X-Headers-End: 1St1eM-00009u-Lj Subject: [Bitcoin-development] [ANN] pynode: Simple bitcoin P2P node X-BeenThere: bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.9 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 22 Jul 2012 19:17:07 -0000 Github URL: https://github.com/jgarzik/pynode pynode is a simple bitcoin P2P client, based on ArtForz' half-a-node, which maintains a blockchain database and TX memory pool. It is intended to be a useful base for another projects, such as network monitoring nodes. At present, it is mainly for developers and not end users. Here is what pynode does NOT do: * RPC * key management (wallet) * script verification * chain re-org Here are the limited things that pynode can do at present: * Outgoing TCP connection to a single remote P2P node * Initial blockchain download * Maintain a transaction memory pool, with TX's removed as they are confirmed in blocks * Maintain an indexed blockchain database Over time it will become more capable, but this is an alpha quality release for developers at present. Contributions welcome! It is intended to become a full, wallet-less node over time (though if somebody wanted to contribute a wallet module, that is OK too) -- Jeff Garzik exMULTI, Inc. jgarzik@exmulti.com
