Anyone calculate amount of UTXO spent after Aug 1st on BCH chain?

[adaseb]

Wondering just how much of the Bitcoin Cash coins were actually sold. This seems like a very easy task, just need to calculate the total sum of all the UTXO after Aug 1st compared to today on the Bitcoin Cash chain.

Any easy way to do this on Python or if somebody already have calculated this for fun?

There is no way of knowing how much was "sold" using the blockchain.
But out of curiosity from block 478558 which was the fork, 22,093,618.96 BCC was transferred in 5288 blocks.

Process I used:
- Go to https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/blocks
- Exclude blocks before fork height https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/blocks?q=id(478558..)&s=id(desc)
- Export .CSV file
- In excell get the sum of input_total column.

Obviously this is not accurate either because this includes the change and the fees but not block reward.

I am not sure what input_total column would refer to, but I think it might be the sum of coins from all the inputs in those last blocks. This would include inputs from transactions that took place after the fork as well. Only the first block after fork would have all it's inputs from transactions before the fork, the second one could already have a transaction from the previous block as an input.

Why don't you just take all the UTXO at the fork block and see which were spent, should be very accurate way of measuring.

Because I don't have the full blockchain at my disposal so I have to look for workarounds. If you have the blockchain and know how to read it then you can have a lot of fun trying different stuff
