Title: Bitupper BTC Block Explorer | SegWit support (bech32)
Post by: Dayofswords on October 25, 2018, 11:04:31 AM
Greetings, Bitcoin Community.

We have launched new and more functional blockchain explorer
 Try Bitupper Explorer for yourself at
https://bitupper.com/en/explorer/bitcoin (https://bitupper.com/en/explorer/bitcoin)

Bitupper Explorer is live and you are welcome to use it and enjoy its simplicity, speed and functionality.

SegWit full support
Bitupper Explorer fully supports SegWit addresses, or in other words - bech32 addresses. We were somewhat reluctant to promote it widely and we thought that it wouldn’t be a big deal, but it actually is. Bitupper had the support of SegWit starting from the day it was introduced.

Since the introduction of SegWit in 2017 for BTC not many block explorers actually made the update to support SegWit. But now, when SegWit addresses are being used more and more, the need for an explorer with support of bech32 addresses has grown too.

We are proud to announce that Bitupper is one of the few explorers giving users SegWit support making Bitupper one of the most advanced and up to date explorers on the market.

Multi-language support
Apart from multi-currency support Bitupper Explorer is also multi-lingual. So far you can switch between English, Russian, Spanish, Ukrainian. Many more languages are to be added really soon.


We welcome your feedback!

Code:
Error 1005 Access denied

What happened?

The owner of this website (bitupper.com) has banned the autonomous system number (ASN) your IP address is in (12345) from accessing this website.

My IP is banned.. Seems like you have cloudflare configured to block every VPN/Proxy?

You might want to reconsider that? That's a lot of potential traffic being lost for no reason really.
(Or not,  :P, it's up to you really. I won't mourn about it.)

bookmarked!
I've missed bech32 support on the explorer i usually use (blockchain.info), this one looks nice.
A couple questions/remarks:
- It might be nice to be able to export the tx hex.
- Is there a need for a "search result" page when looking up addresses, transactions,... IMHO it would be "nicer" if you'd immediately show the page with the transactions funding the address i was searching for, or the overview page for a certain transaction.
- It might be a good idear to show the address's public key once unspent outputs have been spent (since you don't know the public key beforehand)
- since you're running a node anyways, it might be a good addition if you added a page where people could broadcast or decode signed transactions
- is there an api available (to lazy to look around on your site)
- if you try to sign up, there is a russian placeholder instead of an english one: "AДPEC ЭЛ. ПOЧTЫ"

Thanks for your feedback!
1. Exports are coming and even more - filters and etc. Will post update when it is ready.
2. Search result - yeah working on it. it will send to the address page without the search result. Update for that will be made in couple of days.
3. Will consider showing the public keys when outputs are spent. Thanks for that idea.

I just do quick check and i have few thoughts :
1. Sometimes text "Nothing was found for <bitcoin address>" appear for few seconds before replaced with search result.
2. Sometimes text "Nothing was found for <bitcoin address>" appear even though the address is exist if i don't include " " (space) after address on search bar.
3. Address page showing wrong address statistic. This only happens once & when i refresh the page, it gave accurate statistic.
4. Would be great if there's built in OP_RETURN decoder where user can choose decode format.
5. You might want to add Bitcoin testnet explorer.

p.s. i check most feature with this address 1DybCk14s9xVTe4ieRWpm8uj2hDYt6cyjg

My IP is banned.. Seems like you have cloudflare configured to block every VPN/Proxy?

Looks like no since i access the website using Tor. I bet it happened because cloudflare attempt to determine if it's human who use Tor isn't perfect yet.

Thanks for the feedback.
1 and 2 - search is going to be updated in a couple of days. There is a small issue with that.
3. this probably happened just once with your address. but will look closer to see if this issue persists.
4. OP_RETURN decoder will be added soon. The founder is working on that.
5. Bitcoin testnet will be added in a month or two. We had that before in 2017, will add it back.

Thanks for the address to test the features. Will return with more updates soon

I am assuming there are quite some vulnerabilities in your application. You might want to check your application for basic attack vectors.

For example: You should check each parameter given to you before you application proceeds.


https://i.imgur.com/hEmKCmn.png



In this scenario your application should either (1) give an error message or (2) return to the main page.

But definitely NOT querying something in your database, giving me a litecoin address.


I would suggest you take your website offline and look through your code extremely carefully (or hire someone to do this).
Some malicious actor could probably damage your database.

This was just the first thing i have tried to catch your application off guard. There is probably a lot more possible..

There is no security vulnerability. Thanks for pointing out. It will be fixed today

You can never be sure that an application doesn't have any vulnerabilities.

Usually EACH application has vulnerabilities. The question is just whether they are being found.
And without even checking the parameters, i am sure you did more 'mistakes'.

In your case i guess there isn't much an attacker could do (except for damaging your reputation through some kind of unusual behavior of your application and downtime).

