# Onion Monero Prover
# Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer
Currently, to prove to someone that you send them some monero, you can use this: [checktx](http://xmr.llcoins.net/checktx.html). Altought its useful, it is limited
in that it:
Curently available Monero blockchain explorer websites have several limitations which are of special importance to privacy-oriented users:
- uses JavaScript and
- not available as hidden services.
- 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,
- provide only basic search capabilities,
- can't identify users outputs based on provided Monero address and viewkey.
In this example, these limitations are addressed by development of
an Onion Monero Prover. The example not only shows how to use Monero C++ libraries, but also demonstrates how to use:
an Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer. The example not only shows how to use Monero C++ libraries, but also demonstrates how to use:

## Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer features
The key features of the Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer are
- available as a hidden service,
- no javascript, no cookies, no web analytics trackers, no images,
- open sourced,
- made fully in C++,
- the only explorer showing encrypted payments ID,
- the only explorer with the ability to search by encrypted payments ID, tx public
keys, stealth addresses, input key images,
output amount index and its amount,
- the only explorer showing ring signatures,
- the only explorer showing transaction extra field,
- the only explorer showing public components of Monero addresses,
- the only explorer that can show which outputs belong to the given Monero address and viewkey,
- the only explorer showing detailed information about mixins, such as, mixins'
age, timescale, mixin of mixins,
- the only explorer showing number of amount output indices.
## Prerequisite
Everything here was done and tested using Monero 0.9.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64.
