Ducatuscore P2P
The peer-to-peer networking protocol for BTC.
ducatuscore-p2p
adds Bitcoin protocol support for Ducatuscore.
Getting Started
npm install @ducatus/ducatuscore-p2p
In order to connect to the Bitcoin network, you'll need to know the IP address of at least one node of the network, or use Pool to discover peers using a DNS seed.
var Peer = require('@ducatus/ducatuscore-p2p').Peer;
var peer = new Peer({host: '127.0.0.1'});
peer.on('ready', function() {
// peer info
console.log(peer.version, peer.subversion, peer.bestHeight);
});
peer.on('disconnect', function() {
console.log('connection closed');
});
peer.connect();
Then, you can get information from other peers by using:
// handle events
peer.on('inv', function(message) {
// message.inventory[]
});
peer.on('tx', function(message) {
// message.transaction
});
Take a look at this guide on the usage of the Peer
class.
