An alternative full node implementation of LBRY's blockchain written in Go (golang)

Use it to add multiple peer support. We try and keep 8 outbound peers active at all times. This address manager is not as complete as the one in bitcoind yet, but additional functionality is being worked on. We currently handle (in a similar manner to bitcoind): - biasing between new and already tried addresses based on number of connected peers. - rejection of non-default ports until desparate - address selection probabilities based on last successful connection and number of failures. - routability checks based on known unroutable subnets. - only connecting to each network `group' once at any one time. We currently lack support for: - tor ``addresses'' (an .onion address encoded in 64 bytes of ip address) - full state save and restore (we just save a json with the list of known addresses in it) - multiple buckets for new and tried addresses selected by a hash of address and source. The current algorithm functions the same as bitcoind would with only one bucket for new and tried (making the address cache rather smaller than it otherwise would be). |

btcd
btcd is an alternative full node bitcoin implementation written in Go (golang).
This project is currently under active development and is not production ready yet.
TODO
The following is a list of major items remaining before production release:
- Implement multi-peer support
- Implement transaction mempool & relay
- Complete address manager
- Documentation
- A lot of code cleanup
- Optimize
