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!

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...?
