List of useful Bitcoin block explorers

[cygan]

bullrun2024bro suggested the blockchain explorer called Arkham Computer in the german thread yesterday
this specific explorer can also be used to monitor various wallets as well as transactions from various other blockchains.
i have now also taken a closer look at it and here is my rating:

Name (link)	Bech32 / Bech32m (P2TR) supported?	SegWit (P2SH) identifiable?**	Usefulness (subjective rating) ***	Works without JS?	Rated by
________________________	________________________________	_________________________	_________________________________	____________________	________________
Arkham Computer	Yes  / Yes	Yes	7 / 10 Points	?	bullrun2024bro / cygan

Thanks for mentioning my post @cygan.

Concerning the rating: I would go with a higher rating than a 7, since I am using Arkham quite frequently. Especially if you compare it to a few other explorers on the list that got a higher/same rating.

Since its a subjective rating you can of course rank it with 7 stars, just remove my name from the "rated by" area.

My subjetive rating would be an 8+, but that's only my opinion of course (and ofc, I would rate some other explorers on the list differently).

I'm not sure if we have to sign up to get access to more sets of features on its explorer, but I had no luck in finding a way that could identify Segwit addresses.
^{- BTW, it doesn't seem to work while JavaScript is turned off.}

@GazetaBitcoin
I forgot to also post an update here ^{[my post in our local thread]}, but Blockstream works without JavaScript.

Thank you cygan & bullrun for the suggestion. I added the site rated with 8. cygan, since bullrun mentioned the website first, I think it's fair to use his rating... But I thank you very much for bringing the site to our attention as well, inside the main topic.

I also made the necessary changes to the old table and also to the Romanian translation of the thread.

Maybe cygan / bullrun can tell us how they tested this...?

Thank you, SFR, I mentioned this while doing the update.

Blockstream works without JavaScript.

Thank you, SFR10! You update is now visible everywhere I could add it


I will PM also the translators to make these changes but, first, we need to know for sure if the website recognizes SegWit addresses or not...

You might consider adding BitRef.com to the list. It's an innovative Bitcoin block explorer that provides more detailed information than others, particularly when it comes to unconfirmed Bitcoin transactions. I've put a lot of effort into developing it, and I believe it is now on par with the others.

Thank you for the suggestion, cloxy! But I kindly ask you to use the format specified in OP. I mean this one:

I believe that should be it. I’m very grateful for your prompt reply. Thanks in advance!

[GazetaBitcoin]

Thank you cloxy for submitting your proposal in the proper format. Let's wait a few days before adding the proposal, thus other members have time to express their oppinions too about this new explorer. If no objections will arise, I will add the website soon.


At same time, I was waiting an answer from cygan or bullrun2020 regarding the question posted by SFR10 about Arkham website -- how did you find that it supports SegWit addresses? Is it only for registered users...?

[cloxy]

It's been over a month, so I'm raising this topic to remind about my project.

Thank you for this reminder, cloxy!

You are right, since a month passed and nobody objected, I added your website to OP and also to the old version of the table. I will update soon the Romanian version of OP as well but I need one more info from you: at the column "SegWit (P2SH) identifiable?**" you wrote only "Yes", without specifying also since when (month/year). Can you add this information as well, please, for having all the fields filled properly?

Thank you.

[cloxy]

Thank you very much!

The missing date should be:

Yes (12/2023)

Since then, we've been displaying transaction information and indicating whether a transaction uses SegWit. We also highlight transactions with mixed inputs (some SegWit, some not) where applicable.

I don't know why no point to walletexplorer.com, though I found it to be among few only (if not single one) which list addresses by wallet's public key whether legacy, native segwit or nested segwit's with of course past transactions, balances, etc.  Tell me if I am wrong

If you'd have read the comment added for that website, you could see that you risk having your IP tracked. You can read this post for understanding the decision regarding the rating of WalletExplorer.

After BTC.com successfully launched a new brand a few months back, they've now moved their explorer to a new home as well: CloverPool <sup>[considering that there's little to no difference between the current explorer and the "last archive of the previous one", I think we should stick to 1miau's ratings for this one as well]
- While we're at it, we should also keep tabs on BitcoinExplorer and Txflow [both have been unreachable for a few days].</sup>

Thank you for this new update, SFR10! I modified the name in OP, changing BTC.com with CloverPool and its new link. The change is reflected inside old version of the table and also inside the Romanian version of the topic. And I will PM soon all the translators to update their translations as well, in order to reflect the last changes.

^{- While we're at it, we should also keep tabs on BitcoinExplorer and Txflow [both have been unreachable for a few days].}

BitcoinExplorer works for me... does it work on your side as well? Also, does Txflow work now on your side? If not, I think we can eliminate this explorer...

Before anything else, I have to apologize for responding very late to your post ^{[not sure how I missed it for this long]}. Yes, BitcoinExplorer seems to also work on my side, but I think it's time to finally remove Txflow from the list.
^{- BTW, can you access "ChainFlyer" from your end?}

I found a new explorer when I was looking at another one of "Satosys's" services:

No worries, SFR10, it can happen to anyone At least, in this meanwhile, all translators updated their translations (which also took a very long time, lol).

^{- BTW, can you access "ChainFlyer" from your end?}

Yup, seems to be working... Maybe there was a glitch when you tried to access it?

Thank you for this! Let's wait some days, in case other users will share any thoughts about this explorer. In case nobody will have any objection, I will add it to OP

Thank you for the kind words
Yes, there was some issue, but I can access it now.
Well noted

I found a new explorer when I was looking at another one of "Satosys's" services:

Can somebody double check please? Something doesn't seem OK, but it may be because of some of my script/ad blockers.
But I've opened this explorer, I've seen a list of last blocks and I've clicked to see the details of the last one (in a hope to get some transactions and see how they are displayed). However, instead of the expected list.. I get a red icon and a message "Error connecting to the server".

I get a red icon and a message "Error connecting to the server".

I just get a rotating "loading" animation, so I gave up.
