Considering setting up a test run to populate the entire blockchain from some source. This should give sizing and provide an opportunity to run performance and concurrency tests. Any ideas on sourcing this? If we have binary blocks in wire format we can deserialize straight into the store.

There's a tool by rusty that dumps the chain in various formats

Ha, that reads the bitcoind store. Getting the store is the issue, not reading it.

Ah. Gotcha. I thought you just wanted something that already existed to read the store

There was a time early v4 had the getblock api working, which might work, but that time is probably long gone(?)
