I developed a method for analyzing the bitcoin blockchain using very simple analytical tools. While my initial work was with bitcoin it works with altcoins in general. I wrote a post describing the method and theory. In it I posted the MatLab files I used to perform the analysis.

I am not familiar with programing in general. I do not see any reason why these functions and methods can't be incorporated into abe's source code. They provide powerful description of these currencies and are very easily implemented.

I used abe to parse the bitcoin blockchain and greatly appreciate the effort that you put into developing the source code. Please take my work as a thank you for the work that you did.
