Title: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: GazetaBitcoin on November 01, 2019, 08:12:28 PM Disclaimer: this topic was created by 1miau. However, at our joint request, on Dec 18th, 2023 theymos changed the ownership of the topic to me. This information was also confirmed by 1miau here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197909.msg63347474#msg63347474)
I've collected some of the most famous Bitcoin block explorers including a column for supported features like displaying native SegWit bech32-addresses or giving the possibility to identify an outgoing transaction from nested SegWit P2SH addresses. Finally, I've rated them from my side how useful each block explorer is. The better the rating, the more detailed the explorer is. Bitcoin block explorers *:
*After evaluating our table layout, we have analyzed a few changes and after doing a survey (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5441232.0), we have agreed to implement these changes (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5441232.msg61896252#msg61896252). You'll still find our old table layout here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197909.msg63509216#msg63509216). **BTC addresses starting with "3" what are they ? simplified explanation. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5133475.0) ***You can hover your mouse over each score and a sign will pop up, where you'll see some comments brought up by members suggesting each Block explorer. Hover format for comments was suggested by SFR10 here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197909.msg61792494#msg61792494). ****Some elements are not showing or working properly, but mostly works fine. PrivacyG has made a list of all Block Explorers above working without Java Script. You can find PrivacyG contribution here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197909.msg61773530#msg61773530) to find out more about it. Removed Blockexplorers All Blockexplorers which were removed from our list.
I've included a poll and if you want, please leave a vote which block explorer is your favorite one. Everyone will have 2 votes, you can revise it at any time, like when the block explorer makes changes and features are removed / added or when it goes completely offline.

Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: Saint-loup on November 01, 2019, 08:22:24 PM I'm sorry but my favorite one is not mentioned in your list.
Personally I like using https://btc1.trezor.io/ because it manages zpub keys. So it's more convenient for tracking the transactions of your segwit wallet. Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: TryNinja on November 01, 2019, 08:23:48 PM Didn't Blockchain.com start supporting bech32 addresses this week?

Ok, yes looks like Blockchain.com added bech32 support after I reviewed it in september (I created the list a few weeks ago in the German section and didn't check all the entries again, so I've noted a date when I reviewed the block explorers): Example: https://www.blockchain.com/de/btc/address/bc1qar0srrr7xfkvy5l643lydnw9re59gtzzwf5mdq It also says: Quote Format BECH32 (P2WPKH) Edit: found the thread about this: after 2+ years blockchain.com explorer finally supports bech32 addresses!

@1miau you say btc.com identifies segwit addresses just because "witness" is written in the tx input scripts? If it's only for this reason, it's almost the same for Trezor explorer, it displays the scripts and you can find this kind of thing "txinwitness".

Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: notblox1 on November 02, 2019, 12:44:25 AM Nice list of explorers.
I also use this bitcoin explorer: https://btc-explorer.com/ Do you know any bitcoin explorer that have notifications for transactions (something similar like etherscan.io)? Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: 1miau on November 02, 2019, 01:21:02 AM Nice list of explorers. Unfortunately, the explorer doesn't work for me, it's showing "no transactions found": I also use this bitcoin explorer: https://btc-explorer.com/ https://i.imgur.com/GZpKKLe.jpg https://btc-explorer.com/address/1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa Do you know any bitcoin explorer that have notifications for transactions (something similar like etherscan.io)? I've never used it but Blockcypher.com seems to have such features: https://live.blockcypher.com/highlights/Quote Address Notifications - Subscribe to email notifications on your crypto addresses. Great for monitoring your cold storage or incoming payments.

That is what I was looking for some of my addresses. I am not sure why btc-explorer.com is not working now, maybe it has to do something with last update Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: Lafu on November 02, 2019, 01:43:10 AM Same here i have tryd a diffrent bitcoin adress and it dosnt work or showing up something .
Maybe there is something broken or dosnt work as it should , dont know exactly. And nice thread by the way 1miau , awesome as always ! And here is another explorer https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/explorer/ (https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/explorer/) https://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer (https://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer) Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: GreatArkansas on November 02, 2019, 02:28:44 AM Another one is: https://www.blockonomics.co/
The user interface of this block explorer is superb. Very simple and really fast to navigate anywhere once you already in the site, like for searching wallet addresses' transaction or any transaction searching. I only admire this block explorer because they support segwit native bech32 wallet addresses, the addresses that starting with bc1, because some block explorer still don't support these kind of addresses and also P2SH addresses and legacy addresses too. Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: 1miau on November 02, 2019, 02:43:38 AM Same here i have tryd a diffrent bitcoin adress and it dosnt work or showing up something . Yeah, maybe the problem will be fixed tomorrow or in a few days. Maybe there is something broken or dosnt work as it should , dont know exactly.

If you do so I'll include them in my list and link your comment. You can use the following code: Code: [table] Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: Lafu on November 02, 2019, 03:05:54 AM
Will add the other tomorrow when i have time for , hope this format is ok for you ! Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: pooya87 on November 02, 2019, 04:33:11 AM i suggest adding a new column about their API and whether that also supports bech32 addresses or not. most of them don't last time i checked. https://www.blockonomics.co/ and https://btc.bitaps.com/ do support it to my knowledge.
there is also blockstream which i don't really like since i can't access it without a VPN!!! but it is good since they support all kinds of scripts and the details button show you the script type and the OP codes.
Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: joniboini on November 02, 2019, 04:55:54 AM there is also blockstream which i don't really like since i can't access it without a VPN!!! That's weird, I don't remember them blocking users from specific countries. Or is it because of your ISP? They also have a tor link if anybody wants to increase their privacy. Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: yazher on November 02, 2019, 12:09:35 PM Have you tried this one? this is a 3D Block explorer I don't understand how to use it. But if you see the Demo video, it looks cool.
https://blockchain3d.info/assets/images/b3d-feature-flow.png This is their official site: https://blockchain3d.info/ you can also look there on how to use it. Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: hugeblack on November 02, 2019, 01:06:28 PM I think a reclassification with such ratings would be useful for beginners.
I do not know if these explorers are suitable for beginners but it is an addition: Explorer by history: https://oxt.me/: This explorer helps display dates for transactions at a given time (You can track the change in balance in the form of timelines charts.) Self-Hosting: https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer: You can use it using the Github page.

