Pox address conversion for delegation calls

Open agraebe opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

The Explorer converts the pox_addr params for stacking contract calls but not yet for delegation calls. It would be great to enable the conversion for:

  • stack-aggregation-commit
  • delegate-stack-stx
  • delegate-stack

@muneeb-ali noted that in addition to the methods above, the explorer also doesn't show addresses that stack using BTC transactions

As for delegation calls: showing the reward address would make it possible to review if a delegation integration works as expected, which is critical because the testnet doesn't pay out rewards (another signal integrators would look for when reviewing).

cc @markmhx would be great if this issue could be reviewed in one of your upcoming planning sessions.

@agraebe can you clarify the "testnet doesn't pay out rewards" part?

I was under the impression that testnet rewards wouldn't be paid out, but I was wrong. This cURL shows rewards going out to testnet stackers:

curl -X GET 'https://stacks-node-api.testnet.stacks.co/extended/v1/burnchain/rewards'

For this issue, it means there's another signal integrators have that they can look for. But, it would be great to show the decoded BTC address in the explorer for quick checks, too.

Is this a fairly nice-to-have enhancement for the moment given integrators have this other signal available? Or does it have urgency despite that availability?

Considering the alternative probably a medium priority
