[ANNOUNCE] RPC Ace - a simple cut-down block explorer alternative

[h0lybyte]

I would love an option to allow the output to be in JSON form, so people can use as a makeshift API :O

It's already in my TO-DO list Can't quite say when I'll get around to release it, though, but it's coming.

Is it fully open source?
I was looking at your github and noticed it was requiring files that you dont have up there..

I am down to do the JSON for you, probably this weekend (if its all open source).

It's all open source. Easybitcoin is an external dependency and doesn't affect RPC Ace's status. Fork as you want, as long as the license is respected.

Looks good and thanks for sharing.

I don't have a dedicated VPS, but I do have a basic web host. I am trying to run a RPC Ace blockchain explorer by keeping the php files on my web host and the cryptocurrency wallet on my desktop that runs Windows 7 at home. So the RPC Ace on my web host will connect to my wallet at home and get the data like that. I'm pretty sure I configured everything correctly but RPC Ace will not connect to my wallet. The webpage is http://leechrisbrown.com/deepcoin/rpcace.php

First of all, is what I'm trying to do actually possible? If so, what am I doing wrong here? Am I missing something?

.conf file for deepcoin wallet on my desktop (the wallet is always open on my desktop):

Code:

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcallowip= The Shared IP Address found on CPanel on my webhost 
rpcthreads=1
port=22871
rpcport=22872
server=1
listen=1
txindex=1

and in rpcace.php on my web host:

Code:

$rpcHost = my ipv4 address found in ipconfig;
$rpcPort = 22872;
$rpcUser = 'user';
$rpcPass = 'pass';
$coinName = 'Deepcoin';

Thanks

Usernames and passwords that are too short don't seem to register. Try something like:

rpcuser=fedoracoinrpc
rpcpassword=7ydepugKcPc8mutWQgnzDKeN9HSFw6gnuvPUCAzZrvnD

Hmm, doesn't seem to be working, I literally used the username and password you gave me.

I get "Failed to connect. Check your coin's .conf file and your RPC parameters."

Yes, it's doable. That you can't connect could be because your coin client's RPC port might not be accessible externally - maybe you have forgotten to forward the port through your router and/or firewall on your PC. It could also be due to your web host blocking certain outgoing traffic from their PHP component, which is a pretty common practice among shared web hosts in order to avoid certain abuse.

Here's a simple test you can do to see if at least SOME outgoing traffic is allowed:

Code:

<?php
echo file_get_contents( 'http://stolendata.net/' );
?>

and in rpcace.php on my web host:

Code:

$rpcHost = my ipv4 address found in ipconfig;
$rpcPort = 22872;
$rpcUser = 'user';
$rpcPass = 'pass';
$coinName = 'Deepcoin';

I have to ask, you are quoting that IP in apostrophes or quotation marks, right? Like so: '1.2.3.4';

Also, are you sure your PC isn't connected to a local network, meaning the IP you see with ipconfig is something like 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x? If so, you can get your real external IP from sites like http://www.whatsmyip.org/ and similar.

He was putting his internal ip into the rpcPort field in rpcace.php.

Ah. Yeah I almost suspected that, just added that to my questions before you posted. I hope he got everything sorted out now.

A search feature will be useful.

Search by TXid (yes it does work with the wallets using getrawtransaction), block number (separate), block hash.

it looks quite simple indeed.
lives up to its purpose I like it

How many people know what your name means?

Does this support outputting in a JSON format, saw someone post about it a page or so ago unsure if it has/will be added?

Loving the work so far by the way!

Next release will have the JSON output feature. I'm completely swamped with work at the moment so I can't say when, but it's coming.

Awesome work! Great to hear, looking forward to it.

I am trying tally.php with viacoin but script aborts after 1200 blocks. I am wondering if someone help me on this. Viacoin didnt issue any coins in first 10000 block apart from 1st block with 10 million premine. I am thinking if there is a limit for empty rpc calls. Thanks in advance.
