[Official Support Thread] Goochain : search engine for the Bitcoin blockchain

[the_beast]

I haven't so much communicate about Goochain using this channel recently.

Just a bump up to tell you about new features:
- HD Wallet import tools (various models: Trezor, Ledger). See dedicated page
- ProofOfExistence transactions detected (when a tx is that kind, it shows a dedicated icon)
- Multi-paper wallet support: now accepts several addresses separated by comma.

Also we manage some slight graphical clean up on transactions listing.

Check out the new slide to see a quick presentation about Goochain service.

- ProofOfExistence transactions detected

Very cool - looks like GooChain is slowly but surely becoming a bit of a hub for determining ID-based service relationships to addresses and transactions

I'm considering to write up a dedicated topic for that product soon.

Scalability: still shokes on, for instance, 1NxaBCFQwejSZbQfWcYNwgqML5wWoE3rK4

Yes, we're aware of this issue. Any address with more than 100'000 transactions are currently not working.
Unfortunately, we haven't spent so much ressources so far to handle that issue. We are working on a new internal system that will give soon, the basic info for every single addresses. As a first step, that still won't allow searching in "heavy" addresses. Then, we have some ways to improve the rest. Anyway there are lot of corner cases which are not easy to solve.

Any particular reason off-the-shelf tools such as Coinbase's Toshi or Bitpay's Insight are not suited to your use-case? They happily allow that kind of query right away and run fine on an average computer.

Well, if you try Insight with the address you gave, it won't show anything at all. Toshi is far better, but it needs lots of disk space and a really high-end server machine.
