Add support for BSQ into the mempool.space explorer, replace our current BSQ Explorers with self-hosted Mempool Explorers about projects HOT 8 CLOSED

@wiz sent me a Bisq dao JSON dump and I have made some quick mockups to give an idea of how I would implement this.

Basically Bisq will be another optional module visible in the in mempool selection just like Liquid or Testnet currently. So heading to mempool.space/bisq will default to the familiar Latest bisq-transactions. Viewing individual transactions will have the same features and functionality with live tracking and fee information as on mainnet but with the additional Bisq DAO information.

https://mempool.space/bisq has an early WIP available for beta testing

Everyone seems pretty happy so I just merged the PR: mempool/mempool#92

Yes, but by combining Bitcoin Node ($50) + BSQ Explorer ($100) + Mempool Node ($50) you get a total budget of $200 per month to run this beefy server which does everything all in one. It makes sense.

Concept ACK

To replace the Bitcoin Explorer part it needs a Bitcoind + https://github.com/Blockstream/electrs running in the back-end. This needs a beefy server with > 1TB SSD.
Would that also be needed for the BSQ Explorer part?

Scope of BSQ support in Mempool can be expanded in the future to add new features such as displaying DAO vote results, DAO financials, etc.

I assume this isn't a near-term / high-priority thing, but it sounds great.

Thanks Simon, I’ve assigned you to this project. Just to give you an idea how bad the current BSQ Explorers are, right now 2 out of 6 of them are stuck again today, despite our repeated attempts to fix them over the past few months. I’m really looking forward to replace that old code!

The new explorer seems stable, so I have begun redirecting https://bsq.ninja/ to https://mempool.space/bisq as follows:

set $redirect_uri https://mempool.space/bisq;
if ($uri = /tx.html) {
        set $redirect_uri https://mempool.space/bisq/tx/$arg_tx;
}
if ($uri = /txo.html) {
        set $redirect_uri https://mempool.space/bisq/tx/$arg_txo;
}
if ($uri = /Address.html) {
        set $redirect_uri https://mempool.space/bisq/address/$arg_addr;
}
return 301 $redirect_uri;
