I use btc-rpc-explorer

Question: Is there an open-source implementation of the blockchain dot info public API that I could run on a private server? Looking for something that can get current head block, retrieve blocks, and get transaction history by address as parsed JSON blobs that are both human and machine readable. Any options?

I know it does not make sense to mine btc with a gpu nowadays, but just to settle my curiosity, because I have access to a few at work. I am probably not allowed to test them on this though, hence the question :)

anti forking culture is mostly about consensus rules, and even consensus code, but not about ui

Bitcoin Dev

I am sure the right answer for me is the second option. I do not want to fork core, and as in the philosophy of Bitcoin, want CONSENUS from my proposals from the main network. Forking is the last thing I want to do. I would like that people can CHOOSE whether the classic UI or the "user friendly UI" that way more people use core, not only devs. Also I believe the more people use Core the more people will move away from Centralized exchanges which are the opposite of the concept bitcoin was made for (decentralizing currency)

i think you have to decide first what you want to do; core for normies, or just work with core and make its industrial design less ugly?

Bitcoin Dev

its like trying to explain it to linux people that terminal is not really the ui 😁

Bitcoin Dev

20 Jan 2021 16:41

i mean you should still try to speak with core devs about it for sure, maybe there is an apetite for the rewrite, who knows?

Bitcoin Dev

20 Jan 2021 16:39

It is ugly right now. That's exactly what I meant, to make a NICE industrial design

Okay, this fork would have:
- Hardware wallet integration
- Max speed throttling
- cold storage multisig BlueMachine 😂
- Secure auto-updates

Bitcoin Dev

20 Jan 2021 16:38

bitcoin core needs to add cold storage multisig into the GUI, that is the most important thing.

Bitcoin Dev

20 Jan 2021 16:37

at least for a start; yes

Not sure what the process would be to convince core devs to have alternative ui as first class citizen; you probably need code first before they would take you seriously.

If we are talking normie core version, i would like to see one installed over stores (more secure binary delivery for normies to not miss the update links or get phished into updating via malware site)
Second i would like to see UI exposed setting to reduce network resources (i guess reduce the number of peers, if there is no better way), because currently core just kills the net for many people, if they run it in the background like they do with torrent software.
Third, a good hardware wallets integration.

Help please: How can I post a question that won't get deleted? I'm assuming a bot is killing my question for containing "links" but the question involves a curl command and contents of bitcoin conf file that contain localhost URLS, and my post keeps getting deleted. I tried putting spaces between the dots... question still gets killed.

Blockstream-esplora (blockstream dot info) is open-source, but it's heavy as hell

Bitcoin Dev

you can try something like nicehash, they pick the chain for you and send you back bitcoin

Does anyone have an idea what hashrate one could get on a Tesla V100 GPU?

forking core for ui is not a grave sin :D

There's this https://specter.solutions/

Bitcoin Dev

20 Jan 2021 16:43

just kidding, but there is some reluctance to make core for normies, mainly because that would mean people would be more dependent on just running it and never verifying anything

Bitcoin Dev

20 Jan 2021 16:42

Bro do you even trickle?

Bitcoin Dev

20 Jan 2021 16:40

Why would it be hard, who would be against such an "improvement"? does it take away from Satoshi's pure code if we make it more appealing/user friendly?

Bitcoin Dev

20 Jan 2021 16:39

i think core itself kinda wants to be a an industrial piece of software - of course that doesn't mean the ui needs to be ugly, but i would asume it would be an uphill battle to get full integration for new UI

once its fully featured you might go back and seek its full integration

Bitcoin Dev

20 Jan 2021 16:37

So you are basically saying, it would indeed be a good idea to make a fork, and then make that fork the normie fork (But still full node, non custodial like core)

Bitcoin Dev

Hi everyone, I have an idea that will help the bitcoin community and all its users. I want to build a much more user friendly interface for bitcoin core. Some people would call it "normie" but really is so bitcoin core can compete with all other wallets (while remaining the best non custodial). I do not want to fork bitcoin core, ideally it should allow people to choose whether to use the "New UI" or "Classic UI" (today's).

I will use my connections and everything to do it, and at first I will make a test version and post it here and github and see what you think. Ideally we should integrate it inside bitcoin core and NOT fork it. I am open to all suggestions and here for feedback before I go ahead with it
