Project Information
Based on the STEEM explorer made by @JGA, It is the first graphical interface to interact with the REV-Coin blockchain, you can visit it Here: dev.rockdio.org/revex
Also we made a lot of improvements in the repository of the main project documentation (It is worth a read)
Project status: WORK in PROGRESS
The explorer is still basic, but we just wanted to provide something with a graphical interface for comfort while working with the blockchain.
Some tweaking was required to make it work with HF 0.2.09
Libraries for the blockchain:
I consider priority to work on the python and JS libraries,
STEEM-python: the STEEM-Python official has an undocumented bug where when not specifying a custom-json, nor tags list, nor category it will fail made a issue report on their repo I am thinking of better documenting the requirement of using one of those and i saw that the tags var in posts should be a list was finally documented (almost cried 2 years ago trying to figure that one out)
There are a few other bugs linked to not using properly the chains.py known_chains when evaluating assets in the library those were fixed quick and dirty using our own assests but we will to a better work to update the official library.
dSteem: after some fiddling once again not considering dynamic management of ASSETs it is working now.
Both libraries will be added to our repo unless we commit solutions for the original libraries. (for the time being quick and dirty, but at least is been documented.)
Challenge
Its been a challenge to isolate what are errors caused by the blockchain implementation, which ones are caused by oversights or bugs in the libraries, and what works and what not.
I have been trying to send some of the premine to the null account to burn it and keep facing the invalid account error, both from the cli_wallet and from python lib. (the temp account wont work neither)
I have tried double quoting the word null, escaping it with \ nothing always the same error... It even occurred to me that i needed to actually create the account, but the node told that it already exists... I wonder how steemit did... (Anyone?)
Now some pictures so your eyes don't bleed...
The actual EXPLORER !
The landing page shows blocks as they are generated by the witnesses in real time, I gotta admit is expensive on RPC requests but looks satisfying.
There is no navigation or search feature yet, but if you have an account and want to see you details just add to the URL: #/@sharon and you land in that user detail's page.
TO-DO: Search and navigation @cryptosharon get a hint ;)
