Title: is there an open bitcoin - statement of account in the Blockchain?
Post by: klaus on June 12, 2011, 05:00:49 PM
Perhaps this is a stupid question. If so - sorry.

Is there a possibility to see how much bitcoins are in each "account" to show?

Is this Information in the Blockchain?

If you define account as one wallet file, then no.  Each address in a wallet is a single independent public/private keypair.  There's no way to correlate two addresses without resulting to meta-information (having done business with both, tracking the transactions of both, etc.).  You can find out how much is in each ADDRESS, but not how much is in the collection of addresses that a single person owns, since there is no way to know how many or what addresses he owns.

It is possible, with a paper trail. If there are no way to figure out what the transaction is about, and the coins belongs to who, then it's difficult.

Right, but sans such meta-data, there's nothing that correlates two addresses.
