Unlocking the blockchain

After a quick search I found a neat blockchain reader today. here tiz :-) . Thanks to John Ratcliffe for writing this. He says its small but it looks like a good chunk of work. Now I just need to dust off my C++ and get stuck in (must be 8 years since I wrote C++).
I just installed Eclipse CDT on my Ubuntu box, got it to work, then downloaded Subversion, and checked out the source tree from Google Code and I'm now able to build the source. I have some blockchain analysis I want to do... Actually another link from John's site is a good looking paper on some previous analysis here.
Also thanks to John for some links to explain the transaction malleability issue in bitcoin transaction malleability explained. Seems like its just a crude random corruption of the chain that gets corrected but SHOULDN'T cause any loss of coins. Have a read.
