Title: Any hints for building a slim blockchain explorer? Post by: fancyDog on July 18, 2014, 08:16:54 AM I am currently doing a project which is required to refer to the transactions of some specific addresses which would allow me to get the unspent transactions of the those addresses. I have evaluated some of the blockchain explorers, however, they are too heavy to me since I don't need the whole blockchain.
I don't prefer connecting to the API that currently available online due to stability reason so I am thinking to develop a very slim blockchain explorer for this which I can call locally. Do you have any hints/suggestion for me so that I can refer to? Thanks a lot. Title: Re: Any hits for building a slim blockchain explorer?

If its like that, then yeah, you wouldn't need the whole blockchain, but otherwise you do need it.

what I am actually doing is to generate an address in runtime and starting from then, coins will be deposited to this(these) address(es). And so, I could make an assumption that there is no transaction related to this address in the previous blocks and I can capture the blocks starting from the time when I generate the address. So I think I don't need the whole blockchain. Title: Re: Any hints for building a slim blockchain explorer?

Does anyone know how it works? I am thinking if I can leverage it. |
