Nice work guys, but is there any way i can list the transactions for a wallet? thanks

@rubenaraujo You can list all sawtooth transactions using the command sawtooth transaction list

@askmish please correct me if i'm wrong, but i belive that with that command i'll get all transactions on sawtooth not just all the transactions from and to that specific wallet. :X

That's a part I miss too in blockchain technology.. It seems that it's very nice at writing, but we never talk about reading the blockchain :( some example (like the supply chain one) use another DB (RethinkDB).. but then, why would we use a blockchain ! I know it's hard to query, because you have to replay everthing, but then, what's the benefit of doing only write and forget, never validate :)

Thanks !

I thought about that and i have the same opinion though i'll just continue to search for a good way to do it. Anyway, great work. Thanks

@rubenaraujo @paparent All blockchains mimic the traditional pen and paper ledger. The information is sorted in a specific sequence and can only be read in the same sequence it was written. A blockchain is not a replacement of database or designs/functionalities based on a database. For search/sort functionalities you'll need to use a 3rd party app(like rethinkdb).
