[ANNOUNCE] Abe 0.7: Open Source Block Explorer Knockoff

[fronti]

if you run it over FastCGI, restart your webserver.

You mean the whole server/machine (which I did), or just Apache? Only to be sure.

only the webserver means the program (in this case Apache)

OK, thanks to you both for clearing this up.

Hi, WildWestCoin needs in the new Block Explorer, who can help?

I'm attempting to set up a Fudcoin explorer.  (After that, I'll expand it to the other coins for which I have daemons running, but I'm starting with Fudcoin.) I already have a Bitgem explorer running (see link in my sig) with the CryptoManiac fork, so I started with that.  It reads in the blockchain and starts the webserver, but when I try to access it, it fails with a division-by-zero error:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/wsgiref/handlers.py", line 85, in run
    self.result = application(self.environ, self.start_response)
  File "Abe/abe.py", line 209, in __call__
    handler(page)
  File "Abe/abe.py", line 307, in handle_chains
    100.0 - (100.0 * (ss + more) / (total_ss + more)))
ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero

If I put the offending code in a try-except block, the homepage comes up...but it only shows the genesis block.

I then tried the main branch.  It won't even start up:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Abe/abe.py", line 32, in <module>
    import DataStore
  File "/home/abe/bitcoin-abe/Abe/DataStore.py", line 31, in <module>
    import Chain
  File "/home/abe/bitcoin-abe/Abe/Chain/__init__.py", line 17, in <module>
    from .. import deserialize, BCDataStream, util
ValueError: Attempted relative import beyond toplevel package

The last version tagged is 0.7.2, which is nearly two years old.  The last commit in master is only a couple of months old, but it doesn't do any good if it won't run. Is there another fork that people are using nowadays?  The coins I'm interested in monitoring are sha256d and scrypt coins.  Proof-of-stake support is needed for some.

Does it work for X15 coins? Which type of chain should I select or is any external module to do this?

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Abe/abe.py", line 32, in <module>
    import DataStore
  File "/home/abe/bitcoin-abe/Abe/DataStore.py", line 31, in <module>

    from .. import deserialize, BCDataStream, util

Does anyone know the parameters needed for Guldencoin(NLG) - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=554412.0

I want to run ABE for NLG. Thanks!

"address_version": "\u00f3"
For rest, follow examples in abe.conf

Thanks, I hope you can be patient with me as I am still learning about this stuff.

I am using this tutorial - https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/1312-luckycoin-blockchain-explorer/

Here is where I am stuck -

Replace in the file bitcoin-abe/Abe/DataStore.py lines 73-74 with the coin parameters of the Luckycoin network.
{"chain":"Luckycoin","code3":"LKY", "address_version":"\x2f", "magic":"\xfb\xc0\xb6\xdb"},

Here is the how I presume this line should look for NLG -

{"chain":"GuldenCoin","code3":"NLG", "address_version":"\u00f3", "magic":"\xfb\xc0\xb6\xdb"}

but not sure of the 'magic' stuff.

Also 'DataStore.py lines 73-74' did not really match up... do I just add this line at the end of the 'chain_config' sequence?

Thanks!

can Abe work with fresh algorithm? which policy can I use for fresh algorithm.

Abe docs (and example confs) explain how to adapt for a new chain, there are some old unfixed problems though and you may need to edit the internal datastore.py to make it work. Another solution is to use an explorer which does not care for algorithm and work with all blockchain, like RPC Ace: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=686177.0

hi,

can anyone post a download link for abe.sqlite bitcoin (or a trick to make it faster), this shit takes forever to finish. im still on block_tx 182130 3564583 since 7 days

Yeah i feel your pain, I've been there :PP If you are not looking in-depth details of inputs or tracking addresses and already have the blockchain, check out RPC Ace explorer as it doesn't need installation no database etc.

just dont use sqlite, its not meant for a serious DB, just for something small to play around/beginners. bitcoin is huge and dosnt fit this space.

You are blatantly wrong and misinformed. You should not make comments like those because people who (just like you) don't know better will take it for truth.

Sqlite does not offer a queing gateway for queries like postgresql or mysql does, but in terms of inherent concurrency it is in fact much more capable than both postgres and mysql is, and with notably higher performance while still consuming less memory. For sheer size of databases, it is faster and more efficient, but only for intra-process concurrency. Contrary to common believe, sqlite does have a transaction log, and it is suitable for multi-process concurrency just not on the same scale as a dbms with a queing gateway.

Is there a working demo somewhere?

Hi, does abe support lookup of xpub HD wallets?
https://github.com/bitcoin-abe/bitcoin-abe/issues/160

As seen on blockchain.info?

Multiple, for example abe.explorer.e-waluty.net.pl (custom theme)

Why appear no new versions of Abe since v0.7.2 (Dec 7, 2012)?
Should instead the current master branch of Abe be used? 

[sologap]

i can pay 0.5 for any full btc blockchain database for abe (that works on windows like sqlite) this shit is very very very very slow and i cant wait 

[SIGNW]

Whatever happened to the prevout table? I just re-imported my DB from October and upgraded it and now I'm getting errors with some of my old queries? I feel like the tx_in and tx_out detail views have changed.

[Lucas0il]

Is this good software to use as a bitcoin block explorer on a web server that will get a moderate amount of traffic, or is it too slow/bulky?

If it is not good for that purpose, are there any open source alternatives?

Thanks in advance for any answers or thoughts!
