an idea for anyone handy with code?



  • Hi...

    the core client sucks when it comes to showing your true engagement in the hosting/renting. There is no overwiev at all, and SIA explorer is very tech and does not give a decen overwiev, only on transactinal level - the block chain contains the info needed (I think) and should be able to interpret by some one into the details..

    Someone with a bit of coding and teck skills should really make an addon or a web site where the hosts could look up:

    • how many contracts do I have
    • How much storage is tied into evey each of them
    • When do they expire
    • showing expected income over time
    • How much collatteral is tied up into each of the contracts

    Just introducing the idea here - I can't code, i'm afraid :-(

    @larsfloe I can code decently. Unfortunately they decided to use java and go. Two of the worst languages ever made. It kind of bottle necks the project because a lot of people aren't willing to use or learn these two. You can use other languages you want but it's time consuming to rebuild it.

    Make sure you tag me @bryan if you need to me respond.
    Forum Mod. I cannot fix transactions. I can't help with Mac or Linux.

  • Working on host contracts info.
    Hope it will be merged into sia, but not ready yet.

    And working on some code base to make explorer development possible, since internal explorer sucks.

  • that looks like what I have had in mind.. Will be exiting to see if that can put some light for most users into how their contracts are put together - keep up the good work.. Reach out for me if you need a hand for teting and commenting :-)

    ps: one thing I did note is that you refer to the tme-dimenstin as in block chain height. For the average Joe (I amd that Joe :-) ) I think it makes more sense to refer to anything on a time line in a more understanding metric such as just date and/or time!



  • @larsfloe

    more understanding metric such as just date and/or time!

    This is very simple view of database, just to get some basic understanding about it contents.
    Nothing processed with any logic. Only currency view as SC, Filesize and Contract statuses.
    So close to raw data from sia daemon.
    And a lot trash actually like unresolved = failed attempts to make contract.
