tuxcore-p2p
adds Litecoin protocol support for tuxcore.
See the main tuxcore repo for more information.
npm install tuxcore-p2p
In order to connect to the Litecoin 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('tuxcore-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 tuxcore guide on the usage of the Peer
class.
