A free-software Namecoin explorer is now live for nostriches to explore. No public CA, just a Namecoin Core node, your Tor client, and the
chain.
Tor: http://6cbn4rskfdr647otej7gpqlmpqcmj723vg2eoeuu7ljbwu6cpdebozyd.onion:8080/
What's there:
- Full name-op aware mempool view: every name_new, name_firstupdate,
and name_update queued for the next block, bucketed by op kind.
http://...onion:8080/mempool-name-ops
- Detection of ifa-0001 §"import" references between names, rendered
as clickable links — so you can walk a record's import graph
without leaving the explorer.
- d/<name> and id/<name> records Nostr blocks linked to NIP-19 npubs
(with njump.me deeplinks), the implied <localPart>@<host>.bit
NIP-05 identifier, and the publisher's preferred relays.
- Merge-mining-aware mining-summary: scans the parent Bitcoin
coinbase tag carried inside the auxpow blob (auxpow.tx.vin[0].coinbase),
so you actually see WHO mined the last 30 days of Namecoin — not
just "Unknown" the way most NMC explorers render it.
Top NMC mining pools, last 30 days (4,321 blocks, snapshot at
height 822,734 — refresh before posting if more than ~12 hours
old):
1. AntPool 1347 blocks (31.17%)
2. F2Pool 891 blocks (20.62%)
3. ViaBTC 713 blocks (16.50%)
4. SpiderPool 291 blocks ( 6.73%)
5. SecPool 259 blocks ( 5.99%)
6. Luxor 253 blocks ( 5.86%)
7. Binance Pool 181 blocks ( 4.19%)
8. Braiins Pool 108 blocks ( 2.50%)
9. Ultimus Pool 35 blocks ( 0.81%)
10. CloverPool 26 blocks ( 0.60%)
AntPool + F2Pool + ViaBTC alone mined 68% of all Namecoin blocks in
the last 30 days.
