Show Current Block Reward

[MudDev]

With chains like x42 BTC and XDS, where the rewards decrease over time the information is outdated on the network page.

Is it possible to get the reward from the highest tip block instead of the consensus?

Example, for x42, It shows 20 here when the reward today is 2

I thought about this when I first made this, there might be rules (logic) implemented that will change this at random, or based on any kind of logic. Not sure how we can find the correct reward considering that PoW, PoS (hot and cold) creates different coinbase structures.

This is under the section: "Configuration (Consensus)", which is only showing the "hardwired" consensus rules for the network, it's not retrieved from the actual chain.

So one option could be to hide it depending on chain settings? Or even having a manual configuration value is also a way to do it.

[MudDev]

But if the block was accepted by the network, wouldn't that mean it fits the consensus rules so it would be fine to be dynamic. You wont have a PoW and a PoS reward in a single block...

EDIT: I seeeeeeeeee..... It could be random... Might need some manual config. :laughing::laughing:

Would require different logic, take this latest block on x42 I just picked:

https://explorer.blockcore.net/x42/explorer/transaction/13b36908bcaa55cc2a0a02f97a4bfae652bc0ca0e56e614df1d853c30597cd3b

The actual coinbase transaction has 0 coins output.

The second transaction is this:

https://explorer.blockcore.net/x42/explorer/transaction/0fc829a0af2016dbbc31b24d27ca62d7193e2b8c65d11b5eccebdbd2527a94e6

How is the indexer going to be able to see the reward from this?

Here is the JSON for this transaction:

Are we missing an important feature in the indexer? When I look at this block here you posted on the old x42 explorer, I see the reward.

@Dennis what explorer are you using for this?

[dennis]

@MudDev I am not the dennis you wish to notify :)

[sondreb]

@dangershony ? I can look at this perhaps later in the holiday.

[dangershony]

Ah this should be added to the RPC call for getblockchaininfo and then the indexer can serve the correct values. To get th correct value we need to fetch the coinview rule and call the method on there.

[sondreb]

You basically need to grab the coinstake transaction, take the output - input, and that is the block reward.
