			==History==

			Many of the real-time stats pages existed before Bitcoin Block Explorer at http://theymos.ath.cx:64150/q. ''getdifficulty'' and ''getblockcount'' were created around July 2010, with ''decimaltarget'', ''probability'', ''hashestowin'', ''nextretarget'', ''totalbc'', and ''bcperblock'' coming soon after. These pages were made in response to block and difficulty values being "hard-coded" into text on the old wiki, which quickly made the information obsolete.

			Bitcoin Block Explorer was first made available around November 2010 at http://theymos.ath.cx:64150/bbe. It was initially meant to be the Bitcoin equivalent of [http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/ TorStatus], dumping all important data about the network. After it became much more popular than the real-time stats pages, BBE was moved to http://blockexplorer.com/, and real-time-stats were moved to http://blockexplorer.com/q.
