@sqrrm @KanoczTomas : Would you be ok to take over the BSQ explorer role after the DAO launch?
We should have 2 explorers running for resilience.

Yeah, I'm good to run one explorer instance. Would be great if someone with some web dev experience could take over the development though.

@KanoczTomas From what I understand you have some more experience on the operations side so you're probably better situated to improve on the stability of running the explorers. I'm already running one and if you run the other we should get together to figure out what we can do to make them better.

@ManfredKarrer yes, I am ok with running a second instance.

@sqrrm it would be perhaps interesting to somehow move the BSQ explorer to esplora if the current one has problems with developement. Esplora uses electrs in the background, so maybe if bisq dao created a json in the format as electrs returns it would be a way to go. It if just a thought for now. Would require more analysis of the code.

I will create a vm and contact you how to proceed @sqrrm .

@KanoczTomas Yes basically that would be good but will require more work to see what is needed. After the DAO launch we can look into it.

2019.03 report

Started as explorer operator/maintainer. I'm running one node for betanet right now at explorer.sqrrm.net/betanet

Will move that over to mainnet when we go live, which shouln't be much of a problem as betanet is already on mainnet but with test BSQ.

I will take over the role from april 1. I had no time to setup the 2nd node yet, as planned. Will do in the coming days.

Cycle 1 report

I've been running an explorer, both clearnet and onion on https://explorer.sqrrm.net/ and murt7p2srbvorslyhud2rvvg2dkjpmtmku5p67lms72hqmuauibbisqd.onion respectively.

There has been no issues with the setup during the first cycle. I don't even think I've restarted the seednode once. I plan on moving this to explorer2.bisq.network or something like that as well.

Cycle 2 report

I have taken over primary role owner. I'm also managing both explorers. The explorers have been running without problem but they're rather primitive. It would be good to get someone to take over this role and the management of the explorers.

Cycle 3 report

Running two explorers

https://explorer.bisq.network/
https://explorer.sqrrm.net/

There was quite a lot of trouble with the explorer nodes this cycle. I think the seed nodes are not stable when dumping DAO data to disk and the monitor then reads it. It would probably be better if there was an api for the explorer to get the data from the seed node.

It's also really slow to parse from genesis, each block taking up to 20s, that needs to be investigated.

Running two explorers

Fixed quite a few issues with the explorers, they're now running smoother but still require quite a lot of attention.

Looked into enabling DNSSEC but my registrar doesn't support it for my TLD. May need to move to another domain name.

🚨 This role is retired 🚨

At the end of Cycle 16, this role is eliminated and replaced by the Mempool Explorer Operator role. Please upgrade your BSQ Explorer to Mempool Explorer when possible.

Closing as superseded by #107 per @wiz's request, and I've renamed @bisq-network/bsq-explorer-operators team to @bisq-network/mempool-operators accordingly.

Cycle 19 Report

Now that my instance is removed from v1.5.0, I'll be taking it offline shortly.

EDIT: explorer is now offline. Visitors are told the explorer has been depcrecated and should instead visit https://explorer.bisq.network to be redirected to other instances. The domain name expires in January, and I don't plan to renew it.
