Title: Using Armory CPP or Python to scan blockchain...
Post by: tpofo on August 22, 2015, 04:08:43 AM
I've been having some fun playing around with Armory code and using the API.  I would like to scan the blockchain and probe it for different statistics of interest.
Mainly, for now, I would like to generate BTC address lists of top balances, etc...  Is there an easy builtin function to do this?  I don't mind if it is with python frontend code or the CPP backend code.  Whichever is easiest and most straightforward.

Thanks in advance for any help.

There is no direct Python nor C++ code for that purpose. You would have to build a supernode DB and write a simple method to parse all SSH and order by balance.

Thanks for the reply. I will look into this.  I know there are some other APIs out there that do block parsing.  But, I do like armory code and would love to use it to generate my own interesting statistics on the blockchain.

As an aside, you don't think there would be some way using some of the lower calls, like in blockutils, to just dump addresses, balances, and sort using the standard(not supernode) sorted armory database?
