How the #$*@ did you end up a moderator?
As for you...
I friggen love you man. ( in a non-homo kind of way)
Uhm yeah....
Here is the PM I got, I will answer this in public.
You sir are a genius on a million different levels and i cannot thank you enough for your piece of software. I have not been able to get it to work yet.
Not sure what the problem is, its just a very simple jar file.
i have about a million addresses i want to check and i dont think it will handle that many, but i will get it figured out soon. I just wanted to write and express my gratitude to you for even attempting such a thing.
No it wont. It might accept 1 million lines, not sure about that, I never had to work with Java on that scale. I actually never had to work with anything on that scale. Anyway the bc.i API will certainly ban you. I dont see any personal use in checking a million addresses. Care to tell me why do you need to check so many? This code is definitly not company ready and I was under the impression that you are a person that wants to check the balance of your own address without the need of a wallet. E.g. to watch the balance of your paperwallets or something like that. Thats basically the extent what you can do with it. Put in a couple of addresses, run it and be happy that your paperwallets are still loaded. I probably understood the "a ton of" wrong in your first post.
Edit: I probably should have read the OP more carefully...
I had thought about going a similar route myself by installing the
insight-api to run locally then try and write either a ruby or php application to do the same thing as i am sure waking up every morning and checking the balance on a million addresses will get my IP banned from blockchain.info rather quickly so i thought it would be best to host the info locally.
Yes, this would be an option. This would however require you to follow DannyHamiltons advice and build a database, so my few lines of Java code will not help you there. If you allready have a local database that can just return a "getbalance" request you dont need an external tool that makes these requests.
Do you have skype by chance?
No, I actually get a bad feeling every time someone asks me whether I have skype. Call it personal experience.
while on my adventure of building a java interface to work with the insight-api i might run across some things i might have questions about, i do not know java myself but started learning it about 3 days ago, so as a newb to it all it would be nice to have someone who is knowledgeable about it that i can go to for things that stump me. kind of like a mentor as i try to figure it all out.
After I read this thread Id rather not help you. 1 Million keys is -as was argued allready by others above- not personal use. I have no idea what you are trying to do here and I honestly do not want to know.
The way you reacted [1] on gmaxwell's question make me not want to work with you, not even in the very unlikely case that you are indeed looking for an employee and need this for your very good running bussiness that legitematly has 1 million addresses (e.g. 1 for each customer) to track.
Enjoy the rest of your life.[1] see my 1st quote as well as this thread
