In order to attempt to join the DHT several times (i.e. when the first attempt has failed) we need to split the components initialization from the real joining operation. Create node.startNetwork() to initialize the node and keep the rest in node.joinNetwork() Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@mandelbit.com> |

LBRY
LBRY is an open-source protocol providing distribution, discovery, and purchase of digital content (data) via a decentralized network.
This repo is a reference implementation of the LBRY API.
It provides a daemon that can interact with the network via a json-rpc interface over HTTP.
Installing
Note: This project no longer bundles a graphic interface (browser). If you want to use LBRY via a GUI, use the LBRY App.
Our releases page contains pre-built binaries of the latest release, pre-releases, and past releases, for macOS, Debian-based Linux, and Windows.
Installing from source is also relatively painless, full instructions are in INSTALL.md
Running
Run lbrynet-daemon to launch the daemon.
Using
By default, lbrynet-daemon will provide a JSON-RPC server at http://localhost:5279. It is easy to interact with via cURL or sane programming languages.
Our quickstart guide provides a simple walkthrough and examples for learning.
The full API is documented here.
What is LBRY?
LBRY is a protocol that provides a fully decentralized network for the discovery, distribution, and payment of data.
It utilizes the LBRY blockchain as a global namespace and database of digital content. Blockchain entries contain searchable content metadata, identities, and rights and access rules.
LBRY also provides a data network consists of peers uploading and downloading data from other peers, possibly in exchange for payments, and a distributed hash table, used by peers to discover other peers.
