Check the increase / decrease of Bitcoin for each address from the blockchain

This article uses Mac OS Sierra 10.12.4. This is the third article related to bitcoin.

Check the increase / decrease of Bitcoin from the transaction

Last time got a block of Bitcoin from python and went to the point of looking inside. Bitcoin data is a stack of blocks, in which transactions are recorded. Since the transaction records which address the Bitcoin moved from, it is theoretically possible to calculate the balance of the address from the accumulation of them.

Take a look at the contents of the block

First, let's take a look at the contents of the block

Create connection

from bitcoinrpc.authproxy import AuthServiceProxy, JSONRPCException
rpc_user="bitcoinrpc"
rpc_password="passwordxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
rpc_connection = AuthServiceProxy("http://%s:%[email protected]:8332"%(rpc_user, rpc_password))

Get a block with a block height of 110,000

blhash = rpc_connection.getblockhash(110000) #blhash is a block hash string
rpc_connection.getblock(blhash) #Get block information

result

Although it is written in various ways, it is a transaction in which tx is written in a block. There are 12 stored in this block.

Take a look at the contents of the transaction

Let's take a look at the transaction in the block above. Use getrawtransaction to check the contents of the transaction.

Get the contents of a transaction

rpc_connection.getrawtransaction("76dc5788be4a8cf6925aff15fd8c8fbf6417b4ad6c30a1ac12cd117e95c5820b")

You don't know what this is, I will call decoderawtransaction to decode it.

Transaction decoding

rpc_connection.decoderawtransaction(rpc_connection.getrawtransaction(txid))

It has become a form that you can understand somehow. There are various items, but we will focus only on vin and vout. The vout has the destination address and amount written on it. Focusing on the value, it says 0.05 and 196.65. 0.05 Bitcoin at the address "1NX3wzGPxFaMJotm2KcDjrqAYGwu3N7rXb" You sent a total of 196.70 bitcoins to 196.65 bitcoins at the address "1KWsPyZ9BYFq9izzRcQXeGffLunCAKx32d".

vin has another txid (transaction ID) and "vout" number written on it. This indicates the number of the destination address and amount written in the vout of this transaction ID. It's a bit confusing, which means you have to go to another txid written in vin to get the destination and the amount of the transfer. The code looks like this.

vin transaction acquisition

txid = "76dc5788be4a8cf6925aff15fd8c8fbf6417b4ad6c30a1ac12cd117e95c5820b"
in_txid = rpc_connection.decoderawtransaction(rpc_connection.getrawtransaction(txid)).get("vin")[0].get("txid")
in_no = rpc_connection.decoderawtransaction(rpc_connection.getrawtransaction(txid)).get("vin")[0].get("vout")
rpc_connection.decoderawtransaction(rpc_connection.getrawtransaction(in_txid)).get("vout")[in_no]

result

{'n': 1,
 'scriptPubKey': {'addresses': ['1LfAi3G7xYmZKjr823RHWTANnCYdZvmDhK'],
  'asm': 'OP_DUP OP_HASH160 d7a24cc6e59ca8a1e553bc5c42c5f6e4c1277bbf OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG',

  'reqSigs': 1,
  'type': 'pubkeyhash'},
 'value': Decimal('196.70000000')}

You can see that vin is sending 196.70 Bitcoins. This is the same as the sum of vouts. In other words, this is from the address "1LfAi3G7xYmZKjr823RHWTANnCYdZvmDhK" 0.05 Bitcoin for "1NX3wzGPxFaMJotm2KcDjrqAYGwu3N7rXb" This is a transaction in which 196.65 bit coins were sent to "1KWsPyZ9BYFq9izzRcQXeGffLunCAKx32d".

It looks like this in the figure.

Get Bitcoin increase / decrease for each address

At this point, you have successfully captured the transaction. If you follow this from the past history, you can check the increase / decrease of Bitcoin in the address.

It's out. Since this time we targeted the early blocks, it is a record when Satoshi Nakamoto was mining. Coinbase is a mined record, formally just created. Subtraction is a remittance record and addition is a receipt record. This block is only mining, so you just received 50 bitcoins from coinbase.

In this way, it was confirmed that the blockchain is ready for anyone to check the transaction record as a third-party ledger.
