auroracoin-p2p adds Bitcoin protocol support for Auroracoin-js.
See the main bitcore repo for more information.
npm install auroracoin-p2pIn 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('auroracoin-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 bitcore guide on the usage of the Peer class.
See CONTRIBUTING.md on the main auroracoin-js repo for information about how to contribute.
