This explorer is forked from Luke's Explorer v1.6.1 (https://github.com/iquidus/explorer) with a bit of flavoring from https://github.com/masterhash-us/Explorer, which seems to be gone now.

- Added integration with custom Linda wallet RPC masternode commands.
- Added Linda Masternodes update/cleanup script in native node.js
An open source block explorer written in node.js.
- node.js >= 0.10.28
- mongodb 2.6.x
- *coind
Enter MongoDB cli:
$ mongo
Create databse:
> use explorerdb
Create user with read/write access:
> db.createUser( { user: "iquidus", pwd: "3xp!0reR", roles: [ "readWrite" ] } )
*note: If you're using mongo shell 2.4.x, use the following to create your user:
> db.addUser( { user: "username", pwd: "password", roles: [ "readWrite"] })
git clone https://github.com/nibbles83/LindaExplorer
cd explorer && npm install --production
cp ./settings.json.template ./settings.json
Make required changes in settings.json
npm start
NODE_ENV=production npm start
note: mongod must be running to start the explorer
As of version 1.4.0 the explorer defaults to cluster mode, forking an instance of its process to each cpu core. This results in increased performance and stability. Load balancing gets automatically taken care of and any instances that for some reason die, will be restarted automatically. For testing/development (or if you just wish to) a single instance can be launched with
node --stack-size=10000 bin/instance
To stop the cluster you can use
npm stop
sync.js (located in scripts/) is used for updating the local databases. This script must be called from the explorers root directory.
Usage: node scripts/sync.js [database] [mode]
database: (required)
index [mode] Main index: coin info/stats, transactions & addresses
market Market data: summaries, orderbooks, trade history & chartdata
mode: (required for index database only)
update Updates index from last sync to current block
check checks index for (and adds) any missing transactions/addresses
reindex Clears index then resyncs from genesis to current block
notes:
* 'current block' is the latest created block when script is executed.
* The market database only supports (& defaults to) reindex mode.
* If check mode finds missing data(ignoring new data since last sync),
index_timeout in settings.json is set too low.
It is recommended to have this script launched via a cronjob at 1+ min intervals.
crontab
Example crontab; update index every minute and market data every 2 minutes
*/1 * * * * cd /path/to/explorer && /usr/bin/nodejs scripts/sync.js index update > /dev/null 2>&1
*/2 * * * * cd /path/to/explorer && /usr/bin/nodejs scripts/sync.js market > /dev/null 2>&1
*/2 * * * * cd /path/to/explorer && /usr/bin/nodejs scripts/rewards.js update > /dev/null 2>&1
*/5 * * * * cd /path/to/explorer && /usr/bin/nodejs scripts/peers.js > /dev/null 2>&1
The below crontab entry populates the database using rpc command "masternode status-all". This RPC is custom made and will only work when built from my Linda wallet repository (https://github.com/nibbles83/Linda). Future official Linda version may also contain something similar.

Iquidus Explorer is intended to be generic so it can be used with any wallet following the usual standards. The wallet must be running with atleast the following flags
-daemon -txindex
Nibbles Address LINDA: LYbCX9gmBdAJXWGrnoKkZb1xWR5ixBAemY BTC: 37UjqmVFXAxYxcQUGk9ayDvCHgdCQGPe7R
Lukes Addresses BTC: 168hdKA3fkccPtkxnX8hBrsxNubvk4udJi JBS: JZp9893FMmrm1681bDuJBU7c6w11kyEY7D (no longer valid, use BTC address)
script is already running.
If you receive this message when launching the sync script either a) a sync is currently in progress, or b) a previous sync was killed before it completed. If you are certian a sync is not in progress remove the index.pid from the tmp folder in the explorer root directory.
rm tmp/index.pid
exceeding stack size
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
Nodes default stack size may be too small to index addresses with many tx's. If you experience the above error while running sync.js the stack size needs to be increased.
To determine the default setting run
node --v8-options | grep -B0 -A1 stack_size
To run sync.js with a larger stack size launch with
node --stack-size=[SIZE] scripts/sync.js index update
Where [SIZE] is an integer higher than the default.
note: SIZE will depend on which blockchain you are using, you may need to play around a bit to find an optimal setting
