This brand new tool is interesting for every Asset issuer: Connect better with your shareholders - send an encrypted message with a personalized password to a closed web area.
A new tool to reach out to my 17 shareholders, to celebrate the 1 month birthday of AAssetHZ. See the program output, or homepage

assetparser.py
Make sure you have all the available information  before  you invest into an asset.

preview 2015 March 21st:

I am parsing the HZ & NXT blockchains to find out more about all traded assets.

• The above is just a preview. There are more columns, and rows.
• And similiar information for Nxt - where I could find out more (because of the newer API)!

I can sell you the full information, or even the python script that generates the information.

Contact me with your offer.


And/Or:

• Try/buy my new software AltFolio - new service with all-in-one chart for easy tracking - ALTCoinPortFOLIO
• Invest into my dividends paying asset with which I sell some of my future profits.
• Follow me: - Twitter - Diaspora - Facebook - Youtube - Bitcointalk - NxtForum - BitcoinGarden

column explanations

____________________________
ID	Never trust only an asset “name” - the name needs not be unique; only the ID assures you are trading in the right market!
number of trades	simple count of trades since the asset was born, until today.
Sum of Trades (HZ)	sum (price*amount) over all those trades = total HZ volume since asset was born.	total volume of all HZ asset trades is ~1/8 billion HZ
Sum of Trades (#assets)	sum (amount) over all trades.
weighted mean price (HZ/asset)	traded HZ total / traded assets total number = mean price (with large trades counting more than small trades).
Oldest price	first ever recorded price (i.e. could be the IPO price).
Newest price	last ever recorded price (this is close to what you have to pay per asset now).
MaxPrice / oldestPrice	Maximum factor of what initial buyer could have gained (if he had sold at the price maximum = luckiest).
oldestPrice / MinPrice	Maximum factor of what an initial buyer could have lost (if he had sold at the price minimum = unluckiest).
Sum of Trades, BTC approx.(*)	Assuming constant 0.00000120 BTC/HZ (which is a pretty good assumption over the whole time, but definitely not correct).	total volume of all HZ asset trades is ~150 BTC
Sum of Trades, USD approx.(*)	Assuming constant 300 USD/BTC (which is a pretty good assumption over the whole time, but definitely not correct).	total volume of all HZ asset trades more than 40,000 US-$

Anyone interested in seeing some of the data?

[autodiv]

Nice job. Keep up the great work!

Nice job. Keep up the great work!

Thanks  

28 columns:
6 informative columns already given in the asset data
12 by cleverly parsing the connected objects (assets, trades, orders/transactions, issuer accounts)
10 by again combining the connected & combined data

when's liftoff?

[altsheets]

when's liftoff?

Soon. Very soon.


By the way, there is some preliminary comparative statistics of the different asset platforms (XCP, MSC, bitshares ...) in my other thread:
With data from CAC cryptoassetcharts.info and from CMC coinmarketcap.com. Then I analyzed descriptions and numeric properties of HZ assets.


And here, in this assetparser.py thread ... soon there will be more analysis. Stay tuned.

[altsheets]

Sliced tables,
inspected data,
made tough decisions,
created statistics,
wrote 6 pages (!) of essay. Wow ...

... what a day!

The last mystery of my nerd adventure trek
into the belly of the HZ blockchain API ...

EXTRACTS ONLY, READ THE FULL STORY HERE(question) AND HERE(answer).


Solved!

... The background story is easy to tell:
I wrote an assetparser.py to prepare my own assetlaunch
- by studying at the other assets.
Analyzing the output, I stumbled over a strange data artifact:
The "real marketcap" (definition of that new observable is in my soon-to-be-published study)
... of one of the HZ assets ... became zero!

How is that possible, as the asset had already been traded?  
So I dug deeper, and asked around in many places. nxtforum, here, slack.

On the basis of the easily available data, there was no sufficient explanation: ...

However, the necessary data for checking my suspicion was a bit tricky to get, because ...
So tonight I created this Workaround for getAssetTransfers&asset= ...

I would like to know which assets in the NXT and NXT-derived currencies already and presently pay dividends. Any experiences and recommendations?

