Title: To what extent is blockchain.info's code open-source ?
Post by: davout on February 06, 2013, 07:56:56 PM
Is it 100% open-source ? Or are there only parts of it freely available ?

There's this repo : https://github.com/zootreeves/blockchain.info

But I'm unsure of what exactly it contains and the license this code is released under.

That isn't the complete source code, I think that is setup so people can verify the javascript on the site, to make sure no one tries to steal there password and id.

It's the entire client side part of the wallet basically.

Their server side code is closed source afaik.

Alrighty. Thanks for the info.

I was looking at various options to set up some sort of block explorer clone, having a built-in wallet would have been a plus but it's not that important.

I wish bitcoinjs was maintained, looking into ABE too.

Feel free if you have suggestions.
