bitcoin — Bitcoin transactions (2009-2013)

Description

A network of payment transactions between Bitcoin addresses, spanning January 2009 to April 2013. The data were derived from the public Bitcoin blockchain in the Bitcoin Transaction Network Dataset published in 2013 by I. Brugere, and comprise over 37 million transactions between public-key "addresses". They were aggregated into a network by M. Fire and C. Guestrin for their study of the evolution of network stars. Nodes are addresses (identified only by numeric identifiers), and a directed edge points from one address to another if at least one payment was made from the first to the second; multiple transactions between the same pair of addresses are aggregated into a single edge.

The network has the following properties:

(Node) id: the numeric identifier of the address in the source data.
(Node) first_transaction: the date and time of the first transaction of the address (format YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS).
(Edge) count: the number of transactions between the two addresses.
(Edge) min_date and max_date: the date and time of the first and last of these transactions (format YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS).
