List of useful Bitcoin block explorers

[GazetaBitcoin]

- can you add the comment of cryptoID to the old table as well? (I added it to the Romanian old table)

Nice suggestion, I've added it.

Awesome!

- Learnmeabitcoin, CoinCap and Localbitcoinschain.com should be deleted also from the old table (I deleted them already from the Romanian old table)

It's deleted now.

Okay

Very good detection. (igel eyes  )
For consistency, adding a date here, like all entries so far, is very important, of course.
I've added a date now.  

Thanks! I also added the elimination dates for the 3 sites.

Done and it's a good idea to add it but most likely, the result won't be very representative because most votes are already submitted due to one vote for each Bitcointalk account. Maybe we can screenshot the poll, save it, reset it and start it again. We might run it 1 year (or 2 years) and will see how the public opinion has (possibly) shifted.

Seeing Woodie's suggestion made me realize that the poll contains 3 websites which were moved to the eliminated ones, therefore I believe they should not be part of the poll anymore: SmartBit, Coinmarketcap Block Explorer and Bitcoin.com.

Besides, if I remember well, this poll contained initially all the explorers listed when OP was created. Since then many other websites were added. Perhaps the poll should contain now also the other explorers added?

It's a really difficult decision and maybe, our best solution is, if we do it like that:

First step: screenshot the current poll and save it (normal picture or even archive)
Second step: reset it and start it again, where we will add all current sites and remove inactive sites.

Because changing a bit of it now will invalidate the poll, when old votes are getting removed and some people already submitted their votes but would vote for new Blockexplorers now, instead.

I think that is best decision, since having in the poll eliminated websites is not useful at all. So let's do it like this then

Name (link)	Bech32 / Bech32m (P2TR) supported?	SegWit (P2SH) identifiable?*	Usefulness (subjective rating )	Rated by	Comments
__________________________	____________________________	_______________________	_______________________________	________________	_________________________________________________________________
AnonTransfer	Yes (10/2023) / No (10/2023)	No (10/2023)	2 / 10 Points	SFR10	Restrictive navigation

Additional notes:
This explorer is one of the many products on the above website and it's still evolving ^[source]... For the time being, it doesn't have an easy way to see the details of a block ^{[we have to manually add the block hash to he following link (for some reason, using the block height in the following spaces results into inaccurate data for the block hash)]}:

Code:

https://anontransfer.com/explorer/block/btc/COPY BLOCK HASH HERE

[1miau]

Code:

https://anontransfer.com/explorer/block/btc/COPY BLOCK HASH HERE

Interesting discovery but like you've said very difficult to navigate and not even suited for normal checks like we know from common Block explorers.
Still, I've added it to our list and I've also linked your post in my OP (behind SFR10).

In addition, I've updated my code in the OP as what's been still there until now was still for the old version. It's updated now.

I of all the people shouldn't be the one suggesting this 

Should Arkham Intelligence explorer also be considered a Bitcoin block explorer?
The service is controversial and not popular among some individuals who value privacy so much because they feel it promotes doxxing.

Here is how it looks like when exploring
1. A Bitcoin address
https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/address/3C7wiajXmLyUAWYa8c9dsyJ5sUkGt59mCc

2. A transaction address
https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/tx/0e25200fd306ee0429e72b5c8f357eea026050502b4056042146f0726cf403b8

Advantage:
1. consists of a graphical transactions' visualizer between addresses.

Disadvantages
1. Promotes doxxing
2. Doesn't show technical details like size of the transaction, transaction fee rate in sats/byte

[1miau]

The service is controversial and not popular among some individuals who value privacy so much because they feel it promotes doxxing.

If it's not very beneficially for our Bitcointalk community in general, we are better to keep it off of our list?
At least I can see more reasons to avoid listing it.
We have a big list already, so there are plenty sites to choose from.

But of course, if someone wants to list it and provides a good argument, we can consider to list it.

+1 for your effort to translate and publish my topic on your local board. 

[Publictalk792]

I have translated your topic in my local language and posted in my local board thread. You can check it here. You should update translation part of your post.

