Title: Advise Some Opensource Block Explorer
Post by: ironfeast on September 26, 2018, 09:41:22 AM
Hi there, I am a student and a cryptocurrency enthusiast. Few months back I watched a video series on youtube who taught how to create your altcoin. The series was based on litecoin. I used it for my major project and my interest grew since ever. As per tutorial I used https://github.com/iquidus this explorer. But this explorer is showing wrong Total Supply. Can you suggest me some open source block explorer for my POW altcoin.

Help Needed and Appreciated.

Warm Regards

Bitcoin and Litecoin are not much different. I suggest looking at bitcoin's block explorers instead (most used): https://github.com/bitpay/insight

Since you might already have built a working block explorer, I think you should stick to what you are currently using as of the moment if you don't want more hassle. You can just fix the error(which is it showing the wrong supply) to make things easier. Nevertheless, follow the other suggestion above if you want to use bitcoin's block explorer instead of litecoin's.

It could be that your problem with iquidus (showing the wrong total money supply) is related to this issue:

In particular, maybe this answer can help you:

You need to change getmoneysupply to gettxoutsetinfo to get total circulating supply. "Getinfo" will only fetch you balance from your wallet.
