I see that Abe is still under development, when can we expect 0.7?

At the moment the holdup is writing a change log. Then I'll try to find all the pieces I need to build the Windows installer and update pypi. Anything particular you need?

As a matter of fact there are a few things. Currently ABE doesn't gracefully handle Ctr+C and so I have to execute the queries you gave a couple of pages back AND reset the blkoffset number to either 0 or a value which I've stored for emergencies.
And though it happened a long time ago, I had a very nasty problem where the bitcoin days destroyed value was 0 every few transactions/blocks and since I could not arbitrarily delete any blocks manually I was forced to reimport the blockchain all over again and this usually takes 2 weeks for me.

And not sure if there was a workaround, but while Abe is importing blocks, the webserver is off and there is no way for me to view the chain imported thus far.

I have a query that will give you import status. PM me if you want it.

I would be glad to have the following features:

Support for multisig addresses:
===================
http://abe.bitcoinstats.org:2750/address/3JEFRC6tuXRjxG6YUDtYzEmYEphf5pb86C
https://blockchain.info/address/3JEFRC6tuXRjxG6YUDtYzEmYEphf5pb86C

Support for unspent:
============
http://blockchain.info/unspent?address=3JEFRC6tuXRjxG6YUDtYzEmYEphf5pb86C
(something in the direction on listunspent in https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list)

A tool to convert address to pubkey
=====================
http://blockchain.info/q/pubkeyaddr/12oESJ63gKmf7EtqEdrV7Xnid8dmYTBKE3

and as a bonus, it could be nice to have something like:
http://blockchain.info/multiaddr?active=3871TUSvEuHqHZZnswWtQSs31vK6LWnwcG|383TnXCdXnCkhQy4fwm6ZN2sf7XpZ4YJmp|3JEFRC6tuXRjxG6YUDtYzEmYEphf5pb86C

Since blockchain.info does not support testnet, there is currently no way to get the above data for testnet.

greetings,
Grazcoin

I had to rebuild my server with ubuntu 12.04 64bit after the switch im not able to run abe anymore. I suspect that the change from python 2.6 to 2.7 aswell as the change from mysql 5.1 to 5.5 has something to do with it, since i use the same abe.conf as before and it was running on ubuntu 10.04 32bit.
I allways end up with this error:

Code:

Python 2.7.3
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.24, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.2

i guess thats realy a python problem since i tried it with dbtype = sqlite3 and got the same result

I have upgrade my server to 64bit. I have abe running at http://abe.bitcoinstats.org:2750 for anyone who wants to demo it. I'll list it in the wiki.

Regarding your two small code examples posted above, I wrote an MySQL query to get the confirmations for each block. I only wanted to crosscheck with you if I understood everything right and didnt make a misstake here:

Code:

SELECT (
    (SELECT b.block_height AS maxheight
    FROM block b
    JOIN chain c ON c.chain_last_block_id = b.block_id
    WHERE c.chain_id = 1) - chain_candidate.block_height
) AS cofirmations, chain_candidate.block_id
FROM chain_candidate
WHERE chain_candidate.chain_id = 1
    AND chain_candidate.in_longest = 1

I think this is correct.

By the way, I don't know if anyone has ever loaded the whole thing in SQLite. I'll be surprised if it works and more surprised if it takes under a month. I recommend MySQL or better for the BTC chain. And regardless of database, an initial run with --no-serve --commit-bytes=100000 will probably speed it up.

I ran for ... about 5 days trying to populate sqlite on my i5 laptop.

It got to block 187400ish so far and is more than 5GB.

To anyone else who is considering using sqlite, it's not a good solution compared to mysql or postgres. It's possible, but not good.

Took me about 7.5 days, then electrum server complained about not being 64bit, I haven't ad time to look into it past there.

I have a pretty weak machine (512MB VPS) that takes several days to load BTC into Abe using PostgreSQL.

Initial loading tips would be welcomed... I am going on 6 days and still have 2658 blocks left to go.

Any chance to update PYPI, please?

A release? It's sure overripe for one. Noted.