I hope the idea is clear.

Reporting on right side as 'Errors1' Looks like it is using blockchair for that: "Your IP address is temporary blacklisted due to exceeding usage of API resources. Please apply for an API key by contacting us at info@blockchair.com..." Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: 1miau on November 02, 2019, 07:53:53 PM
Will add the other tomorrow when i have time for , hope this format is ok for you ! But that's up to you. ;) Your other one:
Still need a rating but it's horribly slow... ^^ And has no bech32 supported. i suggest adding a new column about their API and whether that also supports bech32 addresses or not. most of them don't last time i checked. https://www.blockonomics.co/ and https://btc.bitaps.com/ do support it to my knowledge. Good idea but that would exceed the size of my table and in general I thought more about a simple table for Beginners + Help. If you want, you can copy parts of my table and create a technical version in Technical Discussion including also some known issues like displaying the accurate fees, since quite a few sites are confusing sat/byte and sat/vbyte (at least the last time I checked). Like Blockchair.com is giving a very detailed list for that. It's very useful, but that would be too much for my table. AFAIK Blockcypher added bech32 support a few days ago: https://blog.blockcypher.com/blockcypher-adds-bech32-support-f7d236a586fd Quote All BlockCypher APIs that use addresses including the address API, transaction API, webhooks, etc. for bitcoin, bitcoin testnet, litecoin, and BlockCyphers testnet now support Bech32... there is also blockstream which i don't really like since i can't access it without a VPN!!! but it is good since they support all kinds of scripts and the details button show you the script type and the OP codes. I detected that site one year ago but forgot it's name, so many thanks for the reminder.
Why such a bad rating, only because it's not accessible from your country? :D I liked the site very much when I detected it, I'm not even sure why I forgot about it. Have you tried this one? this is a 3D Block explorer I don't understand how to use it. But if you see the Demo video, it looks cool. Wow, never heard from it but it's really impressive. https://blockchain3d.info/assets/images/b3d-feature-flow.png This is their official site: https://blockchain3d.info/ you can also look there on how to use it. I'll create a new category called "other interesting sites" for sites that aren't really blockexplorers but related to it (I didn't try too, but it seems more like a visualisation software, not like the common block explorers.) Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: 1miau on November 02, 2019, 08:06:19 PM I think a reclassification with such ratings would be useful for beginners. No problem, I'll list them as "other interesting sites" like the one yazher suggested (and include them without rating), since oxt.me is rather an historical tool to analyze addresses. I do not know if these explorers are suitable for beginners but it is an addition: Explorer by history: https://oxt.me/: This explorer helps display dates for transactions at a given time (You can track the change in balance in the form of timelines charts.)

Code: [table] It'd be great if you could mention features for each blockexplorer which stands out, such as basic transaction analysis on https://www.walletexplorer.com/ (https://www.walletexplorer.com/) Yes, I'll try to use the last column (comments) in my table to describe special features. (if enough space is left)Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: Annisa_crypto on November 02, 2019, 08:53:48 PM I personally used this explorer-https://www.blockchain.com/explorer (Which is so useful)and it is very convenient for me to check all my transactions.
Also, you can use these explore as well- https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/ https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/ https://explorer.viabtc.com/btc Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: notblox1 on November 06, 2019, 11:15:08 PM @1miau
Looks like everything is working fine again with this explorer: https://btc-explorer.com/ Just tested it few times, and all is good for me. Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: 1miau on November 07, 2019, 02:17:30 AM @1miau Yes, it's now working fine for me, too. I also tried from my phone, also working. Looks like everything is working fine again with this explorer: https://btc-explorer.com/ Just tested it few times, and all is good for me. If you want to rate it, I can include in in the list.
You can just copy my code and rate it: Code: [table] Short note: the direct SegWit checking feature for the addresses seems to be not working: https://i.imgur.com/VxOim2f.jpg Says "no" but the address is nested SegWit: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/db6d2b441a5964cd4c3ccdb7316738b020def1fdf2726201f07cc74016844e50 But in general it's a good explorer, it's still possible to check the outgoing transaction in detail and then it's possible to detect if the address is SegWit or not. Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: masulum on November 09, 2019, 12:02:05 AM A new Blockchain.com explorer currently supports BASE58 (P2SH) wallet address to check. I remember, a few months ago I got error when trying to use Blockchain.com with this address. This error only for me or this service really new ???
Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: dkbit98 on December 01, 2019, 08:24:58 PM Is there any visual bitcoin explorer to show addresses, transactions and connections?
On ethereum blockchain there is one nice tool ethtective.com and I was wondering is there is something similar for Bitcoin? Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: Alveus on December 02, 2019, 06:41:46 PM @1miau
My favorite blockexplorer for segWit P2SH addresses is Chainflyer Bitflyer https://chainflyer.bitflyer.jp/Lang/en-US
Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: LTU_btc on December 02, 2019, 08:58:09 PM Very useful thread, it's good to have block explorers listed in one place. You can take a look at another explorer - it's https://blockexplorer.one/btc/mainnet. But I never used it, so I can't give any comments about it
My favorite explorer is Blockchair. But mostly I use Blockchain.com, because their name simply comes first to my head usually. And can you tell criteria that you used to give ranking? Because I as not tech savvy guy, I don't see huge differences between best block explorers.

