Simple Explorer is a BIP-37 programmable blockchain explorer. It is designed to be a SPV Bitcoin node using NodeJS, to develop KISS pieces of software using the blockchain, without downloading the all the full blocks
The project will include a blockchain explorer as a proof of concept and example to help developers, and build something useful. Now it provide only a CLI
Note: Still under heavy development, please help and contribute with issues or pull requests :-) Please use the development/features branches
After downloading the source code, run these commands inside the directory to install all the requirements.
npm install -g coffee
npm install
This will install CoffeeScript and dependencies, everything required at the moment to run the main script.
Once ready, the CLI to the explorer is main.coffee
. To get some help run:
coffee main.coffee --help
To know what is left to do, run the tests!
npm install -g mocha
npm test
If a test is failing, it means that some work is required to implement that feature, imrpove that test or verify manually what is wrong... and remember to write KISS code, and use git flow!