Here is my post link:

In addition, I've updated my code in the OP as what's been still there until now was still for the old version. It's updated now. 

Can you pinpoint the changes, please? Thus I make sure I also add them to the Romanian translation.

How does it promote doxxing? Oo This is first time I hear something like this from a block explorer.

But of course, if someone wants to list it and provides a good argument, we can consider to list it. 

I highly doubt that anyone would suggest to list a website which promotes doxxing Oo

[1miau]

I have translated your topic in my local language and posted in my local board thread. You can check it here. You should update translation part of your post.

And you should request a translation and wait for an official permission to translate it before finally translating it.  
The community will check your translation later, see my announcement:

@everyone
I'm getting bombarded with translation requests today, really doesn't look legitimate and therefore I've locked all of my topics for now to ensure all translations are good quality.
I'll set up a topic like discussed above in Meta or in Reputation, where everyone can give his 2 cents about a translation and only in case several DT members from each local board in question will approve it, I'll give out a reward and add these approved translations to my list.
Low quality will be rejected.
Massive and / or repeated abuse due to low quality translations might lead to a trust entry.

I'll link my topic here, when I'm ready but could take a while, probably early next week.  

In addition, I've updated my code in the OP as what's been still there until now was still for the old version. It's updated now.  

Can you pinpoint the changes, please? Thus I make sure I also add them to the Romanian translation.

I've just changed the code part:

Sure? Probably, we have some rats in the forum.

The community will check your translation later, see my announcement:

I didn't see this post. Well, I have translated you two topics and already posted. And I think I have helped my community members. Because I just used simple language. Now I have posted so you may verify and can approve.
I am sure it will be verified by my community members. But if they will not verify so you can ignore. Because I didn't know about your recent post which you have mentioned.

It's common sense to request a translation first and wait for approval to avoid any confusions.
Imagine, everyone starts translating the same topic at once, same language. Someone finishes his translation first and for all the other people translating meanwhile your language, it's a wasted time because all of their translations are useless now because it's already translated. And they can't know who's translating already because no request was submitted.
By requesting + reserving a translation, we will avoid such mistakes. 

At least, now you know.

Bitcointalk's community members will need to approve it because I'm not a native speaker of your language.
We have many complaints already about fraudulent translations and we will check every translation in detail for it's legitimacy.

What a kind words you used to teach sir. By the way I understood your point of view in the first post and now you explain much.
Next time I will keep in mind. But now I have posted and already got a merit from DT member (second one he didn't read I think so). Because I didn't use any translator. I translated your two posts. That two posts took 4 hours.

Exactly like you given an example of waste of time.
By the way that was my first time. I just searched your topic in my local language and didn't see in my language.
 Your all posts are informative when I read this post. I felt that it should be shared in my local community it will really help my community members. So I just started to translate and it took almost 2hours(one post).
By the way again Thanks for teaching. Will try my best to follow the rules of translation next time.

Bitcointalk's community members will need to approve it because I'm not a native speaker of your language.

I understood your point. Next time I will be careful. Now have posted so I apologize if you will say I will delete the posts but I think these shouldn't be deleted.

Again and again thanks for your kind words.  

[1miau]

Now have posted so I apologize if you will say I will delete the posts but I think these shouldn't be deleted.

No need to delete your translations, we'll review them and if it's a legitimate translation, you'll get a reward and I'll add your translations to my OP. But for any possible next translation, no matter if one of my topics or from someone else, you know it's important to request an official permission first for your translation in each original topic.

I come back to this post as I finally had some time to investigate the needed changes for the Romanian translation of OP.

However, I don't see any change that I should make... This is how Romanian translation looks like: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5268520.

1miau, are you so kind, please, to help me a little with those changes that I should do?

AnonTransfer

honestly, Anon doesn't even deserve a 0 rating. It is overloaded with advertisements, even a popup that appears by clicking on the menu item. On https://blog.anontransfer.com/  there is a "Hello World" message You can back to the site by clicking on the logo at the top... Truly amateur.

If I may ask, why is it important to have this information with the date in brackets?
Is that the time when some explorer implemented support for a certain type of address?
