Package request: mempool.space #119

Open MaxHillebrand opened 3 years ago

Did you check if Debian 10 already contains this software? Yes, it does not.

What the application you want packaged does? https://github.com/mempool/mempool https://mempool.space

How does the application relate to the ideas of privacy and freedom? I use it often to chart-analyse mining fee estimates.

Alternative software https://github.com/jhoenicke/mempool https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h

Additional context I know this is already on the long-term roadmap. I open this issue specifically because I just learned that there's this npm package for the mempool api, maybe this is useful, maybe it is not, in any case, here it is! https://www.npmjs.com/package/mempool-space-js

Fwiw, I prefer mempool.space over esplora, due to it's superior mempool chart analysis.

AFAIU that JS API connects to external mempool.space server, so not very interesting for the repository which tries to be as private as possible but self-hosting is interesting enough. If node developers are interested in having the API packaged then it should connect to the local instance out-of-the-box.

thanks for clarifying this!

then disregard the link, though keep the issue open if you like.

FYI, just found out that mempool supports upstream electrs not just esplora version. That will help. Looking at their repo a bit more. It looks quite complicated so it will take some time.
