[ANNOUNCE] Multi chain block explorer

[John Tobey]

It worked like a charm.  It's a bit tedious to edit the two files to change the configuration, but once done, one process updates the database adding the new chains while the other serves the web requests.  I have added both I0coin and Ixcoin this way, and it seems to go very well.

Good to hear!  If you have to switch configs often, I suggest creating two versions of abe.conf.  You can put the common parts in a third file and have both include it by "config FILE".  I've done this with HTTP and FastCGI configurations, for example.  I pass either "--config abe-http.conf" or "--config abe-fcgi.conf" to the program.  abe-http.conf and abe-fcgi.conf each contain a few file-specific directives and the line "config abe.conf" to pull in abe.conf, which contains all the common stuff such as db params and datadirs.

Thanks a lot for the great software and all the help, John.

You're welcome, and thanks for testing it out.

I've added links to your block explorer on page with solved blocks statistics in Coinotron.com
Everything works nice

Why there is no data in blockexplorer for i0coins blocks > 42789 ?

I'm glad it helps.  Unfortunately I've know today that the internet connection to the server is going to be worked on tomorrow wednesday from 0000 to 0500 (UTM), so there will be some cuts on the service.  Let's hope it's minimun.

The I0coin daemon had crashed and I hadn't realized.  I've just restarted it, so it's coming up to the current block soon.

Thanks for noticing.

Some of the chains seem to be stuck. i0coin and ixcoin for example. Are you interested in doing a devcoin block explorer?

Just ran it, all i get is scribble.

I thought I'd take a moment to mention that many of the pools that have alternate currencies mining have links for all of their block numbers that usually lead to bitcoin blockexplorers. 

I would say this is just one of the many many sloppy things on all of the mining websites that annoys me from time to time.

Almost makes me want to make my own mining pool just to clean things like this up, but I'm sure that's a lot of work, which is why I'm fine with the pools available.

Also, doublec, your pool is clearly the best, so I'm surprise everyone hasn't just switched to yours yet

I'm glad to see it added to allchains.info.  Maybe that will get it some more play.

Thanks :-D I'm hoping it gets more users too.

I'm trying to add it to my signature, but think I'm failing so far.

How do you do the link in your signature?

Do:

Code:

Awesome, think I got it!
