Antonio Quartulli d827b4d5af platform ip: ensure daemon retrieves IPv4 address only
When contacting jsonip.com to retrieve the node external IP,
the connection might be established with IPv6 and thus return
an address belonging to that family.

This address is then used to initialize the external_ip member of
Daemon session, but unfortunately IPv6 is not yet handled well.

Using an IPv6 as external IP is currently breaking parts of the
Daemon resulting in no peer connectivity at all.

We should stick to IPv4 for time being.

http://jsonip.com/about says "ipv4-only":"https://ipv4.jsonip.com"

therefore, change the IP retrieval URL to ipv4.jsonip.com to
make sure the connection is established only using an IPv4 address.

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.