Because I as not tech savvy guy, I don't see huge differences between best block explorers. Rating is not really representative but I tried to consider the features (like bech32 support // SegWit-Addresses (P2SH) identifyable // additional details like fees (some explorers often confuse Sat/Byte and Sat/vByte)), the general layout and if it's easy to use. At least these criteria are relevant for the ones I've rated. The other ones were suggested and rated by the people who suggested it, don't know which strategy they did apply. The best block explorers on the list are similar and sufficient for everyday use. My favorite explorer is Blockchair, too. :) Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: seoincorporation on December 03, 2019, 03:00:54 AM This is a great list and a great source of information, It was weird for me to see blockchain.com with that low rating but after seeing the other exprorers we can say they are better.

Yeah, I've reviewed my rating and increased it from 4 to 5.

I just found a new explorer and I thought it may be worth of mentioning it here: OXT.

Yes, you are right. I looked for it before posting it, but I didn't see it. And now, after seeing your post I looked again and again I did not see it, until I read the post for a second time.

Thanks for pointing this out, hd49728! You made me very surprised. Did you forget to use Search?I usually use Search when I need to find something in a topic, thread. It is a waste of time to scan and find it by your eyes and you will sometimes miss it (as you did). You have two ways to search: - Ctrl + F, Type OXT, enter, your work is finished. - The Search box (at top right corner): type OXT, enter, your work is finished. Search box help you to search in a thread you are in. You are in 1miau topic, and when you search with OXT in the search box, search engine will only work and find OXT in this topic. OXT will be highlighted. Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: GazetaBitcoin on February 01, 2021, 03:42:47 PM Yes, yes, I know, lol :) But this time I didn't use Ctrl+F because I read the entire topic and I was sure I didn't see it... But everybody makes mistakes :)
Later Edit: I would like to propose now https://bitcoinwhoswho.com. This one isn't mentioned in OP and it has very interesting features: you can see the last IPs of the transactions, verify if the address was tagged in scam activities, you can see if it was mentioned on websites (and on which websites), you can check "bitcoin ownership and wallet balance by name, bitcoin address, email address, url or keyword" (I didn't verify all these yet) and you can also see if repeated inputs came from an address or repeated outputs were sent to an address.

If you click on it, a new page is displayed, where you can insert the BTC address involved in a scam, but not just that. And here things become very interesting. Excepting scams, you can also report "Bitcoin Abuse, Scams, Blackmail and Extortion Emails". Besides, the reporting page also offers a link for making a report directly to FBI O0 Quote Bitcoin Scam Alerts Report the Scam It's essential to tag every scam address so that transactions with it can be detected and avoided. There are no bitcoin police. The community has to step up. Report Stolen Bitcoin You can report stolen bitcoin to the FBI (https://complaint.ic3.gov/default.aspx) but they're not going to do anything unless it's a million dollar scam.

Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: 1miau on July 24, 2021, 01:34:55 PM The famous block explorer Blockchair.com (https://blockchair.com/) has changed its design recently and is looking like that now:
Transactions: https://i.imgur.com/SPoawom.png Transactions are still displayed in a short overview but can be extended via drop-down menu. But for SegWit addresses, it had been better previously. Previously a simple yes / no button in the drop-down menu was displayed but now, it has been replaced and SegWit-Addresses show up as SegWit by a blue button. For addresses, which arent SegWit, no button is displayed. If someone doesnt know about that feature and how it looks like, it can cause confusion for Non-SegWit addresses where people will search but cant find it because no SegWit isnt displayed anymore. https://i.imgur.com/Hp5Pfr3.png Non-SegWit addresses dont have any tag Comparison: SegWit: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/db6d2b441a5964cd4c3ccdb7316738b020def1fdf2726201f07cc74016844e50 No SegWit: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/b4262cc5ac3be3899c6d840408eb4252c150bdf82534921360aa5946ded9d62a Previously, displaying SegWit addresses has been better in my opinion. Addresses: https://i.imgur.com/GSmFG5X.png Addresses are now containing directly an address-type, which is very good but beginners might be confused a little bit. I havent researched it, if nested SegWit (P2WPKH-P2SH) addresses without outgoing transaction are displayed correctly.

Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: 1miau on September 22, 2021, 11:20:50 PM Update: I have removed wallet explorer. com because it got exposed as an anti-privacy blockexplorer: https://www.coindesk.com/business/2021/09/21/leaked-slides-show-how-chainalysis-flags-crypto-suspects-for-cops/
Coindesk has researched about it and concluded: Wallet Explorer is operated by Chainalysis, a research company for Blockchain data and is recording people's IP addresses including inserted cryptocurrency adresses. By doing so, Chainalysis can collect data, which IP belongs to which cryptocurrency address, which is bad for privacy. Coindesk has also claimed, specific datasets were forwarded to law enforcement. It is generally recommended to insert own addresses at Blockexplorers only via VPN.

It is generally recommended to insert own addresses at Blockexplorers only via VPN.

Yes, we've talked about that in our PMs and since SqiurrelJulietGarden has already created a new topic about it (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5406199.0), I'll skip this one but of course, I'll update my list of address types. I'll update it as discussed via PM. :) Found a bunch of other explorers: Great contribution again, I'll add it to my list when I've some more time next weekend. ... The following explorers should move out of the main list: Noted, I'll create a new table called "outdated or inaccessible".
Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: cygan on September 23, 2022, 03:27:33 PM today i came across a Bitcoin explorer which is unknown to me and relatively very new and currently still in the beta phase
this explorer also supports the new taproot (bc1p...) addresses. the special feature of the explorer is also the use of a fully homomorphic encryption to guarantee the privacy of its own balance lookups. https://i.ibb.co/8dbK9tG/60994729.png
Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: dkbit98 on September 24, 2022, 03:18:03 PM today i came across a Bitcoin explorer which is unknown to me and relatively very new and currently still in the beta phase I wrote about this Spiral explorer before and I like what they are doing, but today I noticed they added footer saying that code has not been formally audited, and they don't recommend using it for mission-critical applications.this explorer also supports the new taproot (bc1p...) addresses. the special feature of the explorer is also the use of a fully homomorphic encryption to guarantee the privacy of its own balance lookups. I wouldn't recommend using it for general use until we see code review, adding more features and coming out from beta phase. Maybe they plan to stay closed source since they are joining forces with ledger wallet :P Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: 1miau on September 24, 2022, 09:56:32 PM Found a bunch of other explorers: Finally added, sorry for the delay. ...

