How Blockchain Explorers Work The Qtum developers released a nice Christmas gift, a new user interface for qtum.info, the official Qtum blockchain explorer. This week we look at how blockchain explorers work, and then next week we look at the new features in qtum.info. TL;DR: Full node wallets can access the entire blockchain but their view is focused on the addresses (private keys) they manage. To see all the transactions and blockchain activity use a blockchain explorer, which is a browser and search engine for the blockchain. Explorers work using a database which holds all the blockchain information in easily searchable tables. The Qtum Explorer provides additional features such as rich list, smart contract calls, QRC20 transactions, and current network statistics.

Qtum Galaxy Update Week of December 23 https://medium.com/@Qtum/qtum-galaxy-update-2dcfd2577f2bGoing into the weekend there is one more week of Qtum Galaxy — Full Nodes incentive Program, with a little over 100 Lucky Star awards to be given out, 40 Stellar Awards (20 each on December 27 and January 3), 50 rewards in the Twitter Lucky Draw, and the Planet Awards and Satellite Awards remain to be claimed after the Program ends on January 5th. There is still plenty of time to join and refer your friends. And still, plenty of time to learn how to run a Qtum node and compete for some tasty awards! Get more information and sign up at: https://galaxy.qtum.org/Virtual Private Servers in the CloudIt is easy to follow the directions at https://galaxy.qtum.org/ (see the tutorial link in Step 5 for Windows, Mac, and Linux) for a desktop personal computer. You can also run nodes for Qtum Galaxy as a VPS (Virtual Private Server) in cloud data centers. This is an approach taken by some more experienced community members for Qtum Galaxy and is an easy way to add more nodes. Qtum Galaxy is all about adding Qtum nodes, the more the merrier, with more prize opportunities. To add a node on a PC or even Raspberry Pi takes setting up another computer, but setting up a VPS in the cloud only takes a few clicks, and once you understand how, it is easy to add a few more.
