Re: [XDN] duckNote [ANN]. CryptoNote based. Anonymous and CPU only.
Officially launching block explorer with detailed charts and statistics for DuckNote:
Chart example: DuckNote difficulty
Donations accepted.
Hope it's useful!

After a few days away and unable to work on this, I'm back and ready to continue this little project.
I'm also not very familiar with the inner workings of Monero. I'm able to extract from the blockchain some more attributes than the ones currently displayed on the website, such as the payment_id present on some transactions, but I don't know the meaning of most of them.
One of my next steps in my todo list is reading the cryptonote paper, so I can understand the protocol better and display the data in a more meaningful way or derive new useful data, to the extend possible.
Since you are able to extract it, adding search functionality for the payment_id field would be immensely helpful. Given the anonymous nature of Monero, payment_id's are basically the means by which the payer can prove to the buyer that the payment was actually sent over the network -- but to do so, they need to be able point to a neutral third party source (the block explorer) as proof.
That's a very good idea, will start implementing right away. I'll make any hash searchable while I'm at it, not only payment_id, but also input and output keys.
Thanks for the tip, I really appreciate it
I will add the chart for block time with no problem. The public API will be available soon at http://monerochain.info/api.
Thanks for pointing out. I'm aware of this issue with Bytecoin explorer, and that's why I didn't launch it officially yet. Sadly, I haven't had the time to deal with this lately, but I will do my best to fix it soon.
Working on all these suggestions right now, so expect updates soon!

Just donated to thank you for your excellent work:)
Two things I'd like to see, in order of importance, if you could be so kind:
1. A block time chart - a lot of people seem to think that the block time is jumping around, and having a chart to show it average out over time would be awesome
2. A publicly accessible API

need a working block explorer.
I'll make one tomorrow by adapting the one I did for Monero.
Re: [ANN][FCN] FantomCoin. CN-based currency with merged mining. LAUNCHED NOW!
After developing monerochain.info, I'm launching a block explorer for Fantomcoin, charts, stats, and more:

Hi, can you have the cryptonote exchange post TXID next to withdrawals?
It's absolutely fine if cryptonote exchange or anyone else wants to place a link to monerochain.info/tx/TXID. If you want them to put such link you should ask them. Is this what you're asking, or something else?
Everyone should feel free to link monerochain.info if they want to, no need to ask for permission.
Very good point, that would definitely help the new users understand the workings of Monero.
Yeah, and not just new users. I'm still trying to get my head around how Monero works and I'm looking forward to seeing just what a blockchain explorer can, and cannot, do. What is the most that can be gleamed about a transaction when is 0 vs greater than 0? Can you track ? etc.
The original post announcing Monero lists the following as some of its key features:

Untraceable payments
Unlinkable transactions

Your tool can help a wider population understand how elegantly this is true.

Total coins in circulation might be a useful stat. People are always throwing around estimates, but you can calculate the exact sum.
Done! I've added a bunch of charts, including the one you requested: http://monerochain.info/charts
Top wallets would be great if it is possible 
Great effort here. Thanks.
Great effort here. Thanks.Unfortunately (or not), I don't think this is possible. As Kyune pointed out, one of the main points that make Monero different than most of other alt coins are its anonymity features based on ring signatures, which make it unfeasible to extract meaningful info regarding individual wallets.
Great! I will send a donation! :-)
Edit: if you post an address ;-)

I've added an "about" section where you can find the address for donations: http://monerochain.info/about
Very cool.
A graph of difficulty over time would be sort of neat.
Please also consider some explanatory language or a short FAQ explaining what no Monero block explorer could ever do because of the ring signature architecture of the currency. This highlights the privacy/anonymity features of Monero.
Interacting with a explorer like this -- especially compared to the current, somewhat clunky command line daemon and wallet -- really presents a "teachable moment" about the core differences between Monero and all the coins that have come before. The average user, new to Monero, will want to try something like inputting their public address to see their balance. But they can't (right?), because it doesn't work like that! A short FAQ about what can and cannot be divined from the Monero blockchain helps to educate newcomers that what they are seeing is not a shortfall of your explorer, but rather a feature set of this coin.

Hi everyone!
I'm happy to announce the launch of the first web-based blockchain explorer for Monero:
It lets you look up any block or transaction ever made.
For now it's quite simple and it does just the basics, but I'll be adding more features soon.
If you spot a bug, think of a possible improvement or an idea for a new feature, please let me know your thoughts! I'm open to suggestions and requests.
Regards.
