Hi All

I would like to do a hobby project in c++/Dx11 using transaction data from the BTC blockchain.

Whats the easiest way to get an extract into an easy format to work with (csv/txt etc etc)? it doesnt need to be live data, just a large sample starting at the first block.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Learn how the to use the command line tools.

For example:

Code:

bitcoin-cli getblockhash 1

That will give you the block hash of block 1. Then run:

Code:

bitcoin-cli getblock <blockhash>

That will print data about the block data, including transactions. Take a transaction ID and use:

Code:

bitcoin-cli gettransaction <txid>

You can make app that uses the RPC interface just like bitcoin-cli does to automate this.

If you use RPC, make sure to set txindex=1 on your client so that it keeps track of all transactions, not just your own.
