      Hi All, test
      I’m running a Feathercoin full node and wanted to get more out of it so I decided to set up a Feathercoin Block Explorer + API alongside my node.

      If you would like to get your own Feathercoin Core full node up and running, see this guide:
      http://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8392/guide-build-feathercoind-v0-9-3-1-and-create-a-full-node-on-centos-7-minimal

      I’ve set up a block explorer that I’m calling fsight, it’s based off the BitPay-Insight API, but uses Feathercoin.

      Home Page: https://fsight.chain.tips
      API Page: https://fsight.chain.tips/api

      FSight is protected with SSL from LetsEncrypt.org

      Original Post:

      Since I’m running my own full node, I figure I may as well put it to good use

      http://i.snag.gy/gvvlg.jpg

      It’s currently syncing, and I had to re-index my FTC block chain.

      So far I think it looks pretty sweet. :-)

      This is running on Centos 7 Minimal and I used the iquidus explorer with a few modifications.

              Something happened last night and it stopped syncing from the block chain to the DB…currently at block 90,665

              –
              So far I can search through recent transactions if I specify a txid cos my blockchain is up-to-date

                  update…Ok so I’m failing pretty miserably at the moment.

                  the iquidus block explorer isn’t that hard to set up. The issue I have is the way it syncs to the DB. That script doesn’t work so well. after trying to sync the DB twice and almost a week later…I’ve dropped Iquidus.

                  I’m looking into the insight API/UI that sits ontop of bitcoinD. I’ve seen Lizhi has done it for block.ftc-c.com.

                  I managed to get the insight API working fine and syncing with the ftc node i have. My issue is installing the insight UI ontop of that. and my experience with node js is very minimal…

                  This is hard.

                    Maybe I spoke to soon. I started from the ground up this morning.

                    1 - new Centos 7 Minimal Installation
                    2 - git clone master branch insight API and insight UI from:
                    https://github.com/bitcoin-blockexplorer/insight-frontend.git
                    https://github.com/bitcoin-blockexplorer/insight-api.git

                    3 - fucked around with node JS and painfully edited the front-end, replacing BTC/Bitcoin branding with FTC/Feathercoin branding.
                    4 - commented out the currency dropdown menu. (it’s nice to have but I’m not a developer/dont have the brains to dive into that)
                    5 - edited these two files
                    /insight-api/config/config.js
                    /insight-api/node_modules/bitcore/networks.js

                    For networks.js I had to find the the necessary information for the FTC genesis block and some other details. .< That stumped me for ages until I remembered FTC shares the same genesis block as LTC…the below seems to have worked.

                    exports.livenet = {
                    name: 'livenet',
                    magic: hex('fbc0b6db'),
                    addressVersion: 0x30,
                    privKeyVersion: 0xb0,
                    P2SHVersion: 5,
                    hkeyPublicVersion: 0x0488c42e,
                    hkeyPrivateVersion: 0x0488e1f4,
                    genesisBlock: {
                      hash: hex('E2BF047E7E5A191AA4EF34D314979DC9986E0F19251EDABA5940FD1FE365A712'),
                      merkle_root: hex('D9CED4ED1130F7B7FAAD9BE25323FFAFA33232A17C3EDF6CFD97BEE6BAFBDD97'),
                       height: 0,
                       nonce: 2084524493,
                       version: 1,
                       prev_hash: buffertools.fill(new Buffer(32), 0),
                       timestamp: 1317972665,
                       bits: 504365040,
                     },
                    

                    So far in two separate terminals i’m running these commands to start the two services (API and front-end UI)
                    I have both the API and UI downloaded like so

                    /root/insight/insight-api
                    /root/insight/insight-frontend

                    The two commands are

                    INSIGHT_NETWORK=“livenet” INSIGHT_PUBLIC_PATH=public node insight.js

                    INSIGHT_PUBLIC_PATH=insight-frontend/public grunt

                    both need to be run from their own directory.


                    Anyways…I digress… http://i.snag.gy/hribQ.jpg

                    it’s synced around 10% of the FTC block chain.

                    I need to redo a few things so that the API and Front-end run as services and then i’m all good :-)

                      I might write a tutorial if there’s enough interest…this was a pain in the ass but a fun learning experience.

                        I have to say I like the look of the other one better but this isnt bad at all.

                            Thanks guys.
                            I’ve added an updating chart using some simple javascipt to get the current mining difficulty.

                            http://i.snag.gy/sJLv8.jpg

                            @lizhi, I’ve just noticed you’re using a Bushtars fork of insight…which I never knew existed! I assume all the config for featherCoin is already done ? …Maybe I should switch over.

                            I used used the fork from Block-Explorer…and then painfully edited…

                                      https://github.com/bitcoin-blockexplorer/insight-api.git

                                      I had to edit a lot of configs and whatnot to make it work with FTC. it runs on node.js but it doesnt seem so stable. but my knowledge of nodeJS is limited.

                                        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

                                          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.
