptocoinexplorer.com)
trc.cryptocoinexplorer.com  (http://trc.cryptocoinexplorer.com)
frc.cryptocoinexplorer.com (http://frc.cryptocoinexplorer.com)
ftc.cryptocoinexplorer.com  (http://ftc.cryptocoinexplorer.com)
nvc.cryptocoinexplorer.com  (http://nvc.cryptocoinexplorer.com)
bte.cryptocoinexplorer.com (http://bte.cryptocoinexplorer.com)

New to CCE

bbq.cryptocoinexplorer.com  (http://bbq.cryptocoinexplorer.com)
btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com (http://btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com)
cnc.cryptocoinexplorer.com (http://cnc.cryptocoinexplorer.com)


The new additions are on a separate server, so there will be no impact on the performance of the first six explorers.


The next step is to design and publish a new homepage, with my wonderful web page design skills that are soo apparent with the current home page :P  :D :P :D

I took the web server down and am trying to sweet talk the postgresql database out of hiding.

More than likely I will open up a SQlLite database and put each coin a a completely separate database.

Then work on advanced fine-tuning PostgreSQL and MySQL, on my test  setup.


I do not believe most people understand the amount of resources these explorers take up (I know I didn't, until I started developing them seriously):) :)


I am tempted to skip the VPS and setup a real server in the office. I have the static IP and the bandwidth to do so, and plenty of hardware to build a kick ass server.  For now it is an option if things go completely sideways.

CCE is up on the new VPS and DNS appears to have propagated.


The TRC explorer was not updating on the old VPS due to a damaged database from the "issues" today, but is running fine on the new VPS.

For those who need to change CCE IP address (though I would highly recommend using the domain names) the new IP is 69.164.204.19

I will keep the old VPS running for a few days in case a few people still need it up.

The new VPS has more CPU/memory than the last, and I have much more control over its functions.  ;D ;D

No, its not that.

It simply is that LTC already has a few good block explorers and I would rather use my resources helping coins that do not have the resource base the LTC community has.

I see - thanks for replying!

PS: proposal : Add LTC/BTC links to external major block explorers - this way your page can serve as an entry page for all alt coin explorers.

Sometimes one needs this for quick comparison of different coin properties, like... what was the avg block generation rate for coin XYZ in the last 24 hours (e.g. ca. 30 minutes for FTC as opposed to the advertised 2 minutes...), ...what was the launch date of the coin, and other stuff...

I want to add more coins to CCE. The main issue now is resources.

Once I get done shifting all the current coins to the main VPS, I will need to upgrade that VPS to add more coins.

Since I started publishing block explorers with PPC, my costs have quadruped.

To upgrade to the next level VPS,  to add more coins, will double my current costs.

CCE has come quite a way since that first PPC explorer, and is now more stable and faster then it ever was. I do not want to go backwards in terms of quality, so my only option is to upgrade the VPS.

I did not start, nor do I continue to maintain, CCE for a profit. However, I cannot afford to keep taking larger and larger losses.

I could add advertising, although that is something I really do not want to do.

When I finish moving all the coins, I will decide what to do about adding more coins. Until then if anybody has any suggestions on how to deal with the rising costs of adding more coins, let me know.

I am trying to get to all the coins I can.

With my current VPS setups, I can house 8 coins per VPS (I could probably do a couple more, but I am happy with the speed and stability now).

I have 2 VPS dedicated to CCE now, which means I have 3 slots left before I have to add or upgrade.

I also need to do something with the home page , as it is becoming quite crowded.

I have also started up the cryptocoinmine project (Finally.. :D), to help finance all this.

I do not see a explorer for powercoin yet, (somebody please tell me if there is one), so that does make powercoin a higher priority.

In short I am considering all the coins, with those without decent explorers given priority.

Almost all the daemons have a rpc call for that now (getnetworkhashps).

I know your site and many other sites that use CCE for information do not run daemons.

However, on the surface it seems trivial to add an API command to grab that information, especially since the newer versions of ABE can directly access the daemon RPC to get the memory pool.

I will look into it and get back to you.  :)

Not all the daemons support the "getnetworkhashps" function.  :(

Post by: dreamwatcher on May 29, 2013, 12:28:41 PM
Is the same derived from getmininginfo?

Unfortunately not.

There are two issues that I need to deal with:

TRC,FRC and BTE, should be a relatively easy fix. I just need to drop in the getnetworkhashps  RPC command object and adjust for the different difficulty target times.


PPC,NVC and BTB are going to be a bit more complicated.

These coins have POW and POS blocks with different difficulty formulas, though I can get the current blocks POW and POS difficulty with getinfo, I have no way of directly getting what the POW target of a past POS block was. The basic hash rate formula ((Difficulty* pow(2.0, 32)) / timePerBlock), needs at a minimum an accurate average of difficulty in this situation.

The difficulty difference between POW and POS blocks is so great, that an accurate average of POW difficulty without knowing what the POW difficulty on a POS block would have been, makes this calculation using this formula impossible.

I have a couple of ideas to get around it:

1. Every new block triggers an update to the explorer. I could do a getinfo inquiry at that time and record the POW difficulty. Network hash rate could then be calculated from those records.

2.Find or figure out a way to get the POW difficulty from a POS difficulty.



I will continue to work on this today, and hopefully come up with an answer.

