If someone worries:
“Blockchain explorers could get infected!”
The answer is simply:
Stop using third-party explorers.
Which is already happening.
That’s literally:
what Start9 exists for
what Umbrel exists for
what personal indexers exist for
what tools like BCI exist for
So the fear model depends on:
continued dependence on centralized web services.
Which is exactly what Bitcoin is eroding.
