@khal - thank you for implementing this. Extremely useful.

khal, any info about the explorer implementation? Plans to release source? Is it running on any merged mining chains?

I just added merge-mining support to Abe. Abe however currently lacks NMC-specific features such as coins destroyed. Care to help me add them?

Cheers,
John

First update to support "merged mining" on testnet :
=> http://testnet.explorer.dot-bit.org/

It would be useful if the namecoin block explorer showed the block nVersion. This would allow us to see what % of the mining power is using the merged mining patches.

Added on the testnet explorer.

I think it is using 16 bits and maxing out at 32767, but nVersion is 32 bits. Even better is using hex: new namecoin block version is 0x10001 if it is a parent and 0x10101 if aux.

http://testnet.explorer.dot-bit.org/ is looking good!

Would it be possible to add a 'view Raw block' function? That'll make it easier for everyone to examine all the nitty-gritty of the generated mergedmined blocks.

Abe now shows the testnet. I didn't add "native" support due to a collision with Bitcoin testnet's magic number, but I added a config example.

I've also implemented network fee deduction from the statistics (coins outstanding and coin-days). With this change, Namecoin's coin-days destroyed ratio exceeds Bitcoin's. (%CoinDD is a measure of money velocity.)

Only 2 of the last 400 blocks in the main chain set version&0x10000. Not looking good for merged mining adoption! C'mon folks, we need this!

How's your Python?

Its look like a great tool but is it behind on the transactions ? I see no new transactions ??

The block count matches my Namecoin-Qt client. So it looks fine to me.

Hey, how dificult would be to show confirmations for each transaction?? I think it would be extremely useful for users checking transfers to sites that require X confirmations. I would like to help if you want... I have been working in web development some years, since 4 years ago developing firmware but can do context switch after work...
