Title: script to get only first block from all blk*.dat files Post by: aitsam on November 25, 2019, 02:46:45 PM Sorry if that question is already asked and answered earlier, but I couldn't find it in this forum.
I am testing bitcoin data by using different filters. Now I want to write a script which will only consider the first block in blk*.dat file. I am confused about where to start. Your help will be highly appreciated. Thank you Title: Re: script to get only first block from all blk*.dat files Post by: aitsam on November 26, 2019, 09:20:14 AM I don't know the technical details, but for starters : 1. Bitcoin Core use LevelDB 2. blk*.dat have fixed maximum size, so you might only get partial data of the "first" block in a blk*.dat file 3. Bitcore Core use obfuscation key on LevelDB, see https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/50902 (https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/50902) for detailed info P.S. this sounds like XY problem, what are you trying to accomplish by get only first block from all blk*.dat files ```````````````````````````````````` I am testing some filters and it turns out that at a specific block the code get stuck, I want to find that block and run test on it separately. |
