Hello,

I've been playing around recently with adding this functionality to my bitcoind front-end.

Those of you who aren't running full nodes will not find this useful. However, if you do have a full node, you can do all of this locally without external API requests. It may even be faster (I have not tested chainsnort, so I do not know.)

At the moment this is just a proof of concept and does the absolute bare minimum required. No highlighting or anything fancy, just spews out transactions to the terminal. The idea is there though.
