# Monero-p2pool-Output-Stats
The p2pool-output-stats.R script
The `p2pool-output-stats.R` script computes the number of p2pool payout transaction outputs on the Monero blockchain. It allows a user to choose the block height interval to analyze. The script outputs to the console:
- Number of blocks found by p2pool
- Summary statistics on number of payout outputs per block found by p2pool
- Total number of transaction outputs (subject to some rounding errors)
- Number of p2pool payout transaction outputs
In the directory where the script is run, it also creates two csv files:
- `blockchain-stats-begin_height-to-end_height.csv`
- `miner-payouts-begin_height-to-end_height.csv`

4) You must have the `monero-blockchain-stats` utility somewhere on your computer. The easiest way to get this is to [download the Monero CLI Wallet](https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/#cli). The `monero-blockchain-stats` utility is bundled with the CLI Wallet.
5) To run the script, in your terminal input `Rscript <path/to/p2pool-output-stats.R> <initial_block_height> <end_block_height> "<path/to/monero-blockchain-stats>"`. For example, if the path to p2pool-output-stats.R is ~/misc-research/Monero-p2pool-Output-Stats/p2pool-output-stats.R, the initial block height is 2721396, the end block height is 2786779, and the path to monero-blockchain-stats is ~/monero/monero-blockchain-stats, then the input into terminal would be `Rscript ~/misc-research/Monero-p2pool-Output-Stats/p2pool-output-stats.R 2721396 2786779 "~/monero/monero-blockchain-stats"`.
