Marconi Explorer

This is a fork of etcexplorer that we've modified to work for Marconi Protocol.

MainNet Explorer Live: explorer.marconi.org
TestNet Explorer Live: explorer.testnet.marconi.org

Dependencies

node.js
mongodb

Install required npm packages:

$ npm install

Configuration

Clone a config file from the template and update the values.

$ cp config.example.json config.json
$ vi config.json

Sample config.json

{
    "nodeAddr":     "localhost",        
    "gethPort":     8545,
    "startBlock":   0,
    "quiet":        true,
    "syncAll":      true,
    "patch":        true,
    "patchBlocks":  100,
    "bulkSize":     10,
    "settings": {
        "symbol": "Marcos", 
        "name": "Marconi Protocol",
        "author": "Marconi Foundation",
    }
}

nodeAddr: Your node API RPC address.
gethPort: Your node API RPC port.
startBlock: This is the start block of the blockchain, should always be 0 if you want to sync the whole blockchain.
quiet: Suppress some messages. (admittedly still not quiet)
syncAll: If this is set to true at the start of the app, the sync will start syncing all blocks from lastSync, and if lastSync is 0 it will start from whatever the endBlock or latest block in the blockchain is.
patch: If set to true and below value is set, sync will iterated through the # of blocks specified.
patchBlocks: If patch is set to true, the amount of block specified will be check from the latest one.

Run

The below will start both the web-gui and sync.js (which populates MongoDV with blocks/transactions).

$ npm start

You can leave sync.js running without app.js and it will sync and grab blocks based on config.json parameters

$ node ./tools/sync.js

Enabling stats requires running a separate process:

$ node ./tools/stats.js

You can configure intervals (how often a new data point is pulled) and range (how many blocks to go back) with the following. The below sample is set to: New data point every 1,000 blocks. Go back 100,000 blocks:

$ RESCAN=1000:100000 node tools/stats.js
