BitIodine – Get more from the blockchain

Great Idea. Unfortunately, the server seems to be unable to handle the load.

This is some great work! As part of a school assignment a few years ago, we just barely scratched the surface of block chain analysis [1]. We stopped at loading the block chain into Neo4j, scraping public internet forums for donation accounts, and making simple visualizations. It&#x27;s cool to see the idea taken so far.<p>[1] <a href="https://plus.google.com/109389788036578433900/posts/hvhwFcp3Hdd" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;plus.google.com&#x2F;109389788036578433900&#x2F;posts&#x2F;hvhwFcp3...</a>

Apparently chemistry names are the new hot trend for startups. This is the third on HN within the last week. It&#x27;s a pretty good idea though because the names sound like what they do; naptha makes sense as the name for an image extractor since naphtha is used for doing quick and dirty extractions while making drugs, iodine makes sense here because it&#x27;s used to bring out more detail in samples when doing microscopy, etc.

I believe the word that OP was looking for in his title was &quot;block chain&quot;. Not &quot;blockchain&quot;.<p>Blockchain is the company name of one of your competitors.<p>One of the speakers at the Toronto Bitcoin Expo corrected his own slide during his own company&#x27;s presentation concerning this matter. It was quite comical.

Thank you extrapolate and ajaimk! Yes, the backend is suffering a bit - but it will be back in a few minutes.<p>This is just a very limited demo of what BitIodine can do! For more info click on &quot;About&quot; or wait till new features (&quot;Get insights&quot;) make it to the web interface.

Do you store the block chain in a SQL database as well as neo4j? If so, what SQL database are you using? I&#x27;ve written a tool that stores the block chain in PostgreSQL but INSERTs are getting a bit slow due to indexes. Maybe we could share notes...

Very interesting work. I might suggest you remove the `target=&quot;_blank&quot;` from the links — if people want new tabs they can do so quite easily.

Neat tool. I think it could definitely be enhanced with some visuals though, maybe on the cluster page you could graph related addresses or something.

Very cool. Are you able to compute the shortest paths on fly?

The terms on your website don&#x27;t really mesh with the actual behavior of the blockchain. There is no &quot;from&quot; address, there is never a &quot;from&quot; address.
