How many words is that?

6 years at 600k is a stretch. 400k is very doable though. I think you're looking at closer to 10+ years to hit the higher end of 600k (at big tech)

This sounds like one of those tools that was built internally that could spin out to be it's own project/startup. It's such a clever and easy way to solve their problems.

Yeah. I would log it. It doesn't auto sweep the wallet or anything.

There's a blog post on the same site that talks about using https://github.com/in3rsha/bitcoin-utxo-dump. I'm running a pruned node, I use that lib to dump the address and balance to a csv and then I pull out the top 100 or so.

Something is off with the output of parsing the utxos. I'll have to dig deeper into it later!

That's such a big number. I still fail at grasping really large numbers like that.

I just haven't updated it lately. Thanks for the reminder. I'll run the scripts now.

That's a neat idea! It's currently all client side but I could add a simple endpoint to store/read the counts.

OP Here. I submitted this 6 months ago as a Show HN and thought I would try my luck again after adding a blog post last night about doing the same thing on AWS.

Things have started stabilizing. React is a clear winner in the framework wars (but there are some promising new upstarts). I'd build a small app in React and go from there. Next.js is extremely easy to get started with out of the box.

Webpack is still a nightmare but things like snowpack et al try to remove some of that complexity.
