Add "Current transaction date" to explorer #7

Open Sajjon opened 5 years ago

It would be nice to see the date of the transactions currently being processed. Kind of goes along with the progress percentage measurement. As in "Currently processing transactions from 2014-05"

It won't be very accurate, as the different nodes progress through time at wildly different rates

Change "Watch us reconstruct your transaction history at hyperspeed" to "Search for your Bitcoin transaction history up to:

DD-MMM-YYYY"

DD-MMM-YYYY is getting updated in real-time.

This change costs much more than what it's worth in my opinion.

We need to request the "latest-processed-bitcoin-transaction" atom from a node (which one? See @MuncleUscles's comment above) and with the current API we need to know the address of that atom (see /api/atoms?... API implementation in core - address is required) which we don't know at this point, as we don't know which atom it is yet.

Basically: "gimme latest atom" isn't specific enough for the node to know what to return.

I mean, you could just estimate very roughly based on the progress and https://www.blockchain.com/charts/n-transactions-total?timespan=all
