I would really prefer chain=<chainID> over network=<chainPetnameStr> By chainID I mean the hash of the genesis block, see https://github.com/jtimon/bitcoin/commit/3191d5e8e75687a27cf466b7a4c70bdc04809d39 I'm completely fine with doing that using an optional parameter (for backwards compatibility). I agree with Andreas Schildbach that respecting the most commonly used schemes is desirable. So my preference would be: /tx/3b95a766d7a99b87188d6875c8484cb2b310b78459b7816d4dfc3f0f7e04281a?chain=000000000933ea01ad0ee984209779baaec3ced90fa3f408719526f8d77f4943 (a tx in testnet) /block/00000000000000000b0d504d142ac8bdd1a2721d19f423a8146d0d6de882167b?chain=000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f (a block in bitcoin's mainnet) _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
