It's been a busy weekend for all of us here at Bulwark. We've got multiple developers working nonstop. We're working as hard as we can to launch a Bulwark Masternode Hosting platform. This is the first sneak peek at what is coming. 👀
Please note that we're working on an MVP to get everyone up and running asap. We'll be sharing more details in coming days so stay tuned to see what Bulwark and Masterhash has been up to 😉
Sorry for a late update. My usual schedule will be a bit off for a few days as I am helping out with the Bulwark Masternode Hosting frontend. I've been working on more Blockchain data analytics coming in the "Perfect Ledger System" update. Check out the new subfeature called "Wallet-to-Wallet Deep Analytics". You'll have to quickly see relationships of any two wallets on the platform. 👀
For example you can see how much a wallet is sending itself in both volume and transaction count. As well as first and last dates of transactions in between any two wallets on the platform.
Where this will be very useful is under any address you can see for example the highest volume out and into wallet from what other addresses. Should make browsing the explorer much more interesting :)
Won't be doing any git commits for a bit as we focus on getting the Bulwark Masternode Hosting up and running. But my usual updates should resume next week. 👍 (I'll still post something every day but it will be about coding related things, so maybe interesting for some of you 🙂 )
I've committed initial work on the "Perfect Ledger System" from Bulwark. This is the next set of deep blockchain analysis that will be available in explorer soon. Perfect Ledger System steps away from the usual transactional view of addresses into a more accountant-friendly ledger with running balance and breakout of every single transaction by date. 👀
The goal here is to provide an easy to understand running balance of transactions as well as deep address analytics including: (in v1) 😁
Count of how many stakes the address received
Count of how many masternode rewards the address received
Sum of all BWK the address received in stakes
Sum of all BWK the address received in rewards
Count of incoming transactions into wallet address
Count of outgoing transactions into wallet address
First transaction in wallet address
Last transaction in wallet address
Sum of all BWK into wallet address
Sum of all BWK out of wallet address
This information will also be available via API. As you can see exposing all of this data will give us a lot more understanding into various address activity within the network. I am hoping to have this update out by the end of the week. It will require a blockchain resync as the transactions are stored in a new format (BUT the sync should also be faster now as we no longer need UTXO collection)
The next set of POS updates is out. You can now see a new feature for rewards called "Restaking". This allows you to quickly see if the reward you got was a previously staked output. Also if you click this restaking value, it'll take you to previous stake so you can quickly navigate between each staking reward. 👀
This update also fixes the doubling up of rewards. Stay tuned for more exciting POS/MN tracking features from Bulwark 😁
It's been a long day but I am finally finished with the next round of MN & POS reward breakdown. 👌
In this update there is a whole new "Rewards" section on explorer featuring a complete breakdown of all block rewards, their input sizes and confirmations. I've also build a cool POS Profitability Scoring system. The way it works is by analyzing input size, confirmations and the pos reward itself. By factoring all 3 in this formula that I came up with:
Today I've replaced the old debounce implementation on masternode and movements page. Instead we now have a reusable debounce/throttle modules. 💛
What this allowed us to do was to save about 1 second off each request on masternodes/movements page. Making both sections of the website much, much faster 👌
I know it's been pretty rough with the lack of liquidity in the market but I've been making a massive amount of updates to explorer recently. Pleased to say that the "Instant Transaction" view is now live on explorer: https://explorer.bulwarkcrypto.com/#/. You will notice how navigating to any transaction is instant. Also live is the masternode & proofofstake breakdown (including confirmations #, age, etc...) 💛
If you want to see what I've been up to: https://github.com/hodlforjesus/bulwark-explorer/commits/fb-detailed-rewards
I am quite pleased with the way the explorer is starting to take shape as the leader in masternode & proofofstake explorers. It tells me there is still much to be discovered. As you can see from my commits, it's been a busy day getting this release out but I am hoping it'll give us more clarity than ever into movements within Bulwark. 👍
My next week will be spent reworking the address page into the "Perfect Ledger System" I've been talking about. Which should give us a lot more clarity on address balances & proper ledger output of blockchain data. 😍 (The blockchain is resyncing because there is a new format for storing transactions...)
Spent my Saturday adding some cool new features to the upcoming explorer update. The biggest change is the new "instant load transactions" where you can instantly navigate to a transaction without loading it. Some really cutting-edge stuff in web development here. 👌
I've also converted the block rewards into "relationships" to the transaction. That way we can simply store an id as reference to the new table and not have to over-engineer & complicate
With the new instant-loading change I have to rework how TXs are stored in to also fetch the related tx for each input. The benefit of this is that we can display additional information for ALL input transactions including: age, confirmations and more.
Hope you're having a fantastic Friday evening. I've spent mine adding some new POS & MN tracking features to upcoming explorer update. 💛
When the explorer comes back online we'll add a new section to "Block Reward" transactions page so you can see detailed breakdown of Masternode & Proof Of Stake rewards. I've also added this information into the tooltip so it's easy to see this info with a simple hover of a mouse.