Many thanks again for your research. :) today i came across a Bitcoin explorer which is unknown to me and relatively very new and currently still in the beta phase Interesting one, also added to the list including your description. Maybe you have some time later for a rating. So far, it's only too look up a specific address, while tx hash / block number doesn't work. Empty addresses are also shown as "invalid". Since we can only judge from a tx hash if an (sending) address is (nested) SegWit or Multisig, it wasn't possible for me to verify if it's a SegWit address or not. In your summary, you said "SegWit-Addresses (P2SH) identifyable?* - Yes". May I ask where you got it from? Do you know if more than just addresses will be featured at some point? Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: cygan on September 25, 2022, 07:56:44 AM i simply entered a segwit address (p2sh) in the search field and the spiral explorer was able to show me several transactions to that address. even if the website does not immediately show a result of the search query, it is best to press the search button several times and it looks like you can only search for Bitcoin addresses at the moment.

Okay, so it doesn't show whether it's a nested SegWit or a Multisignature address, see here: BTC addresses starting with "3" what are they ? simplified explanation. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5133475.0)https://i.imgur.com/Mb1rIBP.png It's showing the balance but we can't look up which address type it is. Because usually we can only see this from an outgoing transaction by checking the tx hash. Changed to "no" for now. Maybe such an information will be added somewhen later, since it's still in Beta. :) Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: GazetaBitcoin on September 26, 2022, 02:40:14 PM Hey 1miau, SFR, and cygan, thanks again for another update. It's important to keep this thread as up to date as possible.
@1miau: as usual, your lattest update appears also in the translated topic, the one from Romanian board. I added the topic you added and I removed the ones you removed as well. Apparently, I had some missing topics from OP (perhaps I forgot to add them when you made previous updates), but now the translated topic reflects all the information from the original. Excepting that, I was also wondering if you have any news about the Taproot research you said you'll make, a while ago (which would also, possibly, lead to an update for the thread - Why people should be using SegWit addresses (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5355829)). Later edit: Rizzrack proposed (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5268520.msg61013667#msg61013667) a new explorer - Bitquery - which also seems to be in Beta stage. His reason for proposing it was that "it generates an interactive UI of the transfer of BTC between addresses". If you want to add this one too, let me know. Second later edit: 1miau, you forgot to remove Bitcoinchain.com from the list of functional explorers :) NeuroticFish observed that, by seeing it still there, in the translated topic.

Especially Txflow (https://www.txflow.io/) seems to be a little bit odd, because tx hashs can't be checked. It looks more like a visualisation website for ingoing / outgoing transactions from / to an specific address, not a real Blockexplorer. While Taproot (bc1p) addresses don't work.

I never figured out why... And I copied exactly the BBCode from your OP. Perhaps, if you want to take a look and see yourself...? Maybe you have a suggestion...? Perhaps I misplaced an operator...? I have no idea. Most likely, we need more _ _ _ (but no stealing from o_e_l_e_o's name :P). Our _ _ _ are limiting column size here and I have removed 2 _ from Recunoaște adresele SegWit (P2SH)?* and removed 6 _ from Utilitate (scor subiectiv :P) + added 4_ in general, so we could add 12 _ to your column in question, and it should work like this (just replace in your translated topic our _ _ _ table row)
See code below: Code: [tr] It should work now. :) Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: GazetaBitcoin on November 09, 2022, 07:57:02 AM Much appreciated, as usually! :) Pleasure is all mine :) Most likely, we need more _ _ _ (but no stealing from o_e_l_e_o's name :P).

Thank you very much, my friend! I just replaced the old code with the one you suggested and now it looks perfect: https://i.ibb.co/9Y92LWs/fWyQ77W.png But what I still don't understand is... why, at beginning, just after I made the translation by copy-pasting your own BBCode, my table was looking well... And only after a while, after some updates, after adding and removing some websites that column started to look inappropriate. Still, I did not make any change to the table BBCode... Maybe you made a change at the table's code, perhaps, and I did not notice it...? I think this happened, maybe, after you added the part containing Bech32m... If it's not that I have no clue why the table changed in time and why it was looking well at beginning. Anyway, thanks a lot!

Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: Rizzrack on November 10, 2022, 10:16:19 AM Small update: The following explorers are showing Taproot addresses without any stats [not sure if you should change their "YES" in the Bech32m column...]: bitquery (https://explorer.bitquery.io/) bitquery shows info for taproot addresses: https://explorer.bitquery.io/bitcoin/address/bc1pdqrcrxa8vx6gy75mfdfj84puhxffh4fq46h3gkp6jxdd0vjcsdyspfxcv6?from=2022-05-01&till=2022-11-10 The problem is that by default it displays info about the inputs and outputs in the last 7 days. You would need to manually adjust the date range so it displays older info.

I'll skip them for now and only add them if it's done properly to avoid confusing people. Some might use a certain explorer and get disappointed. :D
I've change it to "No".
Many thanks for your research! :) Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: GazetaBitcoin on November 16, 2022, 04:15:11 PM Thanks again, SFR10, for all the involvement you have for this topic. And thank you too, 1miau, for operating the changes.
This is just a short heads-up, to let you know that all new modifications of OP are now reflected within the translated topic as well. Once again, sorry for managing these changes with a delay of a few days, but I really could not attend them faster. I'll try to improve my reaction time in the future :) Cheers!

e.g. when and in which epoch exactly the respective block has been mined ... the whole tool is called 'timechain calender (https://timechaincalendar.com/)' for me personally a nice tool to 'play' something in the already long block past ;) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fhyq75TWIAkcItv?format=jpg&name=900x900 edit: version 0.3 offers a live visualization of the last 24 hours of block production. each block is positioned on the ring based on the exact timestamp at which it was mined.