Post by: dreamwatcher on May 29, 2013, 03:53:35 PM
Update on the network hash rate API.

The way the Network hash rate is calculated between ABE (nethash) and the daemon (getnetworkhashps) are significantly different and will come up with different numbers.

The daemons by default only use the blocks since the last difficulty change.This cannot be used on PPC difficulty based coins, so those are out of this calculation. The number is hard coded and can be changed easily. However, I somewhat question the accuracy as the sample size can be incredibly small until some time has passed since the last change. I have also noticed that getnetworkhashps does not appear in the Bitcoin daemon, perhaps this is why.

ABE (nethash) uses an average difficulty over the interval set in the url. Once I have the POS/POW difficulty issue worked out, this will work great for the PPC based coins. I am also thinking of changing getnetworkhash explorer API I implemented yesterday on some coins, to one using the ABE(nethash) instead of the daemon getnetworkhashps.

What do you think?







Title: Re: CryptoCoin Explorer - Alt Coin Block Explorer. Now hosting 12 Coins!!
Post by: sal002 on May 29, 2013, 04:23:19 PM
I am more interested in relative hashing and perhaps nethash will get that as well.  For example, I want to see hash rate increases over the hour or so....I already have a PHP script to scrape nethash (as the json output seem to miss the nethash number), so maybe that is the more accurate way to go.

How about if the getnetworkhash API accepts two integers. Both for hours, one for hourly interval and the other for how many total hours.

Output would be a simple list of hash rates with no extra information (unlike nethash).

For example:

getnetworkhash/1/24

would give a list of 24 hash rates, 1 for every hour in the last 24 hours.

223345566
225676778
234455667
221334454
etc...

This gives the option of getting hash rates based on time rather then on number of blocks.

Perhaps a third option to determine if the calculations would be independent or cumulative with the proceeding hours on the list.


Note: Just an FYI to everybody, I have mentioned this before but it should be mentioned again.

Do not use nethash for hash rates on PPC based coins (POW/POS) as it will be highly inaccurate due to the difficulty differences between POW/POS. This is one of the issues I am working on solving in the design of this new API.

Progress on the networkhash api:

For now the improved api is only on the JKC explorer, i want to finish the time option before placing it on all the POW only chains.

Basic description:

Code:
Shows network hash rate every INTERVAL blocks or time in minutes.
/chain/CHAIN/q/getnetworkhash[/INTERVAL/START/?format=[list,json,tlist,tjson]]
All parameters in [] are optional. Default is rate over the last 144 blocks in the list format.
START equals how many blocks or minutes back from current block to start.
list and json use blocks. tlist and tjson use time.
Both list and json order from START to current.

The time function has not been implemented, it is next on the list.

POW/POS operability will be next after the time implementation.

Basically this api makes it easy to just get the network hash rate based on blocks or time.

For example:

http://jkc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/chain/JKC/q/getnetworkhash will return the current hash rate over the last 144 blocks.

http://jkc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/chain/JKC/q/getnetworkhash/100/1000?format=json will return the hash rate every 100 blocks for the last 1000 blocks in json format.


Both list and json are from oldest (START) to newest (current block).

The 1st patch is being applied tonight.

The time function has been pushed back, as some of the issues I am having could be solved in the same structure that will be needed for POS chains.


Code:
Shows network hash rate every INTERVAL blocks.
/chain/CHAIN/q/getnetworkhash[/INTERVAL/START/?format=[list,json,web]
All parameters in [] are optional. Default is rate over the last 144 blocks in the list format.
START equals how many blocks from current block to start. All formats order from oldest to newest.
Web is formatted in G/H (SHA-256) or M/H (Scrypt) with 2 places after the decimal.
Invalid entries default to the last 144 blocks.

This release will be for POW only chains. I have added a web format for easy web display. At first it was going to just be for the cosmetic changes planned for the explorers, but I thought the public could benefit from it.

Examples:
http://frk.cryptocoinexplorer.com/chain/Franko/q/getnetworkhash?format=web
Code:
17.76 M/H

http://frk.cryptocoinexplorer.com/chain/Franko/q/getnetworkhash/100/1000?format=json

Code:
[["46218698"], ["52446749"], ["52129851"], ["63051086"], ["62593642"], ["64144909"], ["47812886"], ["18733821"], ["16329848"], ["19283847"]]

http://frk.cryptocoinexplorer.com/chain/Franko/q/getnetworkhash/100/1000?format=list

Code:
46218698
52446749
52129851
63051086
62593642
64144909
47812886
18733821
16329848

Thanks for telling me, I have be busy applying the cosmetic patch I had not noticed.

It looks like ABE's Terracoin database is corrupted again. Ever since the last daemon update, once in awhile ABE gets stuck on "Incomplete block length".

I will rebuild the databases again, but if somebody has a suggestion as to why (especially since it is only happening with TRC), please let me know.

The Terracoin explorer will be down for a hour or so.

ALL THE EXPLORERS HAVE THE COSMETIC PATCH APPLIED

I hope everybody enjoys.

There is a slight delay when loading a coins home page due to the way it gets the network hash information (PPC,NVC and BTB do have this information yet).

I will start work on fixing that asap.

