Blockchain Visualization

[mjc]

I'm writing a tool to visualize the blockchain using Maltego.

Just last evening I have the core of it working.

Three Entity types:
- Block
- Transaction
- Address

One transform written for
Block -> Get Previous Block


Next I'm going to write
Block -> Get Transactions

I'm using Block Explorer web site as the Source of Record.

I'd like to get to the point, that you can transform
Address -> Get Related Transactions

From looking at some pictures in various articles about transactions, I see what looks like people already using some sort of transaction visualization tool set, but I cannot find the code anywhere.

Once I get this working I will open source it.

Maltego Community edition is free.  I purchased my own Commercial License of maltego.  I think it will work better with the commercial because the the community edition has some limitations like only being able to see 12 responses per transform.  With the number of transactions in a block, or that might be associated with an address this could be a limitation that makes it difficult to use with the community edition.

If anyone is interested in this let me know.

I have the transform for get associated transactions working.  It can get really big fast.

Any suggestions of visualizations?

I'll get this out to Google code in a bit.

I have not seen that before it looks cool.

I would like to, do you have an API or anything available? We should talk, I want to understand what we'd be visualizing better.

Cheers,
