Simple SPV Client

A simple SPV client that aims for easy integration primarily with LBRY Hub servers.

To see what methods that the SPV will answer on, check this website. This client doesn't try to decode the data recieved, rather it gives you the raw JSONRPC that the SPV replied with.

The claimtrie methods specific to LBRY will return a Base64 encoded protobuf as the result. You'll need to decode the result according to the LBRY types.
