daemon and query scripts to create, update, query the firstbits for a bitcoin address
- Reads data from a bitcoind instance and inserts it into a mysql db
- currently requires a lot of memory!
- python dependencies:
- python2.7
- mysql.connector
- time, requests, json, datetime
To run:
$ ./fbd path/to/fbd.conf
fbd.conf should be a plain-text file with key-value pairs for the following keys:
mysqluser=MYSQLUSER
mysqlpassword=MYSQLPASSWORD
mysqlhost=MYSQLHOST
rpcuser=BITCOINDRPCUSER
rpcpassword=BITCOINDRPCPASS
rpcport=8332
Note that your bitcoind instance needs to be running with -txindex=1.
To query the database, use the fbq program, provide a location for a config file, then request a firstbits to addrss with -f, or address to firstbits with -a.
$./fbq --config /path/to/fbd.conf -f 1SgtS

$./fbq --config /path/to/fbd.conf -a 1sGtsSJBktENuS4Hu2HccA91uuhERC6RX