It is useful to get an estimation for next adjustment on network difficulty especially if it is congested and miners shutdown their ASICs massively by whatever reasons (serious temporary loses or floods, catastrophes, bans on mining etc.) I know other Bitcoin block explorers have that information too but for the one you shared, it is what I like most.

@1miau: I also updated Romanian topic with the new site. Excepting that, NeuroticFish observed (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5268520.msg61320702#msg61320702) that SoChain is working again now. I verified it too and it works on my side.

Thank you, SFR10, for this new update and for your continuous work in providing new block explorers! As usual, I also updated the translated topic with this new website. It's curious though that it doesn't offer the possibility to search for addresses... It is what it is. I've added an additional text pointing it out. :) I also added your updated comment in the translated topic. Last, but not least, I also removed the comment which was saying that SoChain is not functional. I only recently observed that 1miau made that change. Oh and one last thing: 1miau, I noticed that you wrote the comments for last two sites with words starting with lower caps letters. Perhaps, for consistency purposes, you would like to use upper case letters for "displaying" and "search"? (And, maybe, change "displaying" with "displays" and "search" with "searches"?)

Yes, it'll be more easier for me to notice the changes, if you write them down. For example, the comment removed for SoChain (the one saying it's not functional) was marked by you with a merit for my post :) But when I received the merit I just looked quickly at who gave it to me and for what post and I probably just told myself a "thank you 1miau", without realizing that it also implied that you deleted that comment. So yes, if it's not too much effort, let's do like this, with changes written down :) Done, I've removed the entry I also removed it from the translated topic. Quick question: shouldn't this deleted website be moved at "Removed Blockexplorers" section? (I just realized now that there should be also a space added between Block and explorers -- I hope this helps as well) I know it was initially listed under the section "Different other sites / .onion links" therefore I am not sure if you also want to keep these ones at the section for removed websites. So far you only deleted sites from the main part of OP and all these appear at the "Removed" section so I am not sure about how you want to treat the deleted links which were posted as "different other sites". Should these be kept there as well, or have them permanently removed?

Yes, I've not listed it in "Removed Blockexplorers" section because it's a formatting issue (table layout is different, so I need to modify my code). If you want we can add a new table exclusively created for "deleted Different other sites / .onion links" where we can list it. But since it's not working anymore, I'm not sure if creating a new table is beneficial... I think it's okay to leave it deleted, as Loyce also suggested. My main idea was just to make sure we have consistency (see, we talk again about consistency :)) between how to manage deleted explorers and apply then a pattern for all (or for all types). This meant that we could: (1) delete all forever (meaning those from the upper part of the OP and also those from Different sites section); (2) delete forever only those from Different sites section. Since this was first case when a different site was removed, this also became first time when we had to settle this consistency for the future :) Therefore, for consistency purposes (smile here) I suggest that, in the future, if other sites from Different sites section will be removed, to eliminate them also completely. And to keep only those from upper part of the OP at Removed block explorers section. Of course, excepting the consistency, it also matters that more work from you would be needed for keeping the eliminated Different sites under Removed block explorers. And, as we all know how unpleasant is working with BBCode tables, I believe that this is another very good argument to proceed as we settled.

Block Explorers that work without Java Script are to me a gift from heaven. You can have Privacy and comfort at the same time. So I added a column to show which Block Explorers you have listed works properly with Java Script disabled and which does not. Maybe it is a helpful addition. Bitcoin block explorers:

It's not your fault I have been tired yersterday as well. :D Well, I have created the topic, man. ;) Yes, I do know that :) but only a small portion of thread starters maintain their threads after a few years [unfortunately].So I added a column to show which Block Explorers you have listed works properly with Java Script disabled and which does not. Maybe it is a helpful addition. It's a very valuable contribution and I would like to add it to my OP but each table column would even get smaller, so I've added a sentence below: PrivacyG has made a list of all Block Explorers above working without Java Script. You can find PrivacyG's contribution here to find out more about it. 1miau, what would you consider a 10 out of 10 Block Explorer? Good question. :)I don't really have an answer for your question but as we all know nothing is perfect, I believe there are always few improvements to implement. Maybe Blockchair could also be rated 9/10 but for whatever reason, it's currently 8/10. I added a column to show which Block Explorers you have listed works properly with Java Script disabled and which does not. Maybe it is a helpful addition. I think that's a very good idea, PrivacyG! Good job! This column offers more visibility for all those willing to try these websites while having JavaScript disabled. I think it would be a nice addition to the existing table. Besides, maybe this addition could also influence (in good) the marks of the sites working with JavaScript disabled...? I've added it currently as a comment below. What's everyone's opinion on this topic? Damn, looks like I've missed it, should be removed now: And now you've removed the V3 address as well~Snipped~ or http://explorerzydxu5ecjrkwceayqybizmpjjznk5izmitf2modhcusuqlid.onion/ (http://explorerzydxu5ecjrkwceayqybizmpjjznk5izmitf2modhcusuqlid.onion/) (V3) Loooool! Our friend is distracted lately :D Or is he in love? ::) And it's lot of BBCode which is quite a mess sometimes (I believe you know it from your translations list. ;)).

By the way, make sure you write PrivacyG's name properly, my dear 1miau.

I did not even consider it would look different on a 1080p display. I am using Tor Browser, which is by default trying to avoid any finger print. One of the measures is it runs under a certain window size by default (around half the screen of a 1080p display). So on my browser, it looks fine.
If it gets distorted on your display, maybe it is not a good idea to add my column to OP. Does my table fit better on your screen if we shorten the Usefulness column by a few underlines? I am sure there are a few columns we can tighten up to make more space. - Regards, PrivacyG Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: 1miau on February 18, 2023, 10:31:05 PM It's a very valuable contribution and I would like to add it to my OP but each table column would even get smaller Sadly, this is true. Yesterday, when I saw PrivacyG's update of the table it Maybe it is shown fine on higher resolution but most users have 1080p therefore the table should be kept in its actual form. I'm viewing it from my largest device but I'm sure it won't get better on smaller devices or even mobile devices, so I've cosen the approach to add PrivacyG's contribution below. We can still change the table or add the column on the right side but it might be cut off entirely then. so I've added a sentence below PrivacyG has made a list of all Block Explorers above working without Java Script.

