I am looking for a good software to parse the bitcoin blockchain so i can turn it into some sort of database in some sort of SQLish fashion. I have burnt out on how big of a POS npm that comes with Node.js is so therefore have to abandon insight-api as a solution.

I need something that is NON-linux as all of the other softwares are windows dependent and it has to run on windows server as that is the web host server we have.

any help would be appreciated, i have grown a few thousand more grey hairs this past week fighting with insight-api and more so NPM.

I guess you've found the Gyp issues then, a problem on almost every platform, quick fixes are available on linux, unsure about windows.

Take a look at this and notice blockchain64.exe https://github.com/jeffchan/blockchain-parser - I've only used it to produce statistics so far (on *nix), I cannot remember if you can dump everything to SQL or not.

Best of luck.

Yup found the Gyp issues, been begging for help almost everywhere but i get nothing but trolls most the time, so i have decided to take a different approach and just say screw it insight is a lost cause lacking in documentation and support.

Have you taken a look at BitcoinJ ? You can configure it to use a SQL database via JDBC.

I was just looking into bitcoinJ, unfortunately i know jack diddly about Java. I snagged up a copy of netbeans and have been doing a little poking around, but without someone to help me get on the right track i am afraid i would just be spinning my wheels for months which helps nobody.


In the end, it would be great if someone knew of a fix for the GYP crap with insight on windows but i think that ship has sailed. So i am on a quest for something that is already working, or close to working that i can tinker with to make work.
