Goddamn after working on "bindex" for months, I just saw the romanz took the name on crates.io a week ago Lesson learned, reserve your names early folks !

@Mullvad VPN with Lightning has hands down the best UX for a paid service I've ever had You can create a brand new account (email and password free !) and pay for the service in under 30s *chef's kiss* #Bitcoin is hope 🕊️

What's better than one 1️⃣ server ? TWO 2️⃣ servers ! https://kibo.money is now hosted on two* Mac minis at the same time and very soon at different locations and using different ISPs, thanks to Cloudflare tunnel replicas to ensure maximum availability and practically 0 downtime*. So now, you'll be able to fully enjoy the services even when maintenance is needed * Yes, there is an older instance called "backup" but it's not a full (server only, without indexing/computhing) one as the machine is quite old and is only a copy via Syncthing (rsync) and so when the main server is down it just gives old data. It also has it's own URL which you need to know if you want to fetch via the API * Unless there is a bug of course ! #Bitcoin is hope 🕊️

Here's a peak of the completely reworked API for the v0.6 release, in which it: Finally has a(n optional) range (from=INDEX, to=INDEX), which if omitted will give the whole thing (if it's not too big) Supports multiple formats: Base JSON, JSON (file), CSV (file), TSV (file) Supports multiple datasets at once, for all formats Supports a bunch of indexes such as height, date index, tx index, tx in index, ... and later month index, year index, ... I've basically answered all the feature requests that I got Stay tuned for more updates about the v0.6 and its release PR: https://github.com/kibo-money/kibo/pull/15 #Bitcoin is hope 🕊️

Great read which I would've missed it on Primal, try other clients folks !

is there any good block explorer other than mempool.space ? checked a bunch and everything else feels and looks terrible

Trying #Yakihonne after seeing it mentioned here a few times, it’s very nice Catched up with a bunch of events that I never got on Primal

Thanks a lot ! Still a long way to go View quoted note →

While it was never the goal, kibō.money will end up "competing" (or rather being an alternative) to electrs (as an indexer) and mempool.space (as a block explorer) Pretty much all the data to do both was needed and already there all along but was too entangled with the rest of the code for me to realize that and now that I'm splitting things in neat little packages (crates) that can be used on their own I can see it So I'll slowly add features to allow both of them starting from the v0.6 release #Bitcoin is hope 🕊️

For anyone using a terminal, try Ghostty it’s native, fast and just generally very good !

Server shut down unexpectedly and corrupted a bunch of files Had to recompute everything (kind of like when the core chain corrupts), which is still ongoing and so the data won't be up to date for a little while, sorry about that

Happy new year ! Stay humble, stack sats and let's keep building 🫡

Merry Christmas everybody 🎄🕊️
