Title: Graph-based blockchain browsing, looking for feedbacks
Post by: razibuzouzou on March 28, 2014, 07:44:02 PM
Hey,

I am currently playing with arbor.js, a neat graph visualization library.
I just added to Coinorama a new feature based on it. You're now able to graph transactions and addresses : http://www.coinorama.net/blockchain

Open any address, block or transaction and you'll see a button to open the graph window.
If some of you are interested in blockchain forensics, have a look and tell me what you think :-)

Cheers !

just played around with it - super cool use of arbor.

how do you expand inputs or outputs to see deeper nodes?

Click right, then open details window, you'll be able to spawn new nodes from there.

This is great. I'm having trouble expanding the nodes also. The menu doesn't appear. (Macintosh OS X 10.9.2, Chrome 33.0.1750.152, no errors in the console).

I'm putting together something similar myself for a service called QuantaBytes (http://www.quantabytes.com) but I'm not as far as you.

Thanks :)

When you move your mouse over a node, is it highlighted ?
I'll try to debug the site in chrome, I use firefox on my development box.

Thumbs up for quanta bytes !

Very good!

I've been working with the same tool but in another prespective and i've noticed the graph freaks out when you draw a transaction like this one  https://blockchain.info/tx/4b5f503c7c1b03ff6795af6b395df6f46ee6905013303a40d705a9d69474c4a8 (https://blockchain.info/tx/4b5f503c7c1b03ff6795af6b395df6f46ee6905013303a40d705a9d69474c4a8).
Maybe it's something wrong with arbor, not sure if it's the number of nodes or something else.
Hope you find a way around it and keep up the good work.

Indeed, it seems like arbor is overloaded, and in addition, drawing the graph is quite expensive because of the labels...
I'll try to find some workaround, thanks for the feedback !

Yes, the node is the highlighted.

Hey, I pushed a little update which could hopefully fix this issue. Could you give a try ?
