top rich address

[gigamike]

Guys,

any idea on how to get the top 100, top 1000,top 10000 or top N rich addresses. I saw some site was able to extract it i.e.

http://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html
http://btc.ondn.net/

Do they use an API or what do you think they scrap data?

TIA,

Mike

They manually check every aingle Bitcoin Address to see who has the most funds.

No seriously.

i see, are they not using some sort of c++ bitcoin block parser?

Yea I was kidding, they're using a script to check every address and the funds of them.

script is/was public AFAIK (but I have no link), search on Github obv

1. Download the blockchain http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/blockchain/bootstrap.dat.torrent/download
2. Parse it with a custom script https://github.com/znort987/blockparser
3. Profit


alternatively just go to http://bitcoinrichlist.com/top100

hi,

thanks for the help

by the way so at the end of the day i need compare btc address each to identify top N address right? Is there any way i can just query.

scrapping other site is my last option i guess.

Thanks,

Mike