Maybe Blockchair could also be rated 9/10 but for whatever reason, it's currently 8/10. Loooooool but you added Blockchair to the list :) Yet you talk like someone else rated it only with 8/10 :) I also believe it deserves a better mark. And, changing it is very simple, as it's only up tp you for 2 reasons: (1) you are topic's author, thus you can change marks anyway (smile) and (2) this explorer was suggested by you, thus you are not changing the mark against someone else's will, if you believe it should have a better mark. From my perspective I'd go even more far than 9/10 and I'd give it 10/10 for the following reason: it's the best one we have! As a consequence, all other ones will be compared with best one, right? Therefore, if it is best one we have, it actually deserves 10/10, no matter that it can be improved here and there. If another explorer will come up, having all Blockchair features and also some more nice additions then it will be marked with 10/10 and change Blockchair's mark to 9/10. Does this make sense? 1miau is tired, dear GazetaBitcoin. :D And it's lot of BBCode which is quite a mess sometimes (I believe you know it from your translations list. ;)). Oh yes, I know, I know... You are right, I need to spell PrivacyG's name properly, my dear GazetaBitcoin. :) I'll do it correctly from now on and in Romanian it's Intimitate(a)G's (because PrivacyG might be female :D). ;) You are also right :) "Intimitate" means "Privacy", while "Intimitatea" means "The Privacy". And it is, indeed, a substantive of feminine gender. Unfortunately, the gender of our nyms don't also reveal our real genders :) Yet I have my reasons for also believing that PrivacyG is a chick ::) Now it came into my mind to vote PrivacyG at Miss BitcoinTalk category during BCA 2023. Ohhhh, shoot, I forgot that icopress took most wrong decision (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5121375.msg61758769#msg61758769) of his entire life (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5121375.msg61779193#msg61779193) (facepalm) ;D We could do it like that, if it's ok for everyone [...] Any opinions, if the layout above is decent, are welcome. :) You trimmed it well, padawan! And it's almost there! 99%! I will explain and also propose a solution for having it perfectly fitting the screen! Take a look at this (this is how it shows on 1080p): https://i.ibb.co/8mSNQvf/V9KTAry.png As far as I see, on 1080p, the comments section show only 96 characters (I counted the characters from this string: "movement of our balance. If using no-JS, click a random TX, Block or Address and edi" -- which represents the visible part of the text). The line containing "edit" word has 87 characters. The other truncated line (from BitcoinWho'sWho) has 98 characters (the word "as" is not shown). As a consequence, we are in need of 2-3 more characters for "Comments" column. https://i.ibb.co/DPdYPx7/dFDn3I7.png As shown in the above picture, I think we can shorten "Usefulness" column with 3 characters, by deleting that emoji. Having "Usefulness" column shortened then, maybe "Comments" column can be expanded with 3 characters. I hope this helps. Later edit: PrivacyG has one more suggestion (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5268520.msg61781306#msg61781306) but I guess shyness prevailed (:D)). He (?) said that he believes that Atomic explorer is not actually redirecting to Trezor explorer website. Instead, he believes that Atomic copies Trezor's website and that there is only a very small difference between the two websites.

Having this in mind, together with the fact that 1miau already found a way for trimming the table enough (the power of 1% is so incredible, as always!) in order to still have all information shown, I guess we can use it like this (meaning the way 1miau trimmed it)?

Practically, I deleted the ": " after "*", in order to be same alignment and spacing as in the case of "**". Regarding our survey, we have agreed to collect votes for the following issues: - Rating from Blockchair Bitcoin Block Explorer exactly 8/10 points? - Rating from Blockchair Bitcoin Block Explorer over 8/10 points? (suggested by GazetaBitcoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197909.msg61789316#msg61789316)) Basically, I'd say to let everyone vote the preferred mark for this explorer... That would simplify the two questions into a single one :) - Removing "comments" column from our table - Yes - Removing "comments" column from our table - No (suggested by several members) - Including comments in "hover format" - Yes - Including comments in "hover format" - No [...] Am I right here? In rest everything is correct.

Our survey is now up and everyone is invited to vote! O0 People can select up to 8 answers because I don't see a better option to put such a poll into one topic (otherwise we would would need seeral topics, making it very messy). Plz vote here: Survey regarding our Bitcoin Blockexplorer topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5441232.0) You can also leave a comment / suggestion / advertisement for any of the options. :D We also need to specify how long our poll will be running.

O0 Thank you for taking your time and creating this survey, 1miau! I already made my vote. It seems I was the first one, hehe. Needless to say, those which will vote to keep "Comments" column must also vote against having comments "hover" format and vice-versa (I hope there will not be contradictory votes). We also need to specify how long our poll will be running. I believe that 14 days are more than enough for having a good image of what voters want to see changed / kept in the table from OP.

Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: Jon_Hodl on March 04, 2023, 09:47:57 PM I don't use any of these because they are all bloated with lots of clutter and shitcoinery. I use a few different block explorers for different things.
I use Mempool.Space for almost everything because it's simple and gets me all of the info I need for a basic tx and the current fee rate, etc. - https://MemPool.space I use BitFeed for more precise info of each block but similar static data can be found on MemPool. I like to look more closely at the fee rate of all of the txs in a block - https://bits.monospace.live When I need some basic "chain analysis" I use bread crumbs to see if I can follow funds a bit better to and from verified exchange wallets - https://www.breadcrumbs.app/ I also use TX Flow to follow money on chain a bit easier than other explorers but it tend to crash when you try to look up addresses with a lot of history - https://www.txflow.io/ OXT.me is good for understanding privacy and the flow of funds on-chain but this is usually a lot more than I need - https://oxt.me/ Finally, I use KYCP to know how private a transaction is and view the flow of funds within a tx - https://kycp.org/ I hope these tools help. Please stop using all of these poor block explorers to look up on-chain transactions. If you do, please use a VPN or Tor at the very least.

