Blockchain info (feature request) #618

Open R5fan opened 12 years ago

R5fan commented 12 years ago

feature request: scrape blockchain.info on longpoll to determine block owner. Ive done some testing and it appears 99% correct. AKA, plenty good for hopping, particularly for deepbit.

By contrast the current LP guessing and IRC system seem utterly broken (perhaps because blockexplorer is down?)

Blockchain info has an API: http://blockchain.info/api

If I understand it correctly, "Inventory Data" even gives confidence of the block owner.

FYI, from what I understand (which is little,) blockchain is used via the lpworkbench plugin to search and verify blocks.

Euh? That generates the HTML page. Ill go through the code later, but Im not good enough to implement this properly anyway.