I would not know how to answer that question without sounding like I am begging...  :D :D

Anyway, now that the major patching is done, I can concentrate a little more on CryptoCoin Mine. The goal with adding pools to the mine is to get support for CCE through the pool fees. In this way miners can help without really costing them anything. I will start putting pools up soon.Right now there is only the JKC pool.  ;)

Hopefully if the pools catch on, CCE will become self sufficient.

BTC TESTNET Explorer is now up on CCE

The explorer is having some issues with the transactions in the difficulty 1.0 blocks. Are they some kind of new (or previously unused) script type?

Any information on what kind of transactions are in the difficulty 1 blocks would help me fix the explorer to understand them.

I did not know WDC did not have a block explorer.

I was also unaware that http://wdc.block-chain.net/ (http://wdc.block-chain.net/) pointed to CCE.

I originally took WDC off CCE (The first and only coin to be removed), because of the lack of support from the WDC community after putting it up.

When that happened, WDC had another block explorer so I figured the community had that block explorer and appeared to have little interest in CCE.

Now that I am aware WDC does not have a block explorer, I will put a WDC explorer up ASAP, tonight or tomorrow.

Well people have been asking about the removal since it was removed, if you had even tried to mention why it was removed sooner things might have been sorted out quicker ::)


Title: Re: CryptoCoin Explorer - Alt Coin Block Explorer. Now hosting 15 Coins!!
Post by: dreamwatcher on June 12, 2013, 04:48:31 AM
I just want to let the community know that I do read the requests to add coins to CCE, and wish I could honor all of them.

I see CCE as a place to gather information form a neutral source and I believe it is vital to the cryptocoin community.

However, I have a few issues to deal with:

1. I cannot continue to put coins on the homepage the way it is, there are too many coins on it as it is. I am trying to come up with ways to deal with the homepage crowding. Perhaps a tabbed view where every coin has it's own page. The home page could just list all the coins and their network hash rate and link to the coins individual page where links and basic information could be put, maybe even a coin developers statement.

2. RESOURCES. Every coin requires a daemon to be running and database updates every time a new block comes on the network for every coin, on top of the web traffic and API requests to have the explorer read and interpret database query's. CCE is spread over two VPS's now, and not cheapo shared website type hosting. To upgrade the VPS's to the next level would double my costs, which have gone up to around 8x what they were when I started this project.

I have been offered bounties or donations to put coins on CCE presently and in the past. While they are greatly appreciated, they do not go into my decision process on a very high level, most of the bounties and donations I have received when I put a new coin on CCE were for coins I had planned on adding anyway. One also needs to realize that new alt-coins are generally not worth all that much. This is not to say I do not enjoy getting them, but projects such as this have real costs involved with them on a recurring basis. This also makes me reluctant to take bounties or donations towards a new coin, how long do I keep supporting  a dead or dying coin on CCE before removing it. I do not like making that decision in the first place and if a community has given me a bounty it will make me feel worse.
I started CryptoCoin Mine to help with all this, and granted I have not put one of the established major coins on yet, but the reception has been luke-warm at best. I guess only time will tell if that project pans out.

3. Other projects and CCE improvements. I spend ALOT of time maintaining and trying to improve CCE on top of working on other projects with other developers. I honestly do not think anybody would believe me if I told you how many hours a week I spend total. Here is a hint: I recently finished my 2nd degree (Network specialization). When the Dean saw how many hours I put in, she waived the internship/coop requirement without question... :D

To sum up - I just wanted to tell the community that I am not ignoring requests to add coins. There are some issues to get worked out and decisions to be made in this new Alt-coin environment.

I am trying.

I have the solution figured out to both the POS/POW and having the option of using time parameters in the API instead of blocks if desired.

I have been so busy putting out fires the last few days that it keeps getting knocked back

I am going to really try and get it implemented this week. I need the API myself for some changes I want to do with CCE homepage.  :)

Post by: dreamwatcher on June 14, 2013, 04:26:06 AM
I have started phase 1 of the POS/POW getnetworkhash patch.

The databases are in place and the PPC,NVC and BTB explorers are collecting the POW difficulties of every block as they come on the network to be mined.

I would like to have 24 hours of data before activating the functionality of getnetworkhash on these explorers. The getnetworkhash API will not be able to go back further then when the databases were started and will automatically stop at that cut-off.



The next planned patch on the API is the ability to use blocks or time in the parameters.This will be a CCE wide patch, all the explorers will receive it.

Post by: dreamwatcher on June 19, 2013, 12:47:18 AM
UPDATE:

The last couple of days I have learned more about hash rates, difficulty, POW/POS and even more about how ABE works.

In the latest commit of PPC, Sunny has put a getnetworkghps RPC call into the PPC daemon. This call has no parameters and uses a 72 block exponential moving average to estimate current PoW block spacing.
In light of how far off my API implementation is compared to the numbers this new RPC call returns, I am scraping the current POS/POW CCE network hash rate API and will instead pull the hash rate from the daemon.
NVC and BTB will get a network hash API just as soon as their developers adopt the getnetworkghps RPC call or I patch the daemons myself.

To all other alt-coin developers:

I have noticed that many of the coins have not changed the getnetworkhashps RPC call to fit their coin and are still using the LTC parameters.