But since your application doesn't handle sensitive information, i guess that not important (at least from the view of a regular user).

Yep, it seems to be working now using a VPN. Site looks pretty clean.

However, what am i doing wrong here?


https://i.imgur.com/xxuL9bN.png

I'm 100% sure that that is the right adress..

Seems like no adress is working?

The last block you indexed is https://bitupper.com/en/explorer/bitcoin/blocks/1515413, but when going to this link it redirects to Bitcoin Block # 323809...?

Same goes for

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1G4nDQQ8C66u1jaPHDfSca3LW995A5GecG

Seems like there are still a lot of errors.

Someone is trying to DDOS the database. And that is why you can't get a proper response for the addresses you are trying to reach. The issue has been fixed

Check again. All has been fixed for the address you were searching.  https://bitupper.com/search?q=%20bc1qmqz93sjvdxdnnacplrgn0lzun05tzjumklnlnp (https://bitupper.com/search?q=%20bc1qmqz93sjvdxdnnacplrgn0lzun05tzjumklnlnp)

And for the block number - it is an element of design to show the chain, the block wasn't created in the network yet. But it shows in the interface. Will fix the design too.

Many thanks for your feedback

Post by: leowonderful on October 25, 2018, 08:12:35 PM
Besides the lack of chronological order, there's no options to sort transactions by amount received or sent, which is a useful feature that I see isn't implemented here. I've been looking for a bech32 BTC blockchain explorer for some time, and I'll likely use this until other platforms upgrade their services to read bech32 addresses, but this is an issue I see straight off the bat.

On the topic of transaction ordering again, it seems there are some streaks of properly ordered transactions, then the next few will be nearly random dates.

Working on the sorting options and even more useful features, such as filtering and export. The timeframe is about 2 days for the update. Will keep you posted when we finish. Thanks for the feedback.

And the ordering issue is being fixed as well

4. Broadcasting of signed transactions will be implemented in Bitupper Wallet, which is being developed as well. We plan to launch the wallet in 2 to 3 months, testing it now. Will support BTC, BCH, LTC, DOGE at the start and add more coins as we develop.
5. API is not available yet. But it is coming soon too, with lots of features and options.
6. Sign up option has been switched off for now, since we are developing an SSO for the whole ecosystem, which will provide great usability. Thanks for pointing out the placeholder. Will fix that.

Thanks for your full feedback. Feel free to share the ideas. We want to make a great product for the community to use.

Bitupper Ads affiliate partnership announcement

Become Bitupper Partner and start earning additional revenue on your traffic.
Bitupper is inviting partners: crypto exchanges, wallets, bitcoin faucets, analytical websites and all others services using data from block explorer.

Bitupper Explorer is launched for BTC and LTC (more coins are coming soon)
BTC - https://bitupper.com/en/explorer/bitcoin (https://bitupper.com/en/explorer/bitcoin)
LTC - https://bitupper.com/en/explorer/litecoin (https://bitupper.com/en/explorer/litecoin)


2 options to start earning with Bitupper:

1. Become Bitupper partner: earn 10% affiliate ad revenue on the traffic from your resource. This option is suitable for those who already uses any block explorer in their services.

How it works: Start using Bitupper Explorer in your services by linking the users txs to Bitupper.
The starting cost of CPM on Bitupper Ad network for advertisers is 5$.
Bitupper Partner gets 10% that is 0.5$ for 1000 impressions on the traffic sent to Bitupper.

Let's say you use blockchain info, for instance. And when a user withdraws BTC on your exchange a link with their tx is created that leads to blockchain info. That is how blockchain info generates traffic, and runs ads on that traffic. Bitupper, on the other hand, shares the ad revenue with partners. It is a win-win solution for the partners since now you don’t earn any revenue on this traffic now anyway.

So when you switch to Bitupper Explorer you will get additional ad revenue from the traffic you produce. Bitupper Partner gets a dashboard and a partner account where all the traffic can be monitored with revenue calculation in real time.

EXCLUSIVE OFFER FOR EARLY PARTNERS:
For the first 10 Bitupper partners:
- 30% ad revenue for the first 6 months,
- 20% ad revenue for the next 6 months,
- and then it goes to 10%.

For the next 20 Bitupper partners:
- 20% ad revenue for the first 6 months,
- 15% ad revenue for the nex 6 months,
- 10%.

For the next 50 Bitupper partners:
- 15% ad revenue for the first 6 months,
- 10%

Note: the first month of the partnership will be set as a test period where we track your performance as a partner. All the traffic in the first month will be included and the revenue will be available in the second month.
 

2. Become Bitupper agent: Find and connect partners for Bitupper to receive 2% of the ad revenue generated from the traffic your partners produce.

How it works: The starting cost of cpm on Bitupper Ad network for advertisers is 5$. Bitupper Agent gets around 0.1$ for 1000 impressions from the partners traffic connected untill the partners generate traffic and it earns revenue.
