Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers

I've collected some of the most famous Bitcoin block explorers including a column for supported features like displaying native SegWit bech32-addresses or giving the possibility to identify an outgoing transaction from nested SegWit P2SH addresses. Finally, I've rated them from my side how useful each block explorer is. The rating is better the more detailed the explorer is.

Bitcoin block explorers:

*BTC addresses starting with "3" what are they ? simplified explanation.

PrivacyG has made a list of all Block Explorers above working without Java Script. You can find PrivacyG contribution here to find out more about it.

**Some elements are not showing or working properly, but mostly works fine.

I've included a poll and if you want, please leave a vote which block explorer is your favorite one. Each user will have 2 votes, you can revise it at any time, like when the block explorer makes changes and features are removed / added or when it goes completely offline.
