This has been upgraded to 0.9.6.2 - The latest Feathercoin Core production version.

This was down for 6 hours today as the daemon crashed. Back up now and fully synced.

@AcidD do you have any plans to update it to 0.13 or even 0.16?

Would be great to have a blockexplorer that can handle the coming Bech32 addresses.

Hey - it’s on my list of things to do.

I dont think my current version of insight supports Bech32 addresses or any of the cooler stuff we have going on FTC (it’s super old)

I spoke with Bush about porting the insight api but we need to port bitcore and a few other bits before it will work.

The problem for me here is time! - I just dont have it these days :(

Hi All,

This has been upgraded to Feathercoin Core 0.13.1.0 and the service has been moved to a more powerful server thanks to @ChekaZ

HTTPS certificate has been renewed as well.

What was needed to change to get it working?
As far as I know some of the RPC calls required are not available anymore with 0.13.
I never got all functions of the explorer working

@Wellenreiter - where did you get stuck ?

I just moved my code to the new server and fired it up against a 0.13 client and it worked.

In the insight-api code - Any client/daemon greater than 0.9 needs to be synced from RPC.

There’s an environment variable like FORCE_RPC_SYNC=1 that you must have set when running insight.

if it syncs from the daemon it shouldnt need all the calculations for neoscrypt as it reads the already calculated blocks from the daemon.

Yesterday I semi-ported this for Trezarcoin @ChekaZ

explorer.trezarcoin.com - over here a patch was done so that it syncs from RPC - as since it’s a custom PoS/PoW coin the node app crashes over certain things, so i did a patch to force RPC.

@acidd Will try

For testing this is what I run to start it.

export INSIGHT_NETWORK="livenet" && export INSIGHT_PUBLIC_PATH=public && export INSIGHT_FORCE_RPC_SYNC=1 && node insight.js

once it’s all working properly I make a .service file with the same parameters.

while this has been a great learning experience and fun to host for the community, I am unpinning this as we now have a full Feathercore / bitcore port thanks to @Bushstar

This was a very old repo and should no longer be used.
