bitcoin-blk-file-reader

Reads the blkXXXXX.dat files from bitcoind (Bitcoin-Core) The implementation is in python and includes the witness format for the extended transaction format and includes correct transaction hash calculation, which was initially forgotten to add here.

Usage

Normally your bitcoind client stores the blk files in $HOME/.bitcoin/blocks/

To read the first blk-file, which is blk00000.dat:

python analyze.py $HOME/.bitcoin/blocks/blk00000.dat

After that you get the output to the console. This script is very easy to understand and you can use it on your own.

NOTICE: Some addresses are not calculated yet, they are multisig addresses, I did not have time to add the code, but I will. Further the code is not very nice, since this was my first try doing this long ago. But feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
