Title: Found a nice trick to force blockchain.info to show bech32 addresses
Post by: cellard on February 01, 2018, 03:32:38 PM
If you want to use blockchain.info but don't like that it doesn't show bech32 addresses yet, you can add "?show_adv=true" at the end of the txid and you will be able to see them. Example:

https://blockchain.info/tx/92785a57f6e9e9eb9d37a00e6e8be7f888376f65fa2b8f868db261cbf6cca7b0?show_adv=true

In some browser, if you don't add that it will still show this error:

Although everybody would rather prefer using a block explorer like BTC.com (http://btc.com) which supports bech32 addresses, this is a very nice loophole which displays bech32 addresses in transactions even though their wallets cannot be found on the explorer yet. I believe this to be a part of the advanced features which might hit the site during the next update since it is labelled 'adv'.

Not sure what you're doing wrong but it is displaying bech32 addresses perfectly fine for me on Chrome: LINK (https://gyazo.com/425db9195360b450e4712eebd6efce55?token=2dad11c60e8be2ed15e53d4b673094d2)

Looks like right when I found this trick, they added official support now, or at least im showing the bech32 addresses and im not enabling the advanced view mode thing next to the txid.

Well at least I discovered it shows spents and unspent outputs if you enable that, which is useful.

But notice that if you try to click on the addresses, they will not show up. If you want to do that, you'll have to use another explorer, for example:
