BitData - Analysis

Some examples tools and script to analyze bitcoin data.

Coinbase String Monitor

This script analyze the coinbase of the last 10 blocks of the testnet, if it found the target string on the coinbase transaction will send a message in a telegram channel. Will continue to analyze new blocks every 30 seconds.

• Change BOT_TOKEN and CHAT_ID in the .env file to enable the telegram bot
• The bot should be added to the channel as an administrator. The CHAT_ID is the chat of the bot with the channel.
• Change DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL in the .env file to enable the discord bot
• The bot should be created as explained here and added with the right priviledges in the server. At this point the webhook url can be exctracted from the sub-channel that you want the bot will notify into.

    poetry run python -m bitdata.analysis.coinbase -n testnet -t "Stratum v2" -p 10

Mining pool distribution

    poetry run python -m bitdata.analysis.mining

Transactions per block

    poetry run python -m bitdata.analysis.addresses

Taproot transaction count

    poetry run python -m bitdata.analysis.taproot
