# Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer
2016-05-07 09:32:28 +00:00
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
Currently available Monero blockchain explorers have several limitations which are of
2017-04-28 07:34:08 +00:00
special importance to privacy-oriented users:
2016-05-07 09:32:28 +00:00
2016-09-22 01:48:29 +00:00
- they use JavaScript,
- have images which might be used for [cookieless tracking](http://lucb1e.com/rp/cookielesscookies/),
- track users activates through google analytics,
- are closed sourced,
- are not available as hidden services,
2018-03-27 00:16:02 +00:00
- do not support Monero testnet nor stagenet networks,
2017-05-04 06:22:54 +00:00
- have limited JSON API.
2016-05-07 09:32:28 +00:00
2016-05-09 01:40:16 +00:00
In this example, these limitations are addressed by development of
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
an Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer. The example not only shows how to use
Monero C++ libraries, but also demonstrates how to use:

2016-05-08 08:45:51 +00:00
2017-07-13 20:33:29 +00:00
Download and compile recent Monero into your home folder:
2016-05-23 01:17:15 +00:00
```bash
# first install monero dependecines
sudo apt update
2018-05-10 01:25:57 +00:00
sudo apt install git build-essential cmake libboost-all-dev miniupnpc libunbound-dev graphviz doxygen libunwind8-dev pkg-config libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libgtest-dev libreadline-dev libzmq3-dev libsodium-dev libpcsclite-dev
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
# go to home folder
cd ~
2016-05-28 01:53:11 +00:00
git clone --recursive https://github.com/monero-project/monero
2016-05-28 01:53:11 +00:00
cd monero/
2016-05-28 01:53:11 +00:00
2018-03-27 00:16:02 +00:00
# checkout last monero version
2018-04-05 05:41:27 +00:00
git checkout -b last_release v0.12.0.0
2018-03-27 00:16:02 +00:00
make
```
##### Compile and run the explorer
2017-09-06 23:05:18 +00:00
Once the Monero is compiles, the explorer can be downloaded and compiled
2016-05-28 02:06:35 +00:00
as follows:
2016-05-08 08:45:51 +00:00
```bash
# go to home folder if still in ~/monero
cd ~
2016-05-08 08:45:51 +00:00
# download the source code
2016-05-21 06:23:56 +00:00
git clone https://github.com/moneroexamples/onion-monero-blockchain-explorer.git
2016-05-08 08:45:51 +00:00
# enter the downloaded sourced code folder
cd onion-monero-blockchain-explorer
2016-11-23 06:29:03 +00:00
# make a build folder and enter it
mkdir build && cd build
2016-05-08 08:45:51 +00:00
# create the makefile
2016-11-23 06:29:03 +00:00
cmake ..
2016-05-08 08:45:51 +00:00
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
# altearnatively can use: cmake -DMONERO_DIR=/path/to/monero_folder ..
# if monero is not in ~/monero
#
# also can build with ASAN (sanitizers), for example
# cmake -DSANITIZE_ADDRESS=On ..
2016-05-08 08:45:51 +00:00
# compile
make
```
2016-05-28 02:06:35 +00:00
To run it:
```
./xmrblocks
```
2017-04-18 05:18:37 +00:00
By default it will look for blockchain in its default location i.e., `~/.bitmonero/lmdb`.
2018-05-13 05:48:37 +00:00
You can use `-b` option if its in different location.
For example:
```bash
./xmrblocks -b /home/mwo/non-defult-monero-location/lmdb/
```
2016-05-28 02:06:35 +00:00
Example output:
```bash
[mwo@arch onion-monero-blockchain-explorer]$ ./xmrblocks
2016-May-28 10:04:49.160280 Blockchain initialized. last block: 1056761, d0.h0.m12.s47 time ago, current difficulty: 1517857750

