Title: List of all bitcoin addresses
Post by: Fizpok on July 08, 2013, 01:54:52 PM
Hi,
I am doing some stst. analysis, and I am looking for a list, chronologically, of bitcoin history

date, address, amount
...

from the beginning of time till now.

How can I produce this list, in an easy way, if possible?
Or maybe it exists, so how can I download it?
It is the same as bitcoin data, just in plain text format (SQLite will probably do also).

Thank you.

You may just ask for the transaction data here in the forum.
As a start, I'll provide the transactions from the beginning of time to December, 2008:
Code:
+----------+-----------------------------------+---------------+
|date      |address                            |amount         |
+----------+-----------------------------------+---------------+

:-)

Yes! I am asking!
Would you please provide these data, how big is the file, and how can I receive it? Should I create some uplolad place, or will e.mail handle this amount ( I mean, it was before the data chain increased to gigabytes, right?)?
And where did it came from? Meaning, is there a way of getting the rest of data from the same source?

Thank you.

You missed the joke.  That was the list.

Notice that OnkelPaul said "transactions from the beginning of time to December, 2008".  Bitcoin did not exist prior to Decemeber, 2008.  Therefore there are exactly 0 bitcoin transactions before that date.

The blockchain IS the list of all transactions since the beginning of bitcoin.  Therefore, I'd expect that the list you are looking for will be rather large.  It sounds like you're only looking for the output side of the transaction.  Note that transactions do not have dates or times.  However, transactions do exist within blocks and those blocks have timestamps that can provide a date.  This won't necessarily mean that the transaction was received on that date.  Only that it got it's first confirmation on that date.

I'm not aware of anything that will give you the data you are looking for in the format that you desire.  If you don't have the skill to write a computer program to parse the blockchain, you'll probably have to hire someone else to do it.  I could probably get it done for you within 3 weeks if you were willing to pay 300 bitcoin for the effort.  Perhaps someone else will come along who will offer a lower bid.  Of course if you accept a bid that is too low, you run the risk of the bidder missing their deadline.

http://blockexplorer.com/ is a good way to see the raw blocks. It's not going to be formatted the way you're requesting but using a program like HTTrack to download the whole site would get you all the data.

Just write a blockchain parser.
