Seen quite a few RVN block explorers come and go since I have been a part of RVN, as well as many that are often not up to date. I wanted a reliable and always up to date explorer for our new pool to use, so I decided to use
https://github.com/underdarkskies/ravencore which is a new and amazing project by Under (RVN Discord).
This uses Insight API and UI to give you a fast, light and easily extensible explorer.
So if you want an alternative explorer using something other then Iquidus take a look at
https://exp.virtopia.ca and bookmark it

Given that our new pool will utilize this explorer it is a priority for us to keep it running, and up to date. Being a man of few words and having a dislike for large flashy announcements I will leave it there.
Proof is in the pudding so they say!
