• Abstract: Bitcoin, launched in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto, established a new digital economy where value can be stored and transferred in a fully decentralized manner - alleviating the need for a central authority. This paper introduces a large scale dataset in the form of a transactions graph representing transactions between Bitcoin users along with a set of tasks and baselines. The graph includes 252 million nodes and 785 million edges, covering a time span of nearly 13 years of and 670 million transactions. Each node and edge is timestamped. As for supervised tasks we provide two labeled sets i. a 33,000 nodes based on entity type and ii. nearly 100,000 Bitcoin addresses labeled with an entity name and an entity type. This is the largest publicly available data set of bitcoin transactions designed to facilitate advanced research and exploration in this domain, overcoming the limitations of existing datasets. Various graph neural network models are trained to predict node labels, establishing a baseline for future research. In addition, several use cases are presented to demonstrate the dataset's applicability beyond Bitcoin analysis. Finally, all data and source code is made publicly available to enable reproducibility of the results.

  Unsupervised Graph Domain Adaptation (UGDA) shows its practical value of reducing the labeling cost for node classification. Most existing UGDA methods heavily rely on the labeled graph in the source domain. In some real-world scenarios, the source graph is inaccessible because of privacy issues. We propose a novel scenario named Source Free Unsupervised Graph Domain Adaptation (SFUGDA)

• Bitcoin Transaction Forecasting with Deep Network Representation Learning [16.715475608359046]
  This paper presents a novel approach to developing a Bitcoin transaction forecast model, DLForecast, by leveraging deep neural networks for learning Bitcoin transaction network representations. We construct a time-decaying reachability graph and a time-decaying transaction pattern graph, aiming at capturing different types of spatial-temporal Bitcoin transaction patterns. We show that our spatial-temporal forecasting model is efficient with fast runtime and effective with forecasting accuracy over 60% and improves the prediction performance by 50% when compared to forecasting model built on the static graph baseline.