```
These are aliases similar to those used for http://139.162.32.245:8081/ and http://139.162.32.245:8082/, respectively.
2017-05-04 06:28:55 +00:00
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
## Enable Monero emission
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
Obtaining current Monero emission amount is not straight forward. Thus, by default it is
disabled. To enable it use `--enable-emission-monitor` flag, e.g.,
```bash
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
xmrblocks --enable-emission-monitor
```
This flag will enable emission monitoring thread. When started, the thread
will initially scan the entire blockchain, and calculate the cumulative emission based on each block.
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
Since it is a separate thread, the explorer will work as usual during this time.
Every 10000 blocks, the thread will save current emission in a file, by default,
in `~/.bitmonero/lmdb/emission_amount.txt`. For testnet or stagenet networks,
2018-03-27 00:16:02 +00:00
it is `~/.bitmonero/testnet/lmdb/emission_amount.txt` or `~/.bitmonero/stagenet/lmdb/emission_amount.txt`. This file is used so that we don't
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
need to rescan entire blockchain whenever the explorer is restarted. When the
explorer restarts, the thread will first check if `~/.bitmonero/lmdb/emission_amount.txt`
is present, read its values, and continue from there if possible. Subsequently, only the initial
use of the tread is time consuming. Once the thread scans the entire blockchain, it updates
2017-05-26 01:25:02 +00:00
the emission amount using new blocks as they come. Since the explorer writes this file, there can
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
be only one instance of it running for mainnet, testnet and stagenet. Thus, for example, you cant have
2017-05-26 01:25:02 +00:00
two explorers for mainnet
running at the same time, as they will be trying to write and read the same file at the same time,
leading to unexpected results. Off course having one instance for mainnet and one instance for testnet
is fine, as they write to different files.
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
When the emission monitor is enabled, information about current emission of coinbase and fees is
displayed on the front page, e.g., :
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
```
Monero emission (fees) is 14485540.430 (52545.373) as of 1313448 block
```
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
The values given, can be checked using Monero daemon's `print_coinbase_tx_sum` command.
For example, for the above example: `print_coinbase_tx_sum 0 1313449`.
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
To disable the monitor, simply restart the explorer without `--enable-emission-monitor` flag.
2018-01-28 01:17:12 +00:00
## Enable JavaScript for decoding proving transactions
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
By default, decoding and proving tx's outputs are done on the server side. To do this on the client side
2018-01-28 01:17:12 +00:00
(private view and tx keys are not send to the server) JavaScript-based decoding can be enabled:
```
xmrblocks --enable-js
```
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
2016-12-19 01:51:58 +00:00
## Enable SSL (https)
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
By default, the explorer does not use ssl. But it has such a functionality.
2016-12-19 01:51:58 +00:00
As an example, you can generate your own ssl certificates as follows:
```bash
cd /tmp # example folder
openssl genrsa -out server.key 1024
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
```
Having the `crt` and `key` files, run `xmrblocks` in the following way:
```bash
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
./xmrblocks --ssl-crt-file=/tmp/server.crt --ssl-key-file=/tmp/server.key
2016-12-19 01:51:58 +00:00
```
Note: Because we generated our own certificate, modern browsers will complain
about it as they cant verify the signatures against any third party. So probably
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
for any practical use need to have properly issued ssl certificates.
2016-05-28 02:06:35 +00:00
## JSON API
2017-01-14 01:20:56 +00:00
The explorer has JSON api. For the API, it uses conventions defined by [JSend](https://labs.omniti.com/labs/jsend).
2018-04-04 08:57:01 +00:00
By default the api is disabled. To enable it, use `--enable-json-api` flag, e.g.,
```
./xmrblocks --enable-json-api
```
2017-01-14 01:20:56 +00:00
#### api/transaction/<tx_hash>
2017-01-14 01:20:56 +00:00
```bash
2017-08-25 22:18:13 +00:00
curl -w "\n" -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/transaction/6093260dbe79fd6277694d14789dc8718f1bd54457df8bab338c2efa3bb0f03d"
2017-01-14 01:20:56 +00:00
```

#### api/outputs?txhash=<tx_hash>&address=<address>&viewkey=<viewkey>&txprove=<0|1>
For `txprove=0` we check which outputs belong to given address and corresponding viewkey.
For `txprove=1` we use to prove to the recipient that we sent them founds.
For this, we use recipient's address and our tx private key as a viewkey value,
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
i.e., `viewkey=<tx_private_key>`
Checking outputs:

Proving transfer:
We use recipient's address (i.e. not our address from which we sent xmr to recipient).
2018-05-01 01:15:17 +00:00
For the viewkey, we use `tx_private_key` (although the GET variable is still called `viewkey`) that we obtained by sending this txs.
