I'm not asking what the richest bitcoin address is. That information is easy to find. I'm asking what address has the most amount of UTXOS/inputs available for it to use (whether said inputs are just a few hundred satoshis, doesn't matter). This is just for fun but i'm curious and would like to know this (and also how this information would be found in the first place)

I did not find anyone who did this already so did it myself, but used to signet to have a much smaller data set (signet utxos are 41M, mainnet utxos are 4.6G now)

I used https://github.com/in3rsha/bitcoin-utxo-dump to get the utxos from the ldb to csv format and used some javascript to count the amount of utxos per address

results (addresses are in mainnet format so have to converted first):

top 10 most UTXOs by address on signet

to convert a bech32 address from mainnet to signet (testnet) from:

 > bitcoin.address.toBech32(bitcoin.address.fromBech32(v).data, 0, 'tb')
'tb1qfwsnqles0ptp6rmwm4nun4q48yd64uedu2zxeh'

you can see on a block explorer that this address has 26928 transactions and 0.00000000 sBTC sent (so all TXOs here are UTXOs) https://mempool.space/signet/address/tb1qfwsnqles0ptp6rmwm4nun4q48yd64uedu2zxeh

  • I'm confused by this answer. You demonstrate that you have all the tools to answer the actual question, but then you instead provide the answer for a different network. – Murch Jun 29 '22 at 16:44
  • its an example, everything would take way longer on the mainnet, so i used the way lighter signet as an example – Antoni Jun 29 '22 at 19:06
