Bitnodes

The node software following BOLT specifications of Lightning Network Ptarmigan’s long-term plans include specialization in a node with the ability to operate on small hardware. We are thrilled with the possibilities of improvements to future social structure with the use of embedded micro-payment features of Bitcoin/Tokens into an IoT. Communication is possible with other node software in compliance with BOLT. Combined with the second layer solution, blockchain technology is more suitable for practical use. In the case of Bitcoin, Lightning Network enables real-time transactions in conjunction with small payments for Bitcoin users. Lightning Network has the potential to process multiple transactions. In the future, when devices are enabled to exchange money, data, rights, and other various items with other devices, Lightning Network will play a critical role.

This is a self-hosted explorer for the Bitcoin blockchain, driven by RPC calls to your own Bitcoin node. It is easy to run and can be connected to other tools (like Electrum servers) to achieve a full-featured explorer. Whatever reasons you may have for running a full node (trustlessness, technical curiosity, supporting the network, etc) it's valuable to appreciate the fullness of your node. With this explorer, you can explore not just the blockchain database, but also explore all of the functional capabilities of your own node. View details of blocks, transactions, and addresses. Analysis tools for viewing stats on blocks, transactions, and miner activity. See raw JSON content from bitcoind used to generate most pages. Search by transaction ID, block hash/height, and address. Optional transaction history for addresses by querying from Electrum-protocol servers. Mempool summary, with fee, size, and age breakdowns.