Our survey, part 2, is now up and everyone is invited to vote! O0 We needed to have a runoff-vote because for some of our previous questions, some answers got a DRAW (equal number of votes for competing suggestions). Solution: we will have a runoff-vote to ask everyone, to vote for your favorite option. People can select up to 4 answers because I don't see a better option to put such a poll into one topic (otherwise we would would need seeral topics, making it very messy). Plz vote here: Survey regarding our Bitcoin Blockexplorer topic [Part 2] (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5448075.0) You can also leave a comment / suggestion / advertisement for any of the options. :D We also need to specify how long our poll will be running.

Finally, I've rated them from my side how useful each block explorer is. The rating is better the more detailed the explorer is. Bitcoin block explorers *:
Anyone have any ideas why this happens for empty wallets? Anything with a balance shows up correctly. I don't know but maybe a coder will leave a comment here in case he knows about it. :)Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: GazetaBitcoin on September 22, 2023, 02:44:01 PM Speaking about Spiral explorer, it seems that its name was modified meanwhile, although it did not pass the Beta phase yet.

Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: GazetaBitcoin on September 23, 2023, 08:10:43 AM I've changed my table and mentioned both versions for now (+ links) Thanks for this update, 1miau!

However, please don't forget to update also the old version (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197909.msg61902232#msg61902232) of the table :) Besides, if I may, I would suggest you to make a slight change to this line: Code: [td][url=https://btc.usespiral.com/]Spiral[/url] / [url=https://btc.blyss.dev/]Blyss[/url][sup][url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197909.msg62885783#msg62885783] [1][/url][/sup][/td] You see that space before the "[1]"? This makes the hyperlink add a "_" when hovering the mouse on "[1]" and I think it looks a bit unaesthetic: https://i.ibb.co/pnzhjLZ/Untitled2.png See? There's a "_" between the last "s" from "Blyss" and "[1]". We could avoid that unaesthetic "_" by eliminating the space I mentioned above. So that line should look like this: Code: [td][url=https://btc.usespiral.com/]Spiral[/url] / [url=https://btc.blyss.dev/]Blyss[/url][sup][url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197909.msg62885783#msg62885783][1][/url][/sup][/td] Or, alternatively, if you want to be a space between "Blyss" and "[1]", but not the unaesthetic "_", the line could be also changed like this: Code: [td][url=https://btc.usespiral.com/]Spiral[/url] / [url=https://btc.blyss.dev/]Blyss[/url] [sup][url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197909.msg62885783#msg62885783][1][/url][/sup][/td] In this case I eliminated the space between the post link the the "[1]" and I added a space between "Blyss[/url]" and "[sup".

I used to be a big fan of Blockchair.com explorer until a day they deployed a new user interface. It happened a long time ago, like years, but with that upgrade, they no longer display a full address, only display a few first and few last characters of a address, that makes it is harder to find an address with their explorer.I don't know how others feel with that upgrade but after that, I barely use Blockchair.com Quote OP, humble request add mempool to the pool if possible 8) It is a great request because as a non custodial Bitcoin wallet users, mempool information is what we take a look at before broadcasting our transaction.Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: GazetaBitcoin on October 18, 2023, 06:35:18 AM - can you add the comment of cryptoID to the old table as well?

Besides, if I remember well, this poll contained initially all the explorers listed when OP was created. Since then many other websites were added.

Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: GazetaBitcoin on October 20, 2023, 02:55:15 PM It's a really difficult decision and maybe, our best solution is, if we do it like that: First step: screenshot the current poll and save it (normal picture or even archive) Second step: reset it and start it again, where we will add all current sites and remove inactive sites.

Should Arkham Intelligence explorer also be considered a Bitcoin block explorer?

A Bitcoin address https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/address/3C7wiajXmLyUAWYa8c9dsyJ5sUkGt59mCc 2. A transaction address https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/tx/0e25200fd306ee0429e72b5c8f357eea026050502b4056042146f0726cf403b8 Advantage: 1. consists of a graphical transactions' visualizer between addresses.

Well, I have translated you two topics and already posted. And I think I have helped my community members. Because I just used simple language. Now I have posted so you may verify and can approve. The community will check your translation later, see my announcement: I am sure it will be verified by my community members. But if they will not verify so you can ignore. Because I didn't know about your recent post which you have mentioned.

Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: Publictalk792 on November 08, 2023, 01:30:57 AM It's common sense to request a translation first and wait for approval to avoid any confusions. What a kind words you used to teach sir. By the way I understood your point of view in the first post and now you explain much. Imagine, everyone starts translating the same topic at once, same language. Someone finishes his translation first and for all the other people translating meanwhile your language, it's a wasted time because all of their translations are useless now because it's already translated. And they can't know who's translating already because no request was submitted. By requesting + reserving a translation, we will avoid such mistakes. :) At least, now you know. :) Next time I will keep in mind. But now I have posted and already got a merit from DT member (second one he didn't read I think so). Because I didn't use any translator. I translated your two posts. That two posts took 4 hours. ;D Exactly like you given an example of waste of time. By the way that was my first time. I just searched your topic in my local language and didn't see in my language. Your all posts are informative when I read this post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5468668.0). I felt that it should be shared in my local community it will really help my community members. So I just started to translate and it took almost 2hours(one post). By the way again Thanks for teaching. Will try my best to follow the rules of translation next time. Bitcointalk's community members will need to approve it because I'm not a native speaker of your language. I understood your point. Next time I will be careful. Now have posted so I apologize if you will say I will delete the posts but I think these shouldn't be deleted.We have many complaints already about fraudulent translations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5471131.msg63121739#msg63121739) and we will check every translation in detail for it's legitimacy. Again and again thanks for your kind words. :) :) Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: 1miau on November 08, 2023, 02:53:53 AM Now have posted so I apologize if you will say I will delete the posts but I think these shouldn't be deleted. No need to delete your translations, we'll review them and if it's a legitimate translation, you'll get a reward and I'll add your translations to my OP. But for any possible next translation, no matter if one of my topics or from someone else, you know it's important to request an official permission first for your translation in each original topic. :)Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: GazetaBitcoin on November 15, 2023, 11:04:18 AM In addition, I've updated my code in the OP as what's been still there until now was still for the old version. It's updated now. :) Can you pinpoint the changes, please? Thus I make sure I also add them to the Romanian translation.
Code: [table] I come back to this post as I finally had some time to investigate the needed changes for the Romanian translation of OP. However, I don't see any change that I should make... This is how Romanian translation looks like: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5268520. 1miau, are you so kind, please, to help me a little with those changes that I should do?