In bitcoinrpc.cpp:

Code:
Value GetNetworkHashPS(int lookup) {
    if (pindexBest == NULL)
        return 0;

    // If lookup is -1, then use blocks since last difficulty change.
    if (lookup <= 0)
        lookup = pindexBest->nHeight % 2016 + 1;

    // If lookup is larger than chain, then set it to chain length.
    if (lookup > pindexBest->nHeight)
        lookup = pindexBest->nHeight;

    CBlockIndex* pindexPrev = pindexBest;
    for (int i = 0; i < lookup; i++)
        pindexPrev = pindexPrev->pprev;

    double timeDiff = pindexBest->GetBlockTime() - pindexPrev->GetBlockTime();
    double timePerBlock = timeDiff / lookup;

    return (boost::int64_t)(((double)GetDifficulty() * pow(2.0, 32)) / timePerBlock);
}

Value getnetworkhashps(const Array& params, bool fHelp)
{
    if (fHelp || params.size() > 1)
        throw runtime_error(
            "getnetworkhashps [blocks]\n"
            "Returns the estimated network hashes per second based on the last 120 blocks.\n"
            "Pass in [blocks] to override # of blocks, -1 specifies since last difficulty change.");

    return GetNetworkHashPS(params.size() > 0 ? params[0].get_int() : 120);
}



In the lines:

Code:
 lookup = pindexBest->nHeight % 2016 + 1;

"2016" needs to be changed to the number of blocks between difficulty changes.

Code:
return GetNetworkHashPS(params.size() > 0 ? params[0].get_int() : 120);

"120" needs to be changed to the target number of blocks per day for the coin.


It would help your users and myself if each developer would change these parameters instead of patching all the coins on CCE myself   :o

Thanks for the useful info but patching this code would create a hard fork wouldn't it?

Also I'm not so sure basing the network speed on the last 24 hours is necessarily a good idea. To make a good calculation of what the difficulty needs to move to, using a block value that equates to maybe the last 1-2 hours is probably a better indication of the real network rate at any one time.

No, this would not be a hard fork. The function is completely optional and does not run unless called through the RPC, and has nothing to do with the creation of the block chain. One could remove it or make it return a rude gesture , it would not change the coin/chain itself in any way.

Yes 24 hours is the best indicator. It was the way the code was originally set up in the LTC daemon that all the new coins have forked from.

If one uses a couple of hours, plenty of anomalies can pop up due to normal variance. Nothing made that more clear to myself, then when I applied the precise difficulty accounting and averaging system I created to a couple of the explorers.

I am not going to argue with anybody about this, they are your daemons. Change them, don't change them. If a developer does not fix it, I will do it myself and your publicly available daemons can continue to be inaccurate.

Post by: dreamwatcher on June 20, 2013, 09:04:43 PM
PPC and NVC now have hash rates displayed on the chains page.

The hash rates are taken directly from the daemon. The explorers are also building a database of hash rates for users that want to calculate historical data.

The hash rates are refreshed and stored every block.

Once 24 hours of data is collected I will open up the getnetworkhash API to reporting past data.

For now the API only reports the current hash rate.

Code:
Shows network hash rate reported by the daemon.
/chain/CHAIN/q/getnetworkhash?format=[list,json,web]
All format parameters are optional.
Invalid entries default to web style output.

All the explorers are going to be moved to this system as the daemons networkhashps are patched or I patch them myself.

This system will also eliminate the question of accuracy and parameter settings using the getnetworkhash API. All data will be derived from the daemon, so perceived inaccuracies can be directed at the coin developers. In the cases where I patch the daemons myself, I am only changing the parameters to match what the coin developers have stated are the blocks between difficulty and the target number of blocks per 24 hrs.
Some coins will require a slightly different approach, mostly those with very short difficulty re target times. If the coin developer does not patch a proper solution, I will simply take an average difficulty over the number of blocks targeted per day and use it for a calculation.

Yes, but the IP address depends on the coin.

PPC,TRC,FRC,NVC,FTC,BBQ,BTE,CNC and BTB

addnode=69.164.204.19


DGC,WDC,FRK,JKC and GLD

addnode=50.116.22.43

If one is using Flagfox or similar tool, one can go to the coins explorer and get these and future IP addresses.

Just wanted to give the community a little preview of some of the changes planned for CCE.

It is looking more and more like a complete rewrite of ABE, probably so much so it will not be ABE anymore.

For coin developers, you will have API access to a large information box on your coins homepage on CCE.

One corner of the box would display the current client/daemon version number. Across the top line, you could activate a red headline for news needed immediate attention.

As it stands now the Home Page starts with the coin symbol and name as the headline. The network hash rate goes below it. The basic information on the last five blocks is next. Then two boxes of information about the coin. The basic side would have web links and the Tech. side would have  ports,trusted nodes, address version etc.

The developers box comes under that and at the bottom the donation information. Mind that is a  quick mock up, done in the forum window. There are going to be some major changes under the hood as well.

This is the home/default/search page every coin explorer is going to have separately. This is where the users will land whenever using CCE.Let me know what you think.

Some of the internal changes, or should I say a new block explorer  ;)

Dumping Fastcgi and using Cherry.py. One of the large advantages Cherry.py has over Fastcgi is the elimination of opening a new Python thread with every operation/request. This will make the explorer faster and lighter on resources. I also want to look into using Fastcgi/flup with Cherry.py. There are multiple ways to configure this and Cherry.py appears to be very flexible about it.

