How to remove BTC from Insight UI?

[georgengelmann]

I want to run a blockchain explorer for BCH mainnet and testnet only, but BTC is visible in the menu options and it's the default currency when I visit the page (I have not configured a BTC node)

Hello ! You can show your bitcore.config.json file ?

All you have to do with the idea is to remove it from the file:

  "BTC": {
    "mainnet": {
      "chainSource": "p2p",
      "trustedPeers": [
        {
          "host": "127.0.0.1",
          "port": 20008
        }
      ],
      "rpc": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": 20009,
        "username": "username",
        "password": "password"
      }
    },
    "regtest": {
      "chainSource": "p2p",
      "trustedPeers": [
        {
          "host": "127.0.0.1",
          "port": 20020
        }
      ],
      "rpc": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": 20021,
        "username": "username",
        "password": "password"
      }
    }
  },

My file looks like this

{
    "bitcoreNode": {
        "chains": {
            "BCH": {
                "mainnet": {
                    "chainSource": "p2p",
                    "trustedPeers": [
                        {
                            "host": "192.168.211.4",
                            "port": 8333
                        },
                        {
                            "host": "192.168.211.3",
                            "port": 8333
                        }
                    ],
                    "rpc": {
                        "host": "192.168.211.4",
                        "port": 8332,
                        "username": "user",
                        "password": "password"
                    }
                },
                "testnet": {
                    "chainSource": "p2p",
                    "trustedPeers": [
                        {
                            "host": "192.168.211.4",
                            "port": 18333
                        },
                        {
                            "host": "192.168.211.3",
                            "port": 18333
                        }
                    ],
                    "rpc": {
                        "host": "192.168.211.4",
                        "port": 18332,
                        "username": "user",
                        "password": "password"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

But when I visit https://explorer.electroncash.de the default currency is BTC in the user interface - just showing an error

I’ll check it at home now and will return with an answer

I made a couple of attempts and the same situation I think that there’s no way to remove it, it's like ethereum classic without ethereum

the default code tries to connect to the localhost: 8333 if it is not explicitly specified in the configuration file

if you really want it, you can certainly get around it, but I think it's worth it .

I think the issue is on the insight side it likely has BTC hardcoded in the chain/network dropdown.

The rest are populated from making a request to your configured bitcore-node. You should be able to remove the BTC line from that dropdown.

We can look into this, it is a bug.

@micahriggan In which file(s) in the insight package must the BTC line removed from dropdown?
