I'm blocked from bitaps.com about plutus

[jamesyoungdigital]

That's not a bad idea, you can get a fair amount of balance queries with blockchain.info, I've hammered away on that one before. I added a simple query to a bitcoin tool that uses their https://blockchain.info/rawaddr/'+a API. You can put in a hash160 or 1Btc... address I think. A drop in like this works for me using Python 3:

def get_balance(address):

    if blocked:
        try:
            response = requests.get("https://blockchain.info/rawaddr/{}".format(address))
            balance = response.json()['final_balance']
            return int(balance)
        except:
            return -1

    try:
        response = requests.get("https://bitaps.com/api/address/" + str(address))
        return int(response.json()['balance']) 
    except:
        return -1

Another idea is to try and parse the chainstate every now and then; the chainstate in the bitcoin full node directory only has addresses with balances, I checked that with my brainwallet address and it worked out. I saw my balance and freaked out. Haha.

Does this really use all CPU power? For instance, on a machine with 128 CPUs and 8 threads per CPU?

Confirmed, my IP was blocked. I changed the IP and all is good, but we need to understand why the ip was blocked in the first place.

[MisterTeo]

Me too. I have static ip, and I'm blocked.

According to my assumptions on bitaps.com protection against DDoS attacks is triggered. On my processor (8700k), I get a response from bitaps.com that reports too many requests per second.

Sounds like we need to put a rate-limit on it, as it seems if an IP Is blocked it's blocked forever.

[sky305]

or possibly alternate the API for bitaps.com and blockain.info.

Hi James, Can you commit that code ? Thanks!

Sure! I'm just having a rest at pop's farm, so I might be a couple of hours. Thanks! :)

Left a pull request in case anyone wants to test the code with 3 balance functions, in case we get blocked from calling the API.

There hasn't been significant testing yet, so please try it out and let me know what happens if you want to try the Plutus in my github repo.

[jamesyoungdigital]

Please don't merge pull request. I need to get my head around the globals with multithreading on CPUs. It's not working the way it's supposed to.

Will try to figure it out. Thanks...

No worries, whenever you get a chance. Thanks! On Sat, Nov 24, 2018 at 9:56 PM James Young <[email protected]> wrote:

I'll change it tomorrow when I'm around. I will delete my repo and start fresh and replace it and verify it works. Might have to clone my repo with changes if no pull request is merged.

I'm bringing an update within the next week. So just wait a few more days