I am also looking at Mako templating.

At least at first, using PyMySql database API. I have found it to be very fast compared to the database API ABE uses. I also need to look at python Postgresql APIs and find the best one for this application.

With the current explorers there is too much interpretation of data with requests. I am sure Abe's developer had his reasons for storing data in machine friendly, close to the original data read from the block files. I, however, believe in the opposite approach. Why keep reinterpreting the same data over and over.
The new database structure will store everything in a human readable format. This will greatly reduce the number of tables and shrink the database.

The new explorers will no longer read and try to interpret the BLK files. I can get all the information needed from the daemons with a couple of small patches to the daemons. The main one being the commit/patch Balthazar uses on Novacoin to allow the daemon to look up and display any transaction, not just the ones in the wallet. The PPC and NVC commits (Thanks again Sunny and Balthazar) that allow the daemon to calculate network hash rates has been invaluable when calculating the split difficulty and targeting times of POS/POW.
The daemons in general give out much more information then in the past and I think the days of scanning BLK files are dying out.

I realize when first building a database, it will put a large amount of stress on the daemon. This is perfectly fine as I shut down web access when rebuilding databases anyway, and it is a rare occurrence  (For the most part  ;D  ). After the initial database build, the explorer will make a few requests, more depending on the number of transactions, every block as blocknotify is tripped.

The  purpose of the redesign is to make a lighter and faster explorer that only deals with information people need and stop calculating information people rarely use or understand. This will allow CCE to carry more coins using the current server(s) setup.
Secondary to my purpose, when the new explorers go open source, it will be very easy to adopt them to any coin. Because they get the data directly from the daemon there is no longer the need to try and tailor actual code to the block structure itself. Everything needed to make it work will be able to be done in the configure file.

Cosmetically, the sites will be separating the coins into the Home pages I mentioned above, completely solving the cluttering problem the home page suffers now. It also gives the appearance of a site tailored for the coin, as it will serve as an information center and another way for developers to communicate with the coin community's. The quick reference links and technical specs will help people out without having to hunt and search for these items.

Well, I have rambled on long enough, I will post as more information becomes available.




TLDR: A bunch of technical stuff and reasons for a ground up redesign of the explorers.

I just wanted to add, that I am not criticizing John Toby or the ABE project in the least.

John has been slowly moving in this direction himself with the reading of the memory pool to preload transactions.

What I am proposing was not possible until recently, and ABE has proven itself a cornerstone in the alt-coin community.  ;)


I am sure the John will improve/make a better version ABE that will give the new CCE explorers a run for the money, his programming skills are far more advanced then mine.

It's a problem of apache-mod-fcgid, but not fastcgi. Normal fastcgi implementation should reuse threads instead of restarting them.

Try nginx & spawn-fcgi, this should be much faster. Also, it has smaller memory footprint.  :)

I apologize for the downtime this morning.



I guess this is what I get when I decide to sleep in one morning.

The traffic and I/O pattern just before CCE server 1 went down follows the pattern that happens during an attack.

Add to the list of things to add during the explorer rewrite   :D

Anyway, all the explorers are back up.

I most definitely will.

My thoughts behind Cherry.py were along the lines of using a web framework/server written in the same language as the main application, might give an advantage.

The learning curve would be shorter also.

After some thought, it seems less likely the case and perhaps going with a more established framework/web server would be a better idea.

Can anybody suggest a GOOD guide to making dynamically generated web pages mobile phone friendly?

There are plenty of guides out there, but I would like suggestions from anybody who has had to use one and found it worked great.

I figure if I am going to build from the ground up, this would be the time to make the explorers mobile phone friendly.

WDC chain stop at June 22. seems something is down or not synching correctly. should have lots of block since that time at 15 seconds each.


the other explorer for WDC is also down so, I have no way to see the chain as I'm looking around at how clean the coins are this is on my list of check.


BTW great job for the explorer work great for other coins.

One feature I would like is something to help find orphan. where a block has 2 next.  an example for Bitcoin is http://blockchain.info/orphaned-blocks (http://blockchain.info/orphaned-blocks) this is where 51% attack can have occur and for ALT coin this is the most likely attack so anyone should be able to see it in the chain. (i can also see a simplified indication that just an icon when the next is multiple for a block and show the list of block as usual in batch of 20-50- with icon on those specific block ...) in fact should not have much when no attack occur or be in insta-mine mode.

Well, it looks like the same daemon error has popped up  before at this point:
Code:
worldcoind: main.cpp:917: unsigned int GetNextWorkRequired(const CBlockIndex*, const CBlock*): Assertion `pindexFirst' failed.

This is with a fresh git clone and compile today.

I will look further into it, but if it is a daemon problem i will need an official git source to clone and compile to fix the issue.

A question the the users of the APIs on CCE:

What if I were to make subscription service that would send a JSON request containing the information commonly used every time a new block comes on the network for that explorer.

For Example:

PPC has a new block on the network. This triggers a database update. How about if it also sends out to the subscribed, a JSON request containing the new blocks  height, difficulty, reward (when possible), network hash rate (again when possible) and other information determined by the dialogue here?

OR

Make it like a LP, where the explorer will send out a "ping" of sorts when a new block comes on the network and your sites can then request the information needed?

This would cut down considerably on the network "chatter" as no new information is available until a new block comes on the network and the explorer has stored the data.

