I am extremely behind in getting a new announcement thread going. That's 100% on me but I do hope to have something soon.

However, all the information you need is in this thread.

Thanks,

The explorer is down.

The explorer is down.

What?  How dare you say such things!  BLASPHEMER!  YOU SHALL BE COVERED IN SAUCE AND....oh wait, you're right, it is down.

No it's not. (now)

I have also discovered that the main difference between a $14.95 wireless router that you pick up at WalMart and a $549.99 SonicWall is.... $535.04
The quality of the hardware is about the same.

LOL that reads like the plot of a godly soup opera

[honglu69]

The blockchain explorer is up now.  The ShorelineCrypto exchange NDL icon/logo use the explorer picture URL.  It was easy to tell that on explorer issue by the exchange NDL logo.

I ll make things clear, its my job. Block explorer is down since yesterday morning, this is because I had to run some checks and fixes since I aspire to making the network and software safe for use and immune to bruteforce attacks. Next thing I wanted to tell ye is, my hindlegs just failed to hit the ground, and I found myself falling like a rock in some sort of well. Im typing this post while traveling down the endless pit with only darkness ahead.

No, the explorer was never down. As honglu69 said above, it's easy to check because the exchange NDL icon is pulled from there.

The Syncing was paused, that was on me, as the node it was attached to was not talking to the rest of the world. I was working on setting up a pool and managed to do something that caused all my local nodes to pause. But internally all looked good. Have to play more with that this weekend.

an alternate ndl explorer.

some folks may recall i've been running an ndl explorer at my site.
being on a home/consumer grade connection it will never be prime time material.
it may not be accessible to all people (some network border gateways appear to block http traffic to addresses
 they consider consumer/home type)

buttt... since it's not the 'official' explorer, playing and fooling around with it is a great option

anyone good with Pasta and/or Pirate phraseology i ask to make recommendations to me on
how i can modify the english text displayed on the explorer pages to be more noodly groovy.

i've made some simplistic changes already, feel free to suggest improvements to those as well.

explorer is at http://coins.dognose.net:3001/

suggestions could be made by direct message here, or by clicking on the red "report issues" link
at the bottom of the explorer pages.

thank-you, may your meatballs be touched by his noodly appendage.

I like the new text on the explorer.

I never actually look at the main explorer except to see if it's running, while poking around yours I noticed that someone back in February moved 1 billion coins to a single address. The other billion coin address has been inactive for close to 3 years now. Is it yours?

Not a lot of people active on here so it's probably a limited number of who would have done it. I didn't go back and trace the coins history.

not mine, perhaps Chicago's? he was active back then.

i used to have a billion noodle address but i broke it up across several other ones to appear less obvious
the inactive billion i just assume is from the original coin creator, never took the time to track initial disbursements pass about 5 levels.

only 2/3rds of the distribution is in the top 500.
many other obscure altcoins i've looked at are closer to 90% in the top 500.
so, we are actually quite well off for a healthier than usual obscure altcoin distribution.

by the way dave, check out my explorer on port :3003  and see how terrible that coin's distribution is

unfortunately since i'm on a home/consumer internet connection i cant really make a lot of noise advertising their existence.

Not mine either - I haven't moved anything in years.

OK then it has to be someone from the old days.
Makes you wonder why they are silent about it. One day when I have they mythical thing called free time I'll have to go and see where the coins came from.

Since we had easy self mining till the new wallet it's probably not going to reveal much.

They might be noticing the activity on https://shorelinecrypto.com/market/DOGE-NDL

It looks like there's standing orders to purchase over 11 billion NDL (almost everything that's been mined).  Though those orders aren't offering very much in return so I doubt they'll come to fruition.

By my back of the napkin math there are offers to buy over 15 billion NDL which even at the end will be more then the total supply of 13.798 billion.

So, yeah they are never getting filled.....

I don't doubt it; once I got to over 11 billion I stopped counting the additional amounts.

i've enabled Markets information in my explorer.

does anyone know why altexchanger created a BTC market for us rather than something more affordable like Doge or LTC ?

happy canadian thanksgiving, may your noodles and meatballs be plentiful and juicy.


ps: scroll to the bottom of the Buy/Sell columns for shorlinecrypto to see grand totals

i've enabled Markets information in my explorer.

i'm also completely rebuilding the database because i fumbled a manual attempt to change a table definition in the database.
oops

Maybe altexchanger thinks more highly of us than we do of ourselves?  Right or wrong, I, myself, was excited to see it as BTC.

lol...

so i decided to implement a 'poorlist' display in my iquidus explorer code.
(aka Scurvied )


it revealed an interesting address
  NRwgBBzi54psLTNYT6TcMBUtvsLnALifzK

i really do hope its just a precision error in iquidus totalling things up.
otherwise in the FSM blockchain universe a rip has occured in the space around that address.

but if the FSM decrees it, so be it

you can enter that address in the official explorer too and see the same result (hint: balance)
      http://explorer.noodlyappendagecoin.net/address/NRwgBBzi54psLTNYT6TcMBUtvsLnALifzK

you can check out other scurvy dawgs at
  http://coins.dognose.net:3001/richlist

ps:
  i didnt implement the poorlist because i really thought people cared about addresses with dusty amounts, but rather to actually test for glitches in Iquidus code and/or reveal oddities in blockchains.
when i extended the size of the richlist up from 100 to 500 a few bugs were definitely revealed -- and probably why nobody ever increased that size before
the poorlist has already revealed, via significant negative balances, to me something i didnt expect it to reveal -- one blockchain i support i needed to run an Iquidus 'check' (addmissing) because the original database build failed on fetching some blocks (one of the very big weaknesses in the original Iquidus code.) the missing transactions in the database are what led to the negative balances. on very large/old blockchains a sysadmin tends to avoid running a 'check/addmissing' because it takes a long long time and prevents current updates from being done.

i actually support more than one obscure altcoin, and it has occured to me that there is no tool for 'average' crypto users to look at and determine the overall 'quality' of a coin's blockchain when making investment or divestment decisions.
or perhaps when an altcoin scandal is in the news and people are just curious to look for themselves.
i'm sure coders who do blockchain forensics in their sleep have all kinds of tools and scripts up their sleeves, but the average investor and news reader person really is in the dark and too reliant on what others say in forums.

i also plan on in the future implementing address grouping (showing all addresses likely owned by one person) and could likely be most useful in studying the activities of a crypto exchange or pool. again, something blockchain forensic nerds do all the time.

shady operators will never use my resulting Iquidus version
they're probably already avoiding the original Iquidus. one coin i'm into uses Abe explorer, while giving a rich listing does NOT give the in-your-face summary and graphic of the distribution of the richlist like Iquidus would.
it is very bad for a coin that old Abe is a wise choice for them...

let me know if there is any type of info hiding in a blockchain you think would be useful to people in general, either easily viewed or summarized in some way.

[number435398]

Regarding NRwgBBzi54psLTNYT6TcMBUtvsLnALifzK, if you manually look at the balances on the explorer, the total balance is supposed to be -0.00000003, not -0.00000002.  The whole issue resembles a rounding issue on the explorer.