That is a VERY good question, and I would love to integrate that into my assetparser.py
when I find the time (sponsoring/monetization ideas would accelerate it).

If dividend payments can be spotted on the blockchain API, it should be possible to somehow implement it.

My first hope that dividends are a specific type/subtype message,
was just disappointed - for HZ i.e. Nxt 1.2.9 = nope (link to localwallet),
but YIEHAH:
In Nxt 1.4.16, there is a type/subtype (type: 2 = "Colored coins" , subtypes: 6 = "Dividend payment" - link to Nxt-localwallet)

So this is how I understand it:

• old dividends won't be able to be found
  (because subtypes: 6 was introduced only recently)
• newer dividends which still use (type: 0  = "Ordinary payment")- payments ... won't be able to be found
• newer dividends which use (type: 2, subtype: 6) should actually be identifiable.

Very good idea / inspiration. Thanks Hubus!
Unanswered now, but possibly answerable in the future!

Welcome - it's in our all interest...! Maybe you could integrate a voluntary user report/feedback into your software: Users report about their asset, if and how much dividends it pays. You could control it manually afterwards or find some way to automate or let it be confirmed by the other users (like "up- and downvoting")...

That good idea sounds very much like a good candidate for the "trusted assets" section on the main site.

assetparser.py however -at this stage of its evolution-
will stay a blockchain API data eating machinery,
with no "soft data" from users entering.
What is on the blockchain, and confirmed, has an objectivity to it
that no "user reporting about their asset" will ever be beat
;-)

I think, assets should simply use the subtype 6 form of dividends payments, and all is cool, then a future version of assetparser.py will be spotting them. For Nxt it is possible, for HZ still future music. I am actually wondering what happens, if someone created a subtype 6 coloured coins transaction, and tries to input that into the current HZ3.8 - is that possible at all, or would it get refused, could it be found on the blockchain afterwards?  But anyways: from what I hear, the next major upgrade of the HZ base code is not too far away - and then it is solved, for future dividends, anyways.

Thanks for your ideas! More more more ;-)

Yes, sites like that are helping Nxt and Nxt users a lot,
let's hope that something similar is built for HZ soonish!



Actually, a static/snapshot overview of existing assets,
and over 20 observables to compare them well ...
... I am targetting in my assetparser.py project.

It is a script which eats all it can find (actually, which I teach it to digest)
about assets in the HZ/Nxt API, and mangles it into descriptive statistics,
to be analyzed in a 107x27 cells big (for HZ) or 488x28 cells big (for Nxt)
spreadsheet.

I have already written 6 pages report about my methods and findings,
and will publish that soonish. Still, I don't know how to monetize it
- so I am reluctant to just release it for free. Any idea is welcome.

It's another way of looking at what is there, and
can perhaps also be used to choose what to invest in.

Any questions, I am happy to answer.

Isn't that part of your altsheets/altfolio software family asset? Or did you just mean the price of the particular software (so it's not one package which includes all?)?

I see. I need to explain this better.
Perhaps I need to make a diagram how all these things connect with each other?

Yes, it is part of it. So the profits from it will partly shared as dividends to AAssetHZ holders !

The question now is - How to generate those profits? Both
* the 107x27 cells and 488x28 cells big tables (of the current snapshot of HZ and Nxt) can be paid for by someone who really wants to know well what is going on in the HZ & Nxt asset markets. And
* the assetparser.py code can be paid for, either for personal use (cheaper), or public use (more expensive), or exclusive use (let's discuss a deal).
* my study (already 6 pages) in which I describe my methods, and findings - can be paid for.

Or did you just mean the price of the particular software (so it's not one package which includes all?)?

What I mean is explainable
by what I do not want to do:
If I now released the whole study and spreadsheet-tables and sourcecode for free ...

• then the reader may be happy to learn more about HZ asset markets, and the HZ platform might even be boosted, because more assets are bought, other asset owners benefit because their asset gets exposure, etc ...
• but if no one sends any donations afterwards - which is what often happened to me - ...
• ... then neither I am getting anything for my work,
• nor my investors will get dividends.

So that's why:

Let us think how to monetize this. Any idea is welcome.
