Ducatuscore P2P Cash

The peer-to-peer networking protocol for BCH.

ducatuscore-p2p-cash adds Bitcoin Cash protocol support for Ducatuscore.

See the main ducatuscore repo

Getting Started

npm install @ducatus/ducatuscore-p2p-cash

In order to connect to the Bitcoin Cash 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-cash').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.