Also, as mentioned above,  I also need to know what other information your sites use. Regardless of how and when the LP or auto send work out, I still want to make an API that will send the information commonly needed eliminating the need for multiple API calls.

I am for this - I assume I would need to have a callback script or something to accept the JSON push?

CryptoCoin Explorer III Development Updates.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=262539.msg2804427#msg2804427

I believe a separate thread is needed for the development of CCE III, as it is a large project not only in the sense of CCE, but as a new development tool for other developers.

I have put up a live alpha/beta of Explorer III.

This is a PrimeCoin Explorer.

-At this stage only the basic explorer is online, none of the extra features are active yet.

-Search function is not implemented yet, however the URL scheme is simple, and searching by hand quite easy.

-There are a couple of known bugs - for example the transactions on some blocks do not show correctly.

-Spent output field in the transaction page is not implemented yet

This is strictly a testing stage, so expect the explorer to be up and down as bugs are fixed and features are added.

More coins will be added to CCE as soon as testing and implementation of the explorer rewrite is done.

That being said:

Phase two of testing the new explorer design has begun.

http://cryptocoinexplorer2.com:5555

This version has all (I Hope  :D),the logic issues from test version one fixed and working for the basic explorer.

The address page is still limited to the running balance of the address. However, test version 3 is already well under way and it will have the full transaction history of the address available along with the "spent output' field on the transaction page. The search system should be in place (At most by test version 3.5), but manual searching can be done by simply observing the url addresses a bit and placing your own values in place of the explorer generated values in the url.

Test version 4 is slated to incorporate most of the 'frills' features on the Homepage of the explorer.

Test version 5 will be in the incorporation of the API.

The Feathercoin daemon crashed out again. I have restarted it with a lower max connections parameter in hopes of stopping this crash issue.

Also be aware that ABE calculates the difficulty somewhat independently of the daemon, so its number can be slightly different then the daemon.

For example the daemon reports: 193.94881043 right now, while ABE reports 193.951.

I am not going to make any major changes to ABE, as the CCEIII project eliminates this issue.

Sounds good.  Which reminds me - I need to figure out how to access CCEIII or, more likley, just switch to local daemons.  Have you figured out the API / commercial access and the cost?

Well, it looks I am having some major issues with Server 1.

Any coins on server 1 (PPC, TRC, FTC, NVC, BBQ, BTB, BTE,CNC,FRC) are going to be down for a bit while I sort this out.

I may have to upgrade the VPS to handle the load.

More information in a bit.

I will have more information on CCEIII API a little further along its development. Right now it is in the planning stages, until the basic explorer is completely tested and the final design is set.

If you have any kind of "Wish List" for the CCEIII API, please let me know. At this stage it is very easy for me to add to or change the design plan for the API.

Server 1 is backup again.

I had to ban some IP addresses that were hitting the server pretty hard.

If you have a legit service that uses CCE for an information source and you find your IP banned, send me a PM so we can sort it out.

CCE is really growing fast and a "perfect storm' seems to be brewing.

CCE3 is not ready for roll out and the two VPS CCE is currently on are having a hard time keeping up with the load.

I had planned to eventually move  all the CCE servers to a hosting service that can give me a better deal, but the details have not been worked out yet. Upgrading the current VPS(s) would be a large jump in operating costs.

So I took the middle path. I have purchased a VPS from the new hosting service for server 3. I will be moving coins over to that server to balance out the load.

This should not cause a interruption of service as once the new server is ready, I can just keep the coins running on two servers until the DNS record propagates.

I have set up block explorers for both UFC and KED.

They are being hosted on the beta test CCEIII platform.

the ABE based explorer would have required some re-working to use these coins. I am certainly not going to be modifying ABE at this point with the CCE3 project testing.

These coins also give me an unique testing stress that I needed. Because they are so young with low difficulty, there are plenty of orphans.

Orphans are one of the major things I am trying to test CCE3 logic with.

UFC:

http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com:9222/

KED::

http://cryptocoinexplorer3.com:9222/

The port addresses are needed until testing is over and I fully convert CryptoCoin Explorer over to CCE3 (which is based on Cherrypy rather then Apache)

Remember these are test explorers, so they may go offline or have bugs. Please report bugs to me.

The thread for the test phase of cce3 is:

The CCE3 test block explorers are back up. The reason for the issues  continues to be orphan blocks. This issue has plagued me since starting the CCE3 project.

Now for a little rant:

I have asked over and over for developer input on how to handle orphans. Even something as simple as an opinion on how long the daemon takes to realize it has an orphan block, correct the information, and start reporting the correct information.

Know what I got:

Crickets. Not a single answer from ANY developer. In fact, I have not gotten ANY advice from any developer. Sometimes makes me wonder why I am bothering. I put all this effort, time and money into the project and seems like nobody gives a crap.

CCE has been around a little over a year now, so the excuse " I have not heard of it" is a complete garbage.

--End Rant--

It is a good question.  Unfortunately my use of CCE doesn't care much provided their isn't an 'orphaned difficulty change'.   I say keep up the good work - yours are the only block explorers I trust.

Post by: dreamwatcher on September 17, 2013, 10:16:39 PM
The CCE3 test has moved to test version 3.98!!

The Primecoin explorer is now running 3.98. The other explorers should be switched over soon.

