Block browsers have difficulty with addresses - they require a horizontal slice through what is essentially vertically-indexed data (blocks) and so an additional address index must be created and maintained. The more sophisticated explorer that Mr Spread created for Spreadcoin (also sported by PIVX) has all the details:

Thanks for the explanation. After I saw there was no address analysis in the SLM block explorer, I had already expected something like this ...

There is already an explorer at http://www.slimcoin.club/#blkexp
It is good to have a few explorers, but balance cost/features
Cryptoid has full featured explorers for us90 per year example https://chainz.cryptoid.info/gap/

For Cryptoid it is required compiling in Debian 7 as per FAQ. If that is possible maybe we can do something about it.

My favourite solution would be to port some of the well-known open source block explorers (for example, Bitcoin-Abe or Iquidus) to Slimcoin, so anyone that has some spare space on a server/VPS could host an explorer. I think it needs, however, some tweaking because of DCrypt and the Proof of Burn blocks. If it's easy I maybe can do it as Abe at least is a Python script, but I cannot promise anything.
