There are few possibilites:
1. rent server for block explorer
2. pay someone who already has multiple block explorers
3. integrate block explorer into wallet
I would prefer option 3 but that`s just me

Option 3 sounds quite good.
Does anyone have the skills to implement this? id10tothe9?
Improving the wallet for Tips can be a good sign the coin will live. Plus this can be carried over once changes are made, i.e. POS, reduced # of coins, etc.
Development fund in tips can be raised to who ever volunteers to make a new wallet, given they have the rep and reliability.
agreed! I don't have the skills I'm not a dev, but maybe icanprogram.
How can we get the blockchain explorer working again?
What is the cost to keep it active?
About $20 per month, but it should work at $10.
3. integrate block explorer into wallet
I would prefer option 3 but that`s just me Smiley
Still requires an outside server, so that would still cost the same.
I will hopefully donate the needed amount if things go as planned for me financially, need 2-3 weeks time. I can then keep this running for a while. icanprogram you didn't really comment on the TiPS 2.0 proposal, what do you think? how much work would this need?
