Build Custom Index of Transaction Data? #109

Closed pkahly closed 5 years ago

pkahly commented 5 years ago

The experimental/transaction_age.py script calculates the average age of the UTXO that are spent by a block. (Time since they were created by another transaction).

It would also be interesting to have scripts for tracing a transaction's outputs forward to a UTXO list, and be able to identify the oldest UTXO, index transactions by address, etc.

The UTXO set could be accessed via levelDB directly, or another library/client, but some of the other statistics would have to be collected by doing a full scan of the blockchain.

IF that is done, it would ideally only be done once.

120 adds access to the utxo set, after using another program to dump the output to a file.

Closing this, as it is obsolete unless we really want to parse the entire blockchain.
