Title: Building a block explorer in node.js
Post by: Anonymous Kid on May 29, 2018, 03:37:02 PM
What is the best way to go about this?

Should i just run a full node server side and then make rpc requests to localhost to get info?
Or do i need to design a whole database and write the blocks to a specialised file somewhere?
