Technical community | LBTC tech community member develops a new blockbrowser ‘Thebes’

Recently, from the LBTC developer community ,a geek called Chen Jian helped LBTC develope a new block browser — “Thebes” : https://lbtc.me/lbtc/explorer .

Thebes mainly USES python development language and flask development framework. In terms of database, high-performence MongoDB is selected to cooperate with Mysql. By using transaction id as the primary key of data storage, the speed of transaction information search is greatly improved. In other development respects, the Web server selects nginx, the process management tool selects supevisor and python(gevent), and the timing task tool selects crontab. Meanwhile, in the development process of Thebes, some js and CSS code fragments were optimized and compressed to speed up the page loading speed. In GTmetrix and Yellowlab’s global blockbrowser performance tests, the “Thebes” browser received the highest grade A in core metrics such as CSS snippet authoring, image loading, style & script optimization, linking server resources, and docking cache validators.

Compared to existing LBTC blockbrowsers, Thebes has the following innovative features

Global Mining Node Full Information Statistics

In the node page of Thebes, the user can easily find information about all the mining nodes of LBTC. As of May 17, 2019, Beijing time, LBTC has 231 full nodes in operation, among which 17 nodes use the network client of /Satoshi: 0.14.2/70013 version. Of the 231 nodes, two have adopted IPv6’s sixth generation Internet communication scheme. In addition to this basic information, the user can see information for each specific node. For example, the node ranked 81 in votes :(cobo.com/lbtc.7), the address balance, transaction information, block history, voting information, proposal status and so on.

The blockbrowser is also a network interface to JSON-RPC. In order to better count the mining nodes of the LBTC network around the world, the browser does this by continuously sending getaddr information to all accessible network nodes.

Real-time Update of Network Status

In a Bitcoin network, the value of a Bitcoin is proportional to the square of the number of people using the network, which is determined by two parameters: the number of addresses and the daily transaction volume. In the “Thebes” browser, the core parameters of the network, such as daily transaction volume, daily change in the number of newly added Lightning Bitcoin addresses, total number of Lightning Bitcoin holders, average transfer fee and average block volume, are all clearly displayed.

About the Technical Community

The LBTC technology community was officially launched in early April 2019. The core developer of the technology community, W.H.H., announced on Twitter on April 15 that the LBTC foundation would invest more than $1 million in technology community incentives. The open rewards system gives developers from around the world a way to learn about blockchain development, try new ideas and contribute to projects. The technology community is still in its infancy, but it has brought together a group of passionate developers. By writing documents, developing blockbrowsers and wallets, and organizing offline seminars for the developer community, they have helped the community thrive and opened the door to LBTC for many investors and developers.
