Fsight closed - Now explorer.feathercoin.com

Wellenreiter

I never got the insight explorer running :(
It has a nice Web interface, but I switched to the Abe one, as that one runs on top of Apache and mysql.

If you get your one stable I’m happy to switch to the Insight explorer on explorer.feathercoin.com

@Wellenreiter

I swear @Bushstar ported an older version of insight for FTC - check his github. I think Lizhi uses that code.

Hi All

This has been up and down for a few months now. I’ve redone the config and a proper proxy etc.

http://fsight.chain.tips/

next steps are to add HTTPS and possibly move it to a bigger VPS if there’s a considerable increase in traffic.

I also want to add google analytics or something similar to it.

@aciddude cool :-)

December 2016 Updates:

Updated/Refreshed colour scheme to match Feathercoin forum (mainly to move away from the default green)
Modified code to show a Decoded Version of the block info so we can read OP_RETURN (Comments on the Blockchain)

Read a comment on the block chain:

1 - Find a transaction with a comment, example below

2 - Click the plus + button on the Transation (under Details) and scroll down.

You should see:

More December updates:

Added SSL from LetsEncrypt.org
Automated redirect from HTTP to HTTPS
Disabled SSLv3
added Google Analytics for fun :-)

The Qualys SSL Labs gives me an A :-) !! WOOP!

I used the CertBot application to automatically deploy the LetsEncrypt SSL Certificate to my Apache Config
https://certbot.eff.org/#centosrhel7-apache

https://letsencrypt.org/

Took about 15 mins reading and 15 mins implementation time to get the site secured with SSL.
Their certificates expire every 90 days…BUT! CertBot provides a script which you add to a cron job that automatically updates it for you. Amazing!

Great work :)

Hi All,

This has also been added to CoinMarketCap.com under “Explorer 2” :-) !!!

First use of your great tool today.

Very good job !!!

Top right of the screen there is a drop down that allows you to choose between FTC, USD, etc. I dont think the USD is working correctly. It must be pulling the Bitcoin price still rather than Feathercoin.

Thanks for flagging this. I’ve fixed the code now.

Now when you select USD from the drop down menu it shows the correct amounts in US Dollars

The price is from CoinMarketCap.com

More updates:
Uptime and HTTPS monitoring has added.

I’ll get an email alerts if fsight goes down.

This has now been updated to v0.9.6
https://fsight.chain.tips/status

Edit:
I’ve also updated the main/home page with a link to the Feathercoin Github Release page as well as notifying visitors that 0.9.6 has been released.

I hope you don’t mind but I’ve added chain.tips to the moneywagon project:

https://github.com/priestc/moneywagon/commit/eeb04149f5848307a38d5032e4b5386c3b8e27c1

Now feathercoin is supported in Multiexplorer wallet too! https://multiexplorer.com/wallet

FTC was supported a while ago via the ftc-c insight instance, but that instance stopped working at some point in thime so I had to remove FTC support. Its nice to get FTC back again!

AcidD

@priestc - NP - Happy to see our public blockchain service being used.

===
FYI This went down earlier today. It will be back up shortly.

The SSL Certificate has been renewed - it Expired a few days ago and users would have gotten an SSL warning when visiting the Block Explorer. Resolved now.

Updates:
Homepage has been updated. I’ve removed the 0.9.6 release announcement and I’ve added “Current Mining Difficulty” to the front page

I’m sure I can throw some Javascript or Jquery together for that live difficulty chart. Did you really find it useful though ? or is it more of a “nice to have”
