Title: What more can the Block Explorer do?
Post by: ThePiachu on September 29, 2011, 05:35:34 PM
I`m considering writing my own Block Explorer to gain some experience with Bitcoin network communication. This is why I`d like to ask all of you - is there any functionality you would like to see in a block explorer that is not yet implemented in http://blockexplorer.com/ ?

You should implement a firstbits address directly into the blockexplorer page for each Bitcoin address.

I'd like to see zero confirmation transactions

You can see these at bitcoincharts, but another source would be good.

Yeah, just saying it doesn't hurt to have more including it!

Okay, thanks for your suggestions, definitely will think about those when implementing the block explorer.
