More info on bad blocks #13

Closed holiman closed 3 years ago

holiman commented 3 years ago

It's a PITA to copy-paste rlp to the console and run rlpdump -hex ... each time, just to get some info like the blocknumber and extradata. The forkmon should, somehow, display the basic data that can be dumped from the rlp. Not the full block, but the header fields at least.

@MariusVanDerWijden didn't you already implement more info on bad blocks? The rlp is OK, but if both geth and besu also delivers the json, then we should display that too. At least number, timestamp, miner, extradata and hash. Perhaps stateRoot too.

Edit: yeah, and it was me who told you to skip the json and focus on the RLP, I know. Sorry!
