Outputs (To) β
- Where the RMC is going
- Recipient address(es)
- Amounts sent to each
Amount β
- Total RMC transferred
- Shown in RMC
Fee β
- Small amount paid to miners
- Higher fee = faster confirmation (usually not necessary)
- Typical fee: 0.001-0.01 RMC
Size β
- Transaction size in bytes
- Larger transactions cost more in fees
Time β
- When transaction was broadcast
- When it was confirmed (in a block)
Block β
- Which block contains this transaction
- Link to view the full block
Understanding Block Details β
When you view a block:
Block Height β
- The block number in the chain
- Sequential (0, 1, 2, 3...)
- Higher number = more recent
Hash β
- Unique identifier for this block
- Created by mining process
- Links to previous block
Previous Block β
- Hash of the block before this one
- Click to go backward in the chain
Next Block β
- Hash of the block after this one

- Should be approximately 60 seconds after previous block
Miner β
- Address that mined this block
- Received the block reward
Block Reward β
- RMC paid to miner
- Includes base reward + transaction fees
Difficulty β
- How hard it was to mine this block

- Click any to view details
Understanding Address Pages β
When you search an address:
Balance β
- Current RMC balance
- What's available to spend right now
Total Received β
- All RMC ever received by this address
- Sum of all incoming transactions
Total Sent β
- All RMC ever sent from this address
- Sum of all outgoing transactions
Transaction Count β

Privacy and the Explorer β
What's Public β
Everything on the blockchain is public:
- All wallet addresses
- All balances
- All transactions (amounts, senders, recipients)
- All blocks and miners
Anyone can view this information. That's how blockchain transparency works.
What's Private β
The blockchain does NOT show:
- Real names or identities
- Physical locations
- Phone numbers or emails
- Any personal information
Unless you connect your identity to an address (like publicly sharing "this is my address"), your identity is pseudo-anonymous.
Privacy Tips β
To Improve Privacy:
- Use Different Addresses: Use new address for each transaction
- Don't Reuse Addresses: Harder to track your total balance
- Don't Publicly Link: Don't post your address with your real name
- Be Careful Sharing: Once you share an address, anyone can track it
- Remember: Everything is permanent and public
When Privacy Doesn't Matter:
- Mining payouts (everyone can see miners' addresses)
- Business addresses (meant to be public)
- Donation addresses (transparency is good)
Advanced Features β
Some explorers include extra features:
Rich List β
- Addresses with highest balances
- See wealth distribution
- Usually shows top 100 addresses
Mining Statistics β
- Pool distribution
- Hashrate charts
- Difficulty history
- Block time averages
Charts and Graphs β
- Transaction volume over time
- Network hashrate trends
- Price charts (if integrated)
- Active addresses
API Access β
- For developers building applications
- Query blockchain data programmatically
- See API documentation if available
Troubleshooting β
Can't Find a Transaction β
Possible Reasons:
- Transaction Not Yet Broadcast: Wait a few seconds
- Wrong TXID: Check you copied correctly
- Wrong Network: Make sure it's mainnet, not testnet
- Transaction Failed: Check sending wallet for errors
Solutions:
- Wait 1-2 minutes and refresh
- Double-check the transaction ID
- Check your wallet for transaction status
- Try searching your address instead
Can't Find an Address β
All addresses are findable, but:
- Address might have no transactions yet (new/unused)
- You might have the wrong address (typo)
- Double-check you copied the full address
Balance Seems Wrong β
Possible Reasons:
- Recent Transaction: May take a minute to show
- Unconfirmed Transaction: Won't show in balance until confirmed
- Wrong Address: Check you're viewing the correct address
- Wallet vs Explorer: Wallet may show "pending" differently
Solutions:
- Refresh the page
- Wait for confirmations
- Compare address carefully
- Check recent transactions
Explorer is Down or Slow β
What to Do:
- Wait a few minutes and try again
- Try a different explorer (if multiple exist)
- Check community channels for status updates
- Use your wallet's built-in transaction history as backup

Common Questions β
Is the explorer official? β
Different explorers may exist. Use ones provided by:
- Official Rhino Miner project
- Reputable pool operators
- Known community members
All explorers show the same blockchain data.
Does the explorer track me? β
The explorer website may log:
- Your IP address
- What you search for
- When you visit
But this is separate from blockchain data. Use a VPN if concerned.
Can I delete a transaction from the explorer? β
No. Blockchain transactions are permanent and immutable. Once confirmed, they can never be deleted or changed.
Why do some addresses have labels? β
Some explorers add labels for:
- Known exchanges
- Mining pools
- Known services
- Reported scam addresses
Labels are added by explorer operators, not the blockchain itself.
Can I use the explorer without internet? β
No. The explorer is a website that requires internet connection. It queries the live blockchain.
