Title: How to get information about all transactions like blockexplorer?
Post by: bitcoinex on January 30, 2011, 02:57:54 PM
I want to make a database similar to blockexplorer for internal usage.

blockexplorer uses a patch to access to such information on bitcoind. Maybe it makes sense to make such a patch as part of the official client?

I do have a working implementation of the protocol that uses an event driven approach to communication. It'll allow you to get real time events from the wire without having to rely on the Bitcoin client to notify you or even worse, having to pull data out of it at regular intervals.

What sort of backend are you using? A database?

tcp -> bitcoin data struct decoding -> sql ?

I never really thought about this way. I'll do then, it will be interesting.
