Description
It is feasible to identify the parent chain for a sidechain block as follows:
- Check bits, timestamp, height, and previous hash of parent block.
- Look for match by querying potential parent chains (via Bitcoin Core RPC). There may not be an exact match since the parent chain might have re-orged. However, it will pretty much always be obvious which parent chain is the single close match.
We should do this in order to display the parent chain for each block.
