Hi,

Follow up the previous post. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1145501.msg12185113#msg12185113

I did somehow develop a new heuristic to cluster Bitcoin address together using many kind of methods.

Now I want to evaluate the result. I found on blockchin.info that they have the tag for addresses.

However, I don't see how can I request the tag through their API.

Did anyone done something similar before?

(I also found this website, https://jsapi.apiary.io/apis/blockstem/reference/authentication.html

It provides the API to let you request for the address tag. Still trying to confirm what is the source of their tag with them.)

Here is another idea to evaluate the result.

I was thinking maybe I can recreate the Bitcoin network with some models, and cluster the addresses in the artificial network.

With the artificial network, I might be able to know which addresses are in the same cluster in advance.

And compare it with the result after I cluster the addresses.

Just not sure if it is feasible.

Any idea or help are very much appreciated!!!
