Reproduce clustering on another machine? #373

Closed jiagengliu closed 4 years ago

BlockSci version: v0.6 Blockchain: Bitcoin

I was wondering if clustering is deterministic and/or reproducible on another machine? In particular, can we retrieve the parameters used to create a cluster, such as start, end, and/or heuristic?

Thank you so much.

It should be deterministic, though I believe due to the linkScripthashNested step during clustering it will currently only produce the same results if the chain objects are the same (i.e. have the same height)

Thank you! Is there a way to retrieve the height, start, end, and/or heuristic information from an existing cluster?

maltemoeser commented 4 years ago

No, that information isn't stored in the clustering.

I wish it were. Thanks though!
