Questions
What does “pruned” mean?
The node has verified the entire blockchain but keeps only the latest blocks on disk. It validates fully but cannot serve old blocks to other nodes. That is why it announces the service NETWORK_LIMITED instead of NETWORK.
Can I connect to the node?
Yes. The node accepts inbound connections over IPv4 and IPv6 and speaks the encrypted transport v2 (BIP 324): 109.202.204.217:8333 or [2a02:16a:1600:5011::250]:8333, for example with addnode in your bitcoin.conf.
Why is there no exchange rate?
The exchange rate does not come from the Bitcoin network but from exchanges. This page only shows what our own node knows and loads no third-party services.
Where do the numbers come from?
A collector queries the node over RPC every minute and writes the current state plus hourly and daily values to files. The page only reads these files; it never calls the node directly.
What does the status light show?
Twelve checks rate the node: reachability, sync, connections, mempool, storage and freshness of the data. The worst check determines the overall status; amber means degraded, red disrupted.
Privacy
This page stores no personal data, sets no cookies and loads nothing from third-party servers.
The addresses of connected peers are public data of the Bitcoin network. They appear only in the current state and are not stored in the history, which holds counts only.
The web server keeps access logs according to the hosting standard.
API
The data of this page is available as machine-readable JSON, without keys and without tracking.
/api/status.json- complete state, updated every minute
/api/kurz.json- height, connections, mempool, fees, latest blocks
/api/verlauf.json?name=verbindungen&fenster=7d- history of one series for 24h, 7d, 30d, 1j or alles
/api/bloecke.json?anzahl=48&ab=0- the latest blocks (at most 144)
/api/gesund- ok (200) or reason (503), for monitoring
