9/14/2015 Day 2 - Block chain Scanner

Today we talked mostly about a way to read the block chain. We considered using a Parser in python to create transaction class and store in a hash table. Given the size of the bitcoin block chain ~44GB, we had to consider which software to use for code sharing. A lot of ideas were thrown around i.e, drop box, git hub, Hadoop, google drive and so on. We tossed around the idea of having a fancy paper title, something like in "Using Monte Carlo simulation in sampling the block chain"
