Clarification: the proposed ONLINE (OBELISK) commands in my patch are

ONLINE (OBELISK)
   BLOCKCHAIN QUERIES
        balance                    Show balance of a Bitcoin address
in satoshis.
        fetch-block-header         Fetch raw block header.
        fetch-last-height          Fetch the last block height.
        fetch-stealth              Fetch a stealth information using a
network connection to
                              make requests against the obelisk load
balancer backend.
        fetch-transaction          Fetch a raw transaction using a
network connection to
                              make requests against the obelisk load
balancer backend.
        fetch-transaction-index    Fetch block height and index in
block of transaction.
        get-utxo                   Get enough unspent transaction

and their spends for an
                              address. grep can filter for just
