Splendid explorer
thank-you!
Is there any information from the developer?
donations will be more !!!
what sort of information are you looking for?
last october i took the 1.6 version of Iquidus from
https://github.com/iquidus/explorer(which has since been updated a lot by it's developer)
and added features/changes that i personally wanted from an explorer -- at the time of my
decision to do so that Iquidus explorer looked completely dead in the water for future development, it was a surprise
to me that they woke up and did a newer version at the end of last year.
Iquidus is used by a lot of coins as an explorer, but i've always found it a bit minimal.
Of course some people think minimal is a good thing. There is no doubt my changes added a lot of system overhead and resource usage the original Iquidus does not consume. It also puts out a lot more data making it rather unsuitable for people with expensive mobile data connections.
my focus was on the 'metrics' (richlist) page, i wanted more than one kind of list, longer lists, and pretty charts.
i also wanted the ability to 'trace back' transaction inputs to do simple forensic tracing of curious transactions (forensics not motivated by MetalMusicCoin but by other coins i dabbled in.)
I did explorers for several coins, each who's blockchain found problems and bugs in the explorer code.
here is an example of such a transaction input traceback:

all this is currently running on my personal Linux system and i'm constantly running out of disk space, so you may see the explorer not updating for a few days sometimes until i notice and make more room for it.
i'm planning on paying for a VPS to host this modified explorer for any coins that want to pay me real money for such a service.
but for now, its basically a lower priority personal amusement and hobby in my spare time.
i also added some built-in "help" documentation. although it is very minimal at this time and will accept suggestions on what
type of things could use some documentation.
if you click on the tiny question-mark icon on the bottom left of the main page, you will see what little documentation is
available, and the first item is the "Change log."
eventually, when i find time to clean up my own coding and remove a lot of dead-end experimental code i will make the source available.
