Title: What are some good altcoin block explorers that show confirms?
Post by: snarlpill on July 23, 2014, 07:24:24 PM
Hey everybody,

From trying to do a little bit of exchange arbitrage, I like to know how many confirms I have between deposits and withdrawals. All of the altcoin block explorers I've found so far show addresses, transactions, everything; but not how many confirms there have been. Case in point this time, my USDe transfer, transaction seen here: http://altexplorer.net/tx/c2f8ab2f03a5aceec3aebb719d4c84a13c7506b84377335d96625343d8c51692    But no confirms listed? Does anybody know of any that show number of confirmations?

Thanks

Related: I was transferring some REDD from Cryptsy to Poloniex the other day, and I didn't know that Polo. usually required 600 confirmations before crediting a REDD deposit. I thought 600 confirmations was crazy, but it turned out that it needed a whopping 2000 confirmations before they credited the deposit. I found several REDD block explorers, but none of these listed number of confirmations either, so I was in the dark for about 24 hours while waiting for the deposit to clear...

I guess it's because Reddcoin had been experiencing some double-spend attacks recently, so they were probably doing 2000 confirms for safety, but still I feel like they should at least have had that noted somewhere...
