Bitcoin core chainstate parser

It is based on bitcoin core 0.15.1 client.

The bitcoin core's chainstate stores all blockchain's UTXOs. By parsing it, you can know where bitcoins are, how much are stored on each wallets, etc.

This parser handles all types of bitcoins addresses, like P2PKH (starting by 1), P2SH (starting by 1 or 3) and newer P2WPKH (bech32).

Some code was ripped of the Bitcoin core client, by the way. So, this software is under MIT licence.

Deps

You need to get google's leveldb with C++ headers installed, or it won't compile/link.

Build

$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ make
[...]
g++ -o chainstate chainstate.o hex.o varint.o pubkey.o -Lsecp256k1/.libs -lsecp256k1 -lcrypto -lleveldb -Llibbase58/.libs -lbase58 -Lbech32/ref/c -lbech32
$

If it doesn't build, you may have additional deps configured in a submodule. You will want to add those deps into the Makefile as well. Or you can also contribute by doing a proper Makefile ;)

How to run

You should stop bitcoin's client or daemon before copying the chainstate:

$ cp -Rp ~/.bitcoin/chainstate state
$ time ./chainstate >/tmp/cs.output 2>/tmp/cs.errors
real    8m36.144s
user    7m32.441s
sys     1m3.704s

$ head /tmp/cs.output