New in this version:

Complete database integrity and automated recovery system
Complete removal of all per coin custom coding in the modules.
General clean-up and tighter code. Started basic code comment documentation.

***Database integrity and automated recovery system****

I believe I have finally devised a system to squash those orphan critters.

1. There is now a 30 second delay between block height acquisition and querying the daemon for block/transaction information.
So far it looks to have improved the situation greatly, all the test explorers have been running that way for a couple of days. The only orphan to muck up the system was in the Primecoin explorer this afternoon.
This is OK, because the Primecoin test explorer is now running with 3.98 and it can now detect and squash those dam orphans with extreme prejudice.  :D

2.At first I was going to add a third module to perform integrity checks, but have since incorporated it into the dbloader module. The integrity check will not be on a cron tab, but rather will run every so many blocks configurable in the cce3 config file.
The integrity check compares the block hashes in the database (from the last check/back-up to present database height) to what the daemon currently reports the hash to be. If a non matching hash is found, it then triggers the orphan killer function..err..automated recovery function.  ;D
The recovery function drops and recreates the database with the last backup. The database backup is always clean as the integrity function only dumps a database backup if the database has all matching hashes to what the daemon currently reports.

The transaction function can also call the orphan killer..I mean recovery function, if a transaction input has a prev_out tx that does not exist (A transaction that is part of an orphan block).

The other advantage to this system is always having recent database backup, depending on how many blocks are set in the config file.


*Complete removal of all per coin custom coding in the modules.*

All custom code and coin parameters have been moved to the database. dbloader and the web server are now completely generic modules that can run any coin (In theory  :) ) without customization. The config file consists of four lines.

database name
database user
database password
Block count (Determines how often the integrity check is run)

Everything else is set in the utility table of the database.

Development should start becoming faster as the logic coding is pretty much finished and in late beta.

Next up:

One last major bug to squash. This is not a logic or coding bug, but rather a server set-up issue. If somebody requests a address ledger with a large amount of transactions (1000's) and then navigates away before the ledger shows up, the server gives a 107 error and basically needs to be killed by a level 9 kill. If not killed it will not serve any more connections and wait forever for the session to connect.
The ledger is very fast and only takes more then a second or two when dealing with extremely long ledgers. Even then it is rarely longer then 10 seconds or so.

Developers message box. The framework is in place and it should be ready with version 4. I will give access to this system as soon as it is ready to the developers whose coins are currently on the test server.

I still have to decide on how I want to handle market tickers. Each market has its own API and it looks like it could be a pain to accommodate. Perhaps I will need to get the information from some of the coin valuation sites that use CCE as an information source.

A few technical specifications on the project so far:

CCE3 consists of two python modules (dbloader and webserver), one config file and a database with 6 tables ranging from 6 columns to 33 columns (utility, which only consists of one row). There are also the normal web files: css, robots.txt and icon files.

The two python modules have a combined total of 865 lines of code(including white space). I set out to make CCE3 light and efficient and hope I have accomplished this goal.

Web serving is based on CherryPy and Apache2 using the mod_rewrite module. Apache serves the static files, while Cherrypy serves the dynamic content. More then likely this set-up will change, with CherryPy still being the prominent web serving system.


As I head into version 4 and look at version 5, I need site admins to start giving me thought on how you would the the API to work. Version 5 is all about the API.

The development cycle on Version 4 is expected to be short, so do not miss out on your chance to help shape CCE3 API.

hey thats my turn :) i am using abe API data on my new website http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/v2/coins/info
as you see some data are input manually and others are from the block explorer. it would be perfect to get some stats over time. for example difficulty, hashrate and coin amount of a specific day or hour. to make some nice graphs about it.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

People still using the old port addresses or the official explorer address and directly using the /chain/<coin> suffix will need to switch to the official addresses.

Official addresses are explained in the OP.

Once CCE3 goes live the port addresses will no longer work and the ABE suffix will be invalid.

The official addresses will continue to work the same as they do now.

I regret to inform the community that I will be removing CHNcoin from CCE.

According to that daemon, the explorer is correct with the last block produced on 9.17.2013.

Today I cleared out the daemon's data files and started fresh, just to make sure I was not on a fork and the daemon came back with the same block after a fresh build.

Code:
{
    "version" : 60400,
    "protocolversion" : 60001,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 59748,
    "connections" : 1,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 41.82101451,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1380735195,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "mininput" : 0.00010000,
    "errors" : ""
}

Code:
CHNCoin	CNC	59748	2013-09-17 14:49:35 

If the coin activity picks and and is sustained, I will consider putting it back on CCE.

UPDATE:

All the explorers are up and running.

Craftcoin appears to be having a issue with block notify. I will continue to monitor it.

The explorers may not be running at top efficiency as they are crammed onto 1 less VPS then normal. When the new VPS is set up, I will move some explorers to it.

This move will be more behind the scenes as I will not be pressed for time and can run two explorers for the same coin while the DNS switches over.

This move has really reminded me of how importance getting CCE3 finished. This move would have been MUCH easier with CCE3.


NOTE:

Some may notice that the old port addresses no longer work for some coins. This is intentional. I have been wanting to phase out the port addresses for some time. From now on, I will not be re-setting up port addresses for explorers.

The couple of explorers that still have working port addresses will be having the port addresses shut down at the end of the week.

