[ANN] chainsnort (live transaction monitoring and fingerprinting tool)

Which version of websocket do you use? Somehow my install says

Code:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'create_connection'

Installed using pip

This should be the correct library: https://github.com/liris/websocket-client
"Pip install websocket" should grab it, IIRC...
Which version of Python do you have?
2.7 would work best.

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/websocket-client/

"pip install websocket-client" <-- the client part might be actually important! (otherwise you'd get https://pypi.python.org/pypi/websocket/ )

Thanks for pointing this out, https://pypi.python.org/pypi/websocket-client/ is indeed the correct one.

Version 0.415 is now available.

Changes:
- millisecond display for timestamps
- switched to UTC format for timestamps (will make that an config option soon)
- fixed transaction density calculation on Linux / OS X

What would it take, to get you to either do a gist, or put this on github proper, to make it easy to stay up to date?

I might put up a gist soon, but it could take a little while, as I have to deal with a serious issue right now, which is taking up a lot of mental energy - I prefer not to go into detail. In the meantime, please watch or subscribe to this thread for updates.  

Thanks!

Try using wget instead of pip for a quick and dirty way to fix the issue:

Code:

wget https://raw.github.com/liris/websocket-client/master/websocket.py

It worked, thank You so much!

2.7. I had to grab the websocket-client package, didn't work without it. Maybe you should update your docs...

May I suggest sticking the script on github? Using copy and paste is really annoying, especially with python due to the indentation problems.

Thanks for the help!

I've just made a quick gist with the latest version.
When I have more time, I'll put up a proper little web page for it.

Version 0.42.2 is ready... (I just changed the version numbers so they make more sense, at least to me...)

Changes:
- Switched to fully encrypted websockets (WSS protocol)
- Minor code cleanup

Source code only for now - Windows build will follow soon.

[flatfly]

Windows build for 0.42.2 is ready, and as a way to thank early users, it is the color version that is currently available for free. (See link and signatures in OP)

[bitpop]

Colors!

Edit: Not getting colors. Also, I don't see any code for the easter egg.

I think only the executable windows version has colors and the easter egg

Nice!

Actually installing chainsnort on OS X is really easy. Just copy and paste into a terminal:

1/ curl -o websocket.py https://raw.github.com/liris/websocket-client/master/websocket.py

2/ curl -o chainsnort.py https://gist.github.com/flatfly/8253870/raw/9733e34e469e1bcd8d0ae13565ade4eaa0490618/gistfile1.py

3/ python chainsnort.py

I have just updated the OP with some legal stuff, to cover some use cases - However it's still a draft while I work out a proper license. Feel free to ask if there are any questions.  (I'll be offline until tomorrow, though)

Now performing some (very early) testing of the bitcoind RPC connector...

Good luck! I'm really looking forward to the RPC version:)