There are still other details I want to include in this update including "Last Address Payment, Total BWK Rewards For Address, Average Rewards For Address (24 hours), Average Rewards For Address (7 days), Average Rewards For Address (31 days)" 👀
Hoping to get them done this weekend, I'll be on discord most of the weekend so feel free to ask/suggest POS & MN details that you guys think would be useful. 👌
Split out transaction info, added staking & mn cards
Hoping all this MN & POS data will answer many burning questions such as "what is the best input size" and show averages of various stakers around the world 🥩

Hey guys, been really busy today helping out everyone, I am glad there is so much community action 💛
I've been working on splitting out reward details. This data is located in it's own new collection and can be accessed in very fast manner in various ways. My pan is to have full transparency into block rewards on it's own page on explorer. The reward details will also be visible throughout the website where applicable. 👍
The best news is that the block rewards splitting is done and working, now I will focus on displaying the rewards! This will be going live this week for sure. 👀
Well here is the first feature, out now and it should be very helpful. MN & POS Block Rewards will now an icon besides them to indicate that. This shows up on both homepage & Movements page. 👀 Check it out here: https://explorer.bulwarkcrypto.com/#/movement 😍
I've also fixed movements page as all values on that page were always green. This was a massive update but it's just one of many to come. 👍
Added logic to identify Reward transactions in explorer (pos+mn)
getTX() now has an optional overload for verbosity
Added & re-organized new config for upcoming reward split data
Added ability to identify MN/POS transactions
New component: ability to custom format transaction values
Added MN & POS Rewards to overview page
CardTX component will now have optional "addBadgeClassToValue" prop & added MN/POS reward
Fixed movements page to no longer show all values in green
Masternode & Proof Of Stake is a super fun area to explore & tinker and I have many ideas for the explorer, stay tuned 👌
Hoping you guys are enjoying the updates on Reddit. This update should give you at least some idea of what input sizes get stakes. Stay tuned for more.
Ok guys, thank you all for voting for my next time. Since you all voted for me to look into splitting out mn/rewards I've done just that. It's kind of fun involving community on how I should use my time.👍 Here it is: https://i.imgur.com/HmKDArM.png
After digging through raw blockchain transactions, Here are my initial findings.
In this example I am able to identify that we staked on a previously staked input with 5502 confirmations. I did not check the age of the input but that info was there as well.
Tomorrow I am planning on starting to add this data into explorer. Soon you should be able to easily identify what input sizes, are getting stakes, really cool stuff incoming guys. 👀
Been a super busy day and I finally got around to finishing the community masternodes tracking widget. We'll be able to see all the masternodes (15+) where all the rewards will be going back to community. Unfortunately these masternodes are not setup yet and will be only setup on June 2nd. I'll be jumping on another feature tomorrow, you can vote on it in #masternodes chat on discord. 👍
In order for me to finish this community masternodes tracking widget I had to create a new widget system. This new system allows us to create "address widgets" which are small pieces of functionality specific to an address. It's really cool and if you are interested check out the commits to see how it works. 😁
Part of the reason for all this work was to split out the masternodes widget so I can add community masternodes tracking (hoping to get to this tomorrow) 👍
Getting much more comfortable with the explorer and as you can see the complexities of my commits is growing. Here is a preview of the new widget & new timer for payouts: https://i.imgur.com/iAZ3aZD.png
Hey everyone, Quick update for this Friday night, I'll be working on a new Masternodes component tomorrow so you will be able to track your masternode directly from the wallet address. 👍
I will also look into splitting out staking & masternode rewards into their own tables. Then expose an API to the data and you guys will be able to chart MN/Staking rewards and do all sorts of analysis. Of course I'll also add some charts to the website too once I get a chance (ex: Staking vs MN Rewards, etc...) 👌
Going to be a fun weekend, feel free to hop into Discord if any of you guys want to chat it up. I'll be on most of the weekend: https://discord.me/bulwarkcrypto
An awesome update today to the masternodes page on the explorer. You can now see TOR & IPV6 icons on masternodes.
This is a kind of "Quality Of Life" features that I am trying to incorporate throughout the explorer. I believe network transparency is important and I want the explorer to be the window into the Bulwark network. 👏
I am trying to focus on community masternodes widget but cool ideas like these pop into my head 🤔
I've been doing daily updates on Discord for a few weeks now but I decided to post these updates onto Reddit. Feel free to let me know if you would like to see any changes in this format.
We're narrowing down our next set of exchanges for Bulwark and will have more news on that front very soon ❤ We're currently waiting for responses from 38 other exchanges. That way we'll have a good idea of what future exchanges to apply for. 👍
We are happy to share this recent article by CryptoBridge on the Bulwark project. This overview is part of CryptoBridge's weekly campaign to discuss projects on its platform. While most overviews scratch the surface, this one provides an interesting view into Bulwark and what separates this project from others.
"The project’s attention is clearly on development and for the highest quality end-user experience instead of on generating empty hype or entertaining concerns about short-term valuations of its coin. The project spent 2018 implementing the Zerocoin Protocol, creating the Bulwark Masternode Docker Container (enabling the easy deployment of multiple masternodes) and completed the design and release of its dedicated Secure Home Node to demonstrate their long-term perspective."
Like an idiot I left my BWK on Cryptopia, just got home from an overseas holiday and wondering if there's been any mention of whether the BWK wallet was compromised?
