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

# Update ./run.sh with the path to your bitcoin folder
./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.
