LBRY is an open-source protocol providing distribution, discovery, and purchase of digital content (data) via a decentralized network. It utilizes the [LBRY blockchain](https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd) 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 that 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.
This project aims to provide a daemon that can interact with the network via a json-rpc interface over HTTP.
The project is written in python2.7 and extensively uses Twisted framework.

## Usage
2016-05-23 22:13:46 +02:00
2017-03-13 17:05:13 +01:00
Run `lbrynet-daemon` to launch the daemon.
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.
