sumcore-p2p v1.1.2

Sumcore P2P

sumcore-p2p adds Sumcoin protocol support for Sumcore.

See the main sumcore repo for more information.

Getting Started

npm install sumcore-p2p

In order to connect to the Sumcoin 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('sumcore-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 the sumcore guide on the usage of the Peer class.
