[HOW TO] Gathering address tag from blockchain.info

[LKC]

Hi,

Follow up the previous post. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1145501.msg12185113#msg12185113

I did somehow develop a new heuristic to cluster Bitcoin address together using many kind of methods.

Now I want to evaluate the result. I found on blockchin.info that they have the tag for addresses.

However, I don't see how can I request the tag through their API.

Did anyone done something similar before?

(I also found this website, https://jsapi.apiary.io/apis/blockstem/reference/authentication.html

It provides the API to let you request for the address tag. Still trying to confirm what is the source of their tag with them.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is another idea to evaluate the result.

I was thinking maybe I can recreate the Bitcoin network with some models, and cluster the addresses in the artificial network.

With the artificial network, I might be able to know which addresses are in the same cluster in advance.

And compare it with the result after I cluster the addresses.

Just not sure if it is feasible.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Any idea or help are very much appreciated!!!
