Title: Blockchain Research - Need TXT, CSV or similar Post by: freedombit on April 01, 2014, 05:12:54 AM I am interested in doing research on the blockchain, but want to work with raw data, and have a couple questions:
1) Is there a way to download the complete blockchain onto a local computer in a TXT, CSV or tab-delimited file? (I am not interested in mining, just looking at the data.) 2) Will most personal laptop computers have the processing power and memory capacity to run standard queries on the blockchain? Thanks in advance for your help! BTW - I think a website, app, or software tool that can allow the general public to do Blockchain research would be great to start creating more mass adoption. The more people understand, the more they are likely to trust the system. I looked around a bit, but didn't find anything.

But you can do the query directly in bitcoind also, works nice!
