Blockchain back in order, blocks relayed by real names of mining pools.

<p>There was an update to the site that changed its behavior to no longer properly identify who relayed blocks.</p>

<p>Until they fix the issue, you can use other blockexplorers to find the information.</p>

thank you, since my conference paper abstract has been accepted I need to attach 50+ pages of stats + charts. Since coin.dance publishes blocks by mining pool chart, tell me how to access raw data as provided by the Blockchain in the past and how to download block headers ?  api.blockcypher.com/v1/btc/main/blocks/491658 is great but made alike modification, setting every nonce to "0", making block data useless for any R&D study.  any idea ?

from https://blockchain.info/pools      " A large portion of Unknown blocks does not mean an attack on the network, it simply means we have been unable to determine the origin."

I dont know if coin.dance/blocks can give you raw data. there is many block explorers available (google for bitcoin block explorer), and you can always download and setup a bitcoin node then use the jsonrpc functions to query the data directly from you own node.

Thank you Jonathan,  knowing the right search term "bitcoin block explorer" is a key to success. Still work hard to get access to download all block headers in json or another format.

<p>only last week I could study which mining pool signed latest blocks.
Today this option turned status to Unknown</p>

<p><a href="https://blockchain.info/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://blockchain.info/</a></p>

<p>Any idea?</p>

Why all blocks at Blockchain are relayed by Unknown now?

There was an update to the site that changed its behavior to no longer properly identify who relayed blocks.

Until they fix the issue, you can use other blockexplorers to find the information.

Given your stated usecase, I suggest you look at <http://coin.dance/blocks>