honestly, Anon doesn't even deserve a 0 rating. It is overloaded with advertisements, even a popup that appears by clicking on the menu item. On https://blog.anontransfer.com/ there is a "Hello World" message ??? You can back to the site by clicking on the logo at the top... Truly amateur. If I may ask, why is it important to have this information with the date in brackets? Is that the time when some explorer implemented support for a certain type of address? Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: 1miau on November 15, 2023, 11:51:05 PM I come back to this post as I finally had some time to investigate the needed changes for the Romanian translation of OP. After changing our table layout from old to new, we had to replace our code (which can be copied in our OP, white background) with an updated version as well, as our table layout has changed. I've forgotten that in OP as well, see my recent announcement few post above. However, I don't see any change that I should make... This is how Romanian translation looks like: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5268520. 1miau, are you so kind, please, to help me a little with those changes that I should do? For example, in your Romanian code (white background), there's no headling for "Funcționează fără JS?", because it's an outdated code. There's some more to be updated in the code, like "Comentarii" is now our hover format. You can just replace your current code in your Romanian version with my current code from OP, where all details are up to date. :) If I may ask, why is it important to have this information with the date in brackets? Is that the time when some explorer implemented support for a certain type of address? It's each date, when we've added the information to the table. :) Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: SFR10 on November 16, 2023, 05:55:28 AM honestly, Anon doesn't even deserve a 0 rating. It is overloaded with advertisements, even a popup that appears by clicking on the menu item. Even though this is a subjective rating, I still don't think it's fair to rate them based on the number of ads that appear in their explorer [the first one on the list has more ads when you click on any of their blockchain explorers (I do know they have the option of turning it off for three days, but still...)].- BTW, I'm not seeing any pop-ups on my end.

Maybe I am subjective, but it is a desperate practice and a cluttered service that cannot be considered useful.

After my translation strategy for the Pakistan local board is still not set and there hasn't been an official reservation post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197909.msg63121884#msg63121884), a translation from Publictalk792 is still pending, see here and the following discussion. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197909.msg63117001#msg63117001) Since I'm no longer OP, it's up to you how to proceed here, because I don't want to interfere in how you are handling your translations and I know you trust your trusted proofreaders. Maybe it's an option to take advice from a trusted proofreader here and if it's getting approved, the topic can be added to the OP, despite no reservation was made? Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: GazetaBitcoin on December 29, 2023, 10:32:00 AM Thank you for your heads-up, 1miau! I was not aware of that translation. I will check if it's a good one and come back on this matter after the check is finished :)

Since I didn't had your translation on my list, it got buried unnoticed in the topic but as said via PM, good translations will be rewarded, also as discussed here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197909.msg63122454#msg63122454). I'm sure that GazetaBitcoin will give an update about it soon.

The translation looks good, thank you Publictalk792! You can consider it approved :) There are some minuscule changes needed, which I'll point out in a PM, but the translation is okay and I added it to OP.

I still need to make a new post though, with the old table, as I can't edit 1miau's post containing it. I will do that tomorrow. Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: GazetaBitcoin on January 16, 2024, 06:51:08 PM I've updated our list according to the outcomes of our survey (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5441232.0). Please let me know if you like our improved version, if you want to share your opinion. Unfortunately, I had to remove all links from the comments as it's not possible to add links for our new hover format. Instead, I'll leave an old version from before our changes here. You'll find it below "old format". I'll also add a link and a description in our OP. :) Old version: Bitcoin block explorers:

At same time, I have to apologize for the delay in replying you here. I've been extremely caught recently and, to be honest, I forgot to reply... Regarding this explorer, indeed, it looks like we have a rebranded version. Do you think it should be added to OP...? It's first version was rated with 5/10, which is not a very good mark... In any case, it was added since it was proposed by ajiz138 and also rated by him.

It also supports other notable chains. It has a nice UI. However, I can't rate as I have just known it only today, maybe someone can help rate it Seems like a legitimate Blockexplorer. https://3xpl.com/bitcoin Tor Link: http://3xplor3rzajysy4j5fi3g3k27vivfcw75zjxdb2tg2wpz3i4cdiyhxyd.onion No worry for rating yet, if you are not sure how to rate it, take your time until you know.

You are right, I have not added "3xpl" to my list of block exporers back then because I've interpreted the post of Bitcoin_Arena that way, that Bitcoin_Arena still needs time to review it properly, especially to give an accurate rating for our table. Thanks to both of you for the above explanations... If Bitcoin_Arena doesn't rate it a year after he/she made the post in question, then perhaps one of us should rate it instead.Title: Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers Post by: 1miau on May 02, 2024, 04:58:46 PM If Bitcoin_Arena doesn't rate it a year after he/she made the post in question, then perhaps one of us should rate it instead. I haven't looked at the site in detail yet but big question is how much Merit the block explorer in question has, if the person who suggested it doesn't come back and submit his personal rating score.

It has some features that AFAICR doesn't exist in most of the other explorers in the list [it might be more useful for those who like to analyze stuff]... It's not perfect by any means, but I think it deserves a spot on the list.
