# bademeister-go
Bademeister implementation in Golang.
## What is bademeister?
Bademeister records the mempool history of a Bitcoin Core node and provides access to the data over an API.
It stores the time when a transaction was first received by a bitcoin node, including
transactions that do not end up in the blockchain (double-spends).
### Motivation
While the bitcoin blockchain contains all transactions that get eventually confirmed,
the confirmation time (time between a transaction first appearing on the
network and being included into a block by a miner) is not recorded on-chain.
Having a record of confirmation time allows research and benchmark of fee estimation
algorithms and other applications.
### Design Goals
* Easy to run: requirement is a patched version of `bitcoind`
* Easy to interface with
* REST API, Golang API
* Support simple query types like
* `getFirstSeen(txid, nodeId): Date`
* `getMempool(Date, nodeId): Transaction[]`
* Easy to combine multiple sources of data to have a robust data collection network
## Development
### Git Hooks
Please set up git hooks to run `go fmt` and other linters:
```bash
git config core.hooksPath .git_hooks
```
