Merged mining fork analysis
JSON lists of Bitcoin blocks tagged with merge-mined child chains, difficulty epochs, stale blocks recovered from Namecoin merged-mining data, and stale block snapshots from fork monitors and explorers. Compiled by Stifter et al. for the paper Echoes of the Past from coin clients, the KIT and Decker-Wattenhofer monitors and explorer APIs, with a Litecoin counterpart. Useful for comparing live fork monitoring with merged-mining stale block recovery; the release is partial and large files are tarballs.
