Ich hatte den MILC oder jetzt MLT eigentlich schon abgeschrieben... Ich dachte, da wird nie wieder was rauskommen. Um so mehr reibe  ich mir seit Wochen die Augen, wenn ich mir den Kurs (aus Versehen) anschaue. Irgend was scheinen die im Moment richtig zu machen! Nun, mir soll es recht sein! Smiley

Habe gar nicht mitbekommen das es diesen Tokens noch gibt? Wo wird dieser Tokens überhaupt gehandelt und (auch wenn es anscheinend nicht mehr entscheidend ist) was für einen Sinn und nutzen hat dieser Tokens? Ist zwar nicht On Topic aber ist es subjektiv oder wird das Welt der Wunder TV Programm auch immer schlechter?

Uhm .. naja gehandelt wird der offenbar irgendwo auf einer der wirren dezentralen exchanges. Ich hab tatsächlich einen teil meiner erhaltenen MLT längst abgestoßen.

Zum eigentlichen fernsehprogramm kann ich nix sagen, da ich keinen tv mehr nutze. Wink

Heya, i wanna do a private airdrop for a asset on the stellar chain. My only goal is to get more people creating a trustline to that specific asset and then answer with their federation or wallet address so i can send them their token.

Is that still ok over here? Wink

Seems like your giveaway incentivizes posting within one or more specific threads ("answer with their federation or wallet address") in exchange for altcoins ("a asset on the stellar chain"). So no, it's not allowed. You're free to post an announcement for your giveaway in Bounties (Altcoins) but accept entries via Bitcointalk PM (either ask users to PM you or PM a user specifically created for the airdrop). You can also accept entries off-site (e.g. via Google Forms).

I see, perfect... Thanks for your quick answer! Awesome. Wink

Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. Existing threads will be locked.

Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.

Auf der ICO-Webseite ist immer noch der 31.10.2018 als Ende des Publicsales. Weder hier noch im englischen Thread gibt es irgendwelche Hinweise auf eine Verlängerung bis 31.12.2018.
Im telegramchannel ist aber genau davon die Rede. Abgesehen dass ich nicht weiss was sie sich von einer Verlängerung versprechen, finde ich diese Art der Information sehr unprofesionell. Nicht das ich grundsätzlich gegen Verlängerungen bin, aber wenn dann sollte es wohl schon länger als 1 Tag vorher angekündigt werden.

Ist dieses ICO nicht irgendwie (gefühlt) von Anfang an unprofessionell abgelaufen? Läuft jetzt ja schon bald ein Jahr...

Und habe dazumal ein ungutes Gefühl gehabt (selbige wie bei SVD) und lass da einfach die Fingern davon.

Ich hatte dieses Gefühl auch, aber ich will nicht immer der Nörgler sein. Ich habs auch ausgelassen nach den Verschiebungen und auch angesichts des Preises.
Eigentlich hatte ich Hendrik Hey als sehr professionell eingeschätzt. Einige Vorfälle in letzter Zeit lassen mich allerdings zweifeln.

Das habe ich mir auch gedacht, aber naja mir persönlich ist es egal, aber schön langsam ist es halt Mühsam ein Deutsches ICO  Roll Eyes Shocked

PS:

ICh kanns mir ned verkneifen, du kannst dein Alter nicht weg nörgeln, das ist einfach da  Tongue

In diesem fall isses aber nichteinmal sein alter... Leider. Wink

Insgesamt gebierdet sich das ganze sehr ...... schleppend und ebenso unprofessionell..

Erst will mensch sich bei cryptoheuschrecken einschleimen, dann wieder sind die alle sch....

Re: Complete chainstate export from 2018-10-15 as torrent.

So, is there any demand for regular exports of this data?

I worked some days on the first one i made at 2018-10-10, the latest one was from 2018-10-15, is there any demand for regular updated files?
I will usually put them just in a torrent because i don't want to set up a website for it or so....
Aynone? Wink

There is demand.
I am one of those, who is interested in downloading that data regularly. But only about once in 3-6 months.


it looks like a nice project, although I find it mostly "helpful" to the dreamers that think they can brute force wallets Smiley

Examining blockchain has other uses too. I used the data in studying "Satoshis mining  pattern" and things like that. Was quite interesting.

I also find it interesting to monitor really old bitcoin addresses for unusual traffic. Eg. Following old zombie coins coming back to life, which sometimes happen.

For those things I have separate files of old addresses that are easy to go through with a script comparing them to the "current" chainstate.
 
For my small needs it would be enough to get a smaller database of only the addresses containing more than 10 BTC (most really old addresses have more than 10BTC in them.)  Filesize of such a smaller database is only about 7Mb

Unfortunately I am currently in a country that has expensive internet and  wont be downloading much until things get better.  (I have to pay 1€/Gb for the net.) Otherwise I would have my own node and get the data myself.

But yes. there is demand, and thanks for the good work  Smiley

Well, i should be able to change my little python thingie to not only write down any address but even add up the exact deposited value...

Should not take up that much space at all. In the end i would be able to get out a simple list of any address holding up any value.

But, there are already walletwatchers out there and just checking the rpc outputs of a full bitcoin node might be way more fast in indicatin that a particular address has changed....

Altough, having already a list of addresses and their values would help a lot to that.....

