A tool to watch for BIP 101 blocks on the Bitcoin testnet

It's mostly untested and isn't my best code, so run it on your own risk :)

Requirements

• Bitcoin XT full node
• PHP 5.6+ with Curl
• PostgreSQL
• Any webserver in case you want to show the data

How do I install and run it?

1. Set up a Bitcoin XT testnet full node, set rpcuser, rpcpassword, rpcport, testnet=1 and server=1 in bitcoin.conf
2. Connect to as many XT nodes as possible. See https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoinxt/comments/3s08sl/bip101_on_testnet_is_coming_want_to_help/
3. You need to set up a PostgreSQL database, then run a script from sql.sql
4. Update config.php with your settings, "daemon" configuration (login, password and port) should correspond to the values from bitcoin.conf (rpcuser, rpcpassword, rpcport)
5. Set up a cron service to run /usr/bin/php bootstrap.php every 5-10 minutes. Each run will clean and refill the database). That can be done by pasting */5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/bootstrap.php into crontab -e
6. You can see the results in index.php (make web a public folder)

If you want to analyze more than 1,000 blocks, you might want to change BLOCKS_TO_PROCESS constant in config.php
