Title: Bitcoin Explorer disk space? Post by: makeholer on December 06, 2018, 01:06:22 PM Anyone here developed an Bitcoin (no altcoins) explorer?
I'm trying to store all the data (360million transactions) on MongoDB using https://github.com/norestlabs/mousexplore-vcoins/ but it will need around 3 terabytes of space and I'm not sure if it is reasonable.

A database-free one (https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer), but I doubt it has as many features as the others. Or also BlockCypher's (https://github.com/blockcypher/explorer) and Bitpay's (Insight) (https://github.com/bitpay/insight/).

I think any database-free will be very slow. I'll give BlockCypher a try. Edit: Just installed BlockCypher and discovered it is a front-end only source, it doesn't store anything, just make the api calls to blockypher database... Title: Re: Bitcoin Explorer disk space?

Not sure what you mean by saying its very slow. I just tested out Insight on Bitpay's official website and its working really fine, not slow at all... Maybe its something on your end. |
