TODO

  • getheaders.
  • hardening.
  • sanity check hashes of known blocks
  • script for downloading bootstrap.dat & matching utxo.bin.
  • match compiler
  • investigate using our own copy of ripemd160 (using the one in 'hashlib' is a back-door openssl dep.)
  • disk i/o thread for access to blocks.bin.

ledger

caesure uses a persistent data structure (a functional AA tree) to implement a 'many worlds' approach to the UTXO database. Within an area at the front of the chain, each block/fork has its own version of the ledger, each with a separate history. Each fork updates independently. When a dead fork has fallen far enough behind, its ledger data is abandoned.

A faster, stl-based data structure is used for the initial scan. The plan is to distribute paired 'blocks.dat' and 'utxo.bin' files via bittorrent.

memory requirements: Oct 2014, ~3GB.

in progress

  • ledger: final task remains - connecting the many-worlds ledger to txn flow.
  • test suites.

done

  • getdata/blocks: before txns, let's forward blocks.
  • proper package installation and directory for blocks.bin etc...
  • use html_help module.
  • getblocks.
  • p2sh.
  • SIGHASH_NONE, etc..
