Curent Monero blockchain explorer websites exist in the clearnet. Although useful,
their limitations are that they use JavaScript, have images

track users activates through google analytics, are not open sourced, and are not
available as hidden services. These things are of importance
for privacy-oriented users.
In this example, these limitations are addressed by development of
an Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer. It is build in C++,
and it not only shows how to use Monero C++ libraries, but also demonstrates how to

Curently avaliable Monero blockchain explorer websites exist in the clearnet. Although useful, they have several limitations which or of special importance to priavcy-oriented users:
- they use JavaScript,
- have images which might be used for [coockless tracking](http://lucb1e.com/rp/cookielesscookies/)),
- track users activates through google analytics,
- are closed sourced,
- are not available as hidden services, and
- have very only basic search capapilites.
In this example, these limitations are addressed by development of
an Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer. The example not only shows how to use Monero C++ libraries, but also demonstrates how to use:

- [lmdb++](https://github.com/bendiken/lmdbxx) - C++ wrapper for the LMDB