Everybody should be using the current address system that has been in place for some time: xxx.cryptocoinexplorer.com (xxx being the 3 letter currency  code, with a couple of exceptions)

A few notes:

Explorers have been up and down today. The data center that contains my VPS(s) has been performing hardware upgrades. These were supposed to be Ethernet switches and not the sever hardware itself.
For the last couple of days I have servers restarted, passwords reset and servers imaged and reloaded. I had one server which added encryption (I did not ask for) using an old password.

I have been fixing these issues as they come, while at the same time moving and rearranging explorers, a project that I started Saturday night. As of now it appears the only issue is these dam server resets, which is a real pain in the arse for ABE based explorers. I cannot just script a boot up routine to start them. With the ABE based explorers, I have to change the coin daemon configurations to stop block notify. If block notify stays on I get an instance of ABE trying to update the database for every block the daemon is behind and finds, multiplied by the number of coin daemons on the server. This means 100's of ABE instances that will get stuck or zombie out along with all those database connections. Once caught up, I have to turn block notify back on and restart the daemon.So, startup on the ABE based explorers has to be done manually.

With CCE3, this issue is avoided entirely and can be scripted to restart on reboot.

I will continue to monitor and restart the explorers if servers continue to be reset. I am receiving no notification, so I have to watch them.

I apologize for the lack of contact when it comes to requests to add coins. I have to prioritize messages and e-mails or else I get nothing done.

I have made a few statements in the thread on this subject, but I guess it is time to repeat it again.

I am not adding more coins to CCE until CCE3 is in the production stage and CCE has been completely converted. I started the CCE3 project so that CCE could handle 100's of coins using the same amount of resources the ABE based explorers use now.

CCE3 is a project I have written alone and from the ground up. At this stage the Explorer is stable and I am working on the API. API development should be quicker as it is, for the most part, the same as the web server except with a JSON I/O vs. HTML.

I will be adding more coins to the test server as it comes time to hard stress test the system. I have a couple of coins lined up, but in most cases I have to pick based on activity in order to get a balanced view between lightly and heavily used coins.

CCE3 Thread:

So please be patient, I am working over 80 hours a week on everything. I want to deliver products that are outstanding and not just half broken,buggy garbage.

CCE3 is a project I have written alone and from the ground up. At this stage the Explorer is stable and I am working on the API. API development should be quicker as it is, for the most part, the same as the web server except with a JSON I/O vs. HTML.

I will be adding more coins to the test server as it comes time to hard stress test the system. I have a couple of coins lined up, but in most cases I have to pick based on activity in order to get a balanced view between lightly and heavily used coins.

CCE3 Thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=262539.0

I also have other projects I am working on that have deadlines to be met.

So please be patient, I am working over 80 hours a week on everything. I want to deliver products that are outstanding and not just half broken,buggy garbage.

Thanks for your valuable work.

CCE has the potential to become an important portal, in the same way as Coinmarketcap, and hopefully in a really high-quality way. Adding all possible CryptoCurrencies will be the way forward, and I fully understand your requirement to make sure that CCE3 is ready for that.

DGC explorer is dead, and has been for a few days, just generating a lengthy error output.

Actually fixed it yesterday, looks like the issue returned. Next I will attempt a complete database rebuild.

Looks like all the servers have been reset without my knowledge......again.

I am working on getting everything synced back up.

Well,

Here we go again, the VPS provider has not yet reset server 2 and I sent a ticket in around Midnight my time last night. One would think having 7 VPS would get some kind of service.

Looks like I need to find a new provider, but it is difficult to find decent hosting with myself shouldering the vast majority of cost. I will work on shifting explorers around and getting CCE back up overnight.

Unfortunately, my ticket to reset has not been answered.

I am going to get another VPS setup with another provider and get the explorers up asap.

The issue being that server 2 had PPC,TRC,DGC,FRC and BBQ. 2 of those coins have modified ABE explorers where the modifications do not work on the current version of ABE. 3 of the coins have very large block chains that take quite awhile to rebuild.I am unable to SSH into server 2 to retrieve the databases.

For expediency, I am going to set up the explorers effected with CCE3 test explorers as CCE3 is able to rebuild the database much faster. However this means no API for those coins.

Because of the dependency some sites have on CCE for the API on these coins, I will work on getting ABE explorers up afterwards.

A couple of the coins, may be incompatible with CCE3 (RPC command "getrawtransaction" available for all transactions is needed).

I will update as it becomes available

Update--

The PPC and TRC explorers are up and synced.

DGC,FRC and BBQ are up but the databases are still being populated.

They are not pretty, as I have not set up all the specialized HTML code, but they are functional.

I should have everything back to normal over the next couple of days.

Over last week and this weekend there were outages between the explorers.

I was moving all the severs to a new server cluster(s) as the clusters they were on were being decommissioned.

I have completed the move, and all explorers should be back up.

Over the next couple of months there are going to be some MAJOR changes in CCE and the income model.

Most, but not all, of the coins on CCE presently will be grandfathered in under the "donation model". Other coins will be dropped and re-added under the commercial model if somebody sponsors them. Before the pay-per-month model goes live, the entire site will be converted to CCE3 which will be ready as soon as I am done with the API.

New coin additions will start again as they are sponsored.

More information to follow.
