Chart for a specific Bitcoin address only shows for today #489

Closed kireerik closed 8 years ago

kireerik commented 8 years ago

I would like to get an all time chart on the following interface: https://blockchain.info/charts/balance?address=3NVXE53nFT5x6D6V6j4qAZGcw8RR1wrNV9

Although the chart re-renders, clicking the different timespan links does not change the chart and the appropriate markers.

This issue is related to blockchain.info (https://github.com/zootreeves/blockchain.info/issues/11).

This chart only shows the last 500 events for any given address. As this address is very popular (>24k transactions), 500 events only cover one day unfortunately

kireerik commented 8 years ago

I think it should work for unlimited events. May I ask you why do you limit it?

alecalve commented 8 years ago

Some addresses (like 1dice8EMZmqKvrGE4Qc9bUFf9PX3xaYDp) have received millions of transactions. Plotting all of them would put too much strain on our servers.

kireerik commented 8 years ago

I see. Are you planning to support unlimited events for this type of chart? For example you could cache the results on the server side to save on your server resources or delegate the calculations to the client side.

alecalve commented 8 years ago

There's no plan for it right now, but it's not out of the question.

kireerik commented 8 years ago

Can you recommend me an online service where I can see such a chart for all time?

alecalve commented 8 years ago

You could try blockonomics's wallet watcher, but I don't know if it'll do exactly what you wish.

kireerik commented 8 years ago

Thank you for recommending this service. Actually notifications are a great feature, but the graphs has the exact same limitations as your service. I think lots of users would appreciate if you could support unlimited events for graphs. It is crucial when you wish to explore and analyze the Blochain. I will describe my scenario just to show you how important can it be.

Recently I am experimenting with BitMinister, which is a gambling or better to say ponzi game advertised as a Cloud Mining Platform. It has potential ponzi scheme characteristics. The linked address chart is their basic address.

So in this case I would like to see and monitor (manually) their full balance history. So I can guess the best time to withdraw my funds and newer play again their game, because the operators will potentially shut down the service and potentially keep gamers' funds to take their profit.

I have found the service that supports all-time charts for a specific bitcoin address. It is called Blocktrail BTC.

However I think it would be great to have such a feature on blockchain.info as well.

Update: BTC.com is even better.

alecalve commented 8 years ago

I didn't know about this Blocktrail feature, thanks for letting me know.

kireerik commented 8 years ago

Neither did I.

Hi @alecalve, currently the previously mentioned chart doesn't loads at all. Only the following error message is shown:

Error loading chart data

alecalve commented 8 years ago

Hum, I cannot reproduce, it works fine for me.

kireerik commented 8 years ago

Now it is working again for me as well. :) Anyway this temporary issue was address independent.
