Yesterday, during David's (very well done) AMA yesterday, he was asked what kind of tools he'd like to see.
Part of his response was wanting tools to better analyze the blockchain:
One example of something we've received a lot of requests for is to show historical data on how much Bitcoin is unspendable due to fees at any given time.
I built Bitcoin Verde with this as one of my goals. Information and analysis is a huge part of making good decisions. So I made a blog post to show how we can answer that question: https://softwareverde.com/blog/analyzing-the-bitcoin-cash-blockchain .
Disclaimer: Properly answering that question will involve creating a UI to interact with the result, and will also require adding some fields that aren't currently indexed within Bitcoin Verde. So as a precursor to that, I talked about how we can estimate this value for an arbitrary point in time (Block #564014), calculate the estimated-average required block fee, and query the last 1,000,000 Transaction Outputs to find how many of those are less than the average Transaction Fee (aka "unspendable").
I'm sure fully answering this question is a lot more nuanced than I get into, and I'm sure there's still a lot of work to do to better grasp the reality of that question, but I think I demonstrated how we can start asking more complicated questions of Bitcoin Cash's usage.
Oh, and the final answer was about 3% of the outputs were less than the average block fee.
