As a curious user, might also be interesting to know which address holds most of the .chain names.

As I already pointed out that It is not easy to find test-net middleware host and gave suggestion to provide transaction inspection through middleware on block explorer

From above response…

what exactly would you expect from the middleware? too much room for interpretation here IMO. what information do you need in the explorer?

It would be great that if explorer can provide hyperlink of the transaction pointing on middleware.

just to let you all know → a lot of work has already put into the “new explorer”. we’re aiming to provide a functional and (IMO) very cool MVP before Christmas! the dashboard with live-data updates is almost finished :slight_smile:

we’re currently discussing the “brand name” of it. I remembered some branding vote for the middleware which didn’t really make sense to apply there as it’s not a “typical” product for regular users.

we thought about applying the name which won back then to the new explorer. the winning brand name back then was indæx (or indÆx).

over the past days new names were suggested and so we currently discuss following names:

  • indæx / indÆx
  • scæn / scÆn
  • scænner / scÆnner
  • æScan / Æscan
  • æternity explorer
  • æxplorer

what do you guys think? should we do another governance vote about that?

Thanks for noting this topic and bringing this back.
Also, one simple version of brand name could be just Æscan

I like aeScan as it is similar to etherscan/btcscan or polkascan. I think we are allowed to differ, but I think in the end it is better to have a market standard. It helps most for the logic for users to find it easier.

So this means I would suggest: aeScan or scaenner.

I also think æScan is a good name :thinking:

I’ve only had a chance to glance at the concept site a few times. Do we know the URL schema for the new explorer, by any chance? The reason I’m asking is the new marketplace site Tsuriai deployed places explorer links to every part of a sale that occurs on chain (so TX links prior to a contract call being mined, contract links after calls have been mined, public keys, etc. – the “Contract ID” link on a sales item page being one example: Ægoraへようこそ! ) and it would be nice to get a head start sorting the change out for whenever the big switch comes.

Ah… also… for anyone wondering what I mean about “the new marketplace” I was hoping to get a post organized today to fully explain it, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. The mainnet site is at https://aegora.jp and the testnet site is at https://testnet.aegora.jp. The TL;DR is that there is a new marketplace for ordinary person-to-person ecommerce that uses on-chain AE (through smart contracts) as a drop in replacement payment method for Visa/PayPal/etc. It is super simple to use, but people are so unused to the concept of using actual crypto actually on-chain for actual real-world goods that some explanation is in order! (The site is very bare-bones at the moment – a lot of extra help information, tutorials, explainers, video, etc. are in order.)
