# bitcoin-crawler
This is a tool for studying the block propagation patterns of blocks on the Bitcoin network.
This was built for my masters thesis, which has a [website here](https://bitcoin.aapelivuorinen.com/). For an overview on this tool, read [Chapter 3](https://bitcoin.aapelivuorinen.com/thesis.pdf#chapter.3).
## Installation
You'll need Python 3, and `virtualenv`. Then do:
```sh
virtualenv . -p python3
source bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python client.py
```
If you don't have IPv6, change the line with `ENABLE_IPV6 = True` to `ENABLE_IPV6 = False`.
## Help
If you're having trouble with using this, I'd like to help you out. Either open an issue on GitHub, or email me at the email address on my website!