I check if i can write that in my python fubar... Wink

Strangely the original posting which i found some days back which brought me to this thing is no longer writeable?!?

Mkay happens. Anyways, over there the programmer which wrote the chainstate tool said he had set up a website hosting his very own daily exports behind a paywall (which i can totally understand). URL https://balances.syndevio.com/

So, is there any demand for regular exports of this data?

I worked some days on the first one i made at 2018-10-10, the latest one was from 2018-10-15, is there any demand for regular updated files?

I will help seeding this, I'll start tomorrow with a computer that stays online a lot.

And maybe in some week-end I'll play a bit with it, it looks like a nice project, although I find it mostly "helpful" to the dreamers that think they can brute force wallets Smiley

Yeah, you're welcome. Right now finally my seedhost is catching up on the file (651MB of 2,2GB uploaded), it will take another 2 hours or so until it is fully uploaded.

But then, it will get seeded from a nice vps somehwere in europe with somewhat thick inet connection (100mbit/s uplink iirc, we have still somewhat around 5tb traffic/month free .. so you're welcome anyways! Wink

Hmm, interesting. I've been doing it (very slowly) the naiive way, by querying everything through RPC calls to the Bitcoin Core client. Should be done by next month if I'm lucky.  Cheesy

By the way ... doing it this "slow native way" is not a real problem at all, if you already have most of the data exported using the chainstate tool...

After that, i's just checking for updates and sending them into the database. On a plain CSV it might a bit more complicated, if you want to delete old entries which are no longer holding any coins.

Possible alternatives are, using sqlite - even maybe a in-memory only table if you have enought ram - or like i do a postgresql db..

Although I merrited this topic and OP's commitment deserves more appreciation imo, a more general approach to this problem would be more appropriate.

Thanks for the merit. Smiley

We have UTXO commitment proposals/implementations trending right now with their most important application being pruning and having full nodes with minimum resources and fast bootstrapping, etc. @spartacusrex started a topic in btctalk few days ago for instance and Paul Sztorc's first version of Drivechain released even later (couple of days ago) has already, implemented UTXO snapshotting.

Two most important differences:
1- UTXO snapshots include output scripts as well.
2- A Merkle Tree like  and its root hash is generated and maintained for all UTXOs  such that commitment to the state at a given height is feasible. 

We got advanced algorithms/data structures like MMR and a complete history of interest in UTXOs.

Hhhmm.. interesting... I'm just "for fun" on this topic whilst doing completely unrelated stuff anyways. But i will look in to the links you mentioned. After all, i still have the full node running here anyways and want to play a bit even with the json-rpc and blockchain data format stuff anyways... So maybe i can dig a bit deeper in this chainstate export code to get the output-scripts too.

By the way. On a different run, i just took a list of all my addresses and got any data which is related to it from blockchain.info/com.
There are input and outputs included, but yeah .. calling the blockchain.com api for somewhat more than 1k adresses is not really a nice thing, so i'm already thinking about finding a better way. As i wrote already, getting the data from the bitcoind directly is probably the next thing i try.. Wink

Based on the github page for chainstate, the bulk of the output format would be:   ;
;

Is this correct? If not, please post a small sample of the output.

Yeah, that's probably what i will do as next step. I found 'bitcoin-abe' over on git which should be able to read blkNNNN.dat files natively and put them into a SQL db for use as blockchain explorer like thing. But sadly the code is somewhat old, won't run on python3 and .. yeah, overall, it's old.. Wink ( you can find it here: https://github.com/bitcoin-abe/bitcoin-abe or using 'pip install abe')

My "problem" with bitcoin-abe is, it wants to run directly on the blockchain .dat files, which means, i should shut down my bitcoin knots node as long as abe is running on the files .... or "just copy the whole blockchain over to somewhere else" .. mhmm

I'm not happy doing that anyways, so .. yeah ... connecting the bitcoind and reading anything i want over the RPC thing might be not really fast but more convenient to me. Wink

The sample of the output is in the posting above this one. Wink

Have fun,

So, how do we use the parsed chainstate? Do we use https://github.com/mycroft/chainstate and follow the instruction on "How to Run" section?

Well, i don't know how you want or can use it at all. For me, i just wrote some bits python down to write every address i find in the original csv in to a database table..

Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys, time, psycopg2

# chainstate output
sourcefile = "chainstate.output"

# oeffne chainstate export
filehandle = open(sourcefile, 'r')

# open database connection
dbcon = psycopg2.connect('host=** dbname=** user=** password=**')
dbcur = dbcon.cursor()

counter=1
tablename="btc_address"
fieldname="address"

for line in filehandle:

# read data from csv line
txid, dunno, address, value = line.strip().split(';')

# put it into the db, don't ask, just try and skip if it fails
try:
dbcur.execute("INSERT INTO " + tablename + " (" + fieldname + ") VALUES ('"+str(address)+"')")
dbcon.commit()
print("\033[K %08d written %s\n" % (counter,address), end='', flush=True)
counter += 1
continue
except:
print("\033[K %08d skipped %s\r" % (counter,address), end='', flush=True)
counter += 1
continue

print("\n")


So, whatever you want to do, just have fun. I'm just playing around for educational reasons. Wink

Oh btw, the format of the chainstate.output file is as follows (first 5 lines):
