Convert blockchain to XML?

[Taras]

If there's a way to do it (not manually of course) my life would be as many times easier as there are bitcoins belonging to Hal Finney.
It would be in this format:

Code:

<CHAIN>
<BLOCK>
<HEIGHT>1</HEIGHT>
<MINER>SATOSHI NAKAMOTO</MINER>
<HASH>00000000839a8e6886ab5951d76f411475428afc90947ee320161bbf18eb6048</HASH>

</BLOCK>
</CHAIN>

SINCE being the number of seconds elapsed between that block and the previous block,
and MINER being left as MINER UNKNOWN until modified manually.
I have noooo idea how to take the chain and reformat it like this, but it is going towards a really awesome project which looks like this.

Ignore the rows filled with x's. It will soon be the number of confirmations!
Anyways, if anyone would spill some experience on this, I would be forever grateful.

Are you asking for someone to reformat the blockchain in xml as you have above?  Or to take your xml blockchain and style it as you have presented below?  I'd probably use python or perl for the former, and XSLT for the latter.  PM me if you want to offer some bitcoins for this work.

This can be done. This file will be unwieldy to work with and amount to a 100GB+ file(s). Note that it will probably take a few days to parse through as well. Python + XML libs + a few "cloud" servers would get the job done though.
