# Satonomics - Parser

## Description

The backbone of the project, it does most of the work by parsing and then computing datasets from the timechain

## Requirements

- `rustup`

## Run

```bash
# Update the 'node.args' file with the path to your bitcoin folder and optional bitcoind arguments
# Examples:
# "$HOME/.bitcoin"
# "$HOME/.bitcoin" -rpcconnect=1.2.3.4
./run.sh
```

## Limitations

- Needs to stop the node to parse the files (at least for now)
- Needs a **LOT** a disk space for databases (~700 GB for data from 2009 to mid 2024)

## Guidelines

- Avoid floats as much as possible
  - Use structs like `WAmount` and `Price` for calculations
  - **Only** use `WAmount.to_btc()` when inserting or computing inside a dataset. It is **very** expensive.
- No `Arc`, `Rc`, `Mutex` even from third party libraries, they're slower
