Migrating to other services
I'm running into issues both with mattercloud (raised their min fee) and with bitdb (server appears overloaded).
On my local system I'm moving towards whatsonchain over mattercloud and bitbus over bitdb. Here's information on the need to migrate off bitdb: https://twitter.com/_unwriter/status/1258909808780029953?s=20
It would really help in the long term if these interfaces were abstracted so multiple backends for the same thing could be switched when one is down.
I did some work towards that on https://github.com/xloem/bitfiles some time ago, most work never got committed.
Yes, multiple backend is good.
BTW, there is a new api service established, https://metasv.com/ It's free for now.
