I'm trying to use the Blocktrail API to look at the oldest Bitcoin addresses to create a info graph piece - besides looking at historical transactions, what else would be good for me to analyze?

\\ to be specific, what could I use analytics for with Bitcoin - besides looking at addresses

Mining Bitcoins at the time should have been pretty easy with a CPU, even with a laptop. You could possibly add some stats on amount of Bitcoins generated per day and the historical network difficulty.

I'm particularly curious about analytics for addresses that include taint-of-taint data, specifically I'm wondering if its possible to extract useful information from an address that's interacted with coins 2 hops away from say, a betting site. I think this could have many implications for researchers looking to do some other kind of node/graph analysis as well.
