Spawn blocks as nodes

[LivInTheLookingGlass]

Block node would replace all corresponding TXIDs.

Block node would last twice as long (a = Date.now() - maxage)

Block would extend life of associated inputs (maybe)

Block node would be large, and a neutral color.

Transaction index can be received via websocket. Send message:

{"op":"ping_block"}

Hash can then be gathered from the json text at:

https://blockchain.info/tx-index/$tx_index?format=json

Just sent a request to blockchain.info to add TXIDs to their block API. Don't think they'll listen, but hopefully my @intel.com email address will convince them.

Escalated to development team :)

Possible by adding transaction index to the transaction nodes. Much less efficient than if it were included in the block nodes, but still good nonetheless
