How do I improve performance? #577

Describe the new feature or enhancement

https://bitcoinexplorer.org/ returns bc1qxhmdufsvnuaaaer4ynz88fspdsxq2h9e9cetdj within seconds. But my instance doesnt times out after about 8 minutes. Are you using electrs for addresses? What do I need to do to get improvement in performance?

which electrs, electrumx does https://bitcoinexplorer.org/ use?

I guess the explorer is NBXplorer because when displaying the list of peers there is a node with this unusual node subversion string: NBXplorer--2085976709189660429

I'm also interested in any advice here. I'm seeing similar issues with my btc-rpc-explorer instances. One is using ElectrumX the other uses ElectRS. Both take minutes to return an address that returns in seconds with bitcoinexplorer.org

I've tried to turn on all the caching. In memory and disk. Didn't improve the situation.

You want a fast electrumx replacement and fulcrum is the fastest: https://github.com/cculianu/Fulcrum

I just tried the OP address on a low end machine and took seconds.

3ntranced commented 1 year ago

i think blockstream electrs esplora has the best performance

janoside commented 1 year ago

BitcoinExplorer.org currently uses fulcrum.
