Bitcore P2P for Reddcoin

The peer-to-peer networking protocol for RDD.

bitcore-p2p-redd adds Reddcoin protocol support for Bitcore. The wire format is Bitcoin-derived, with reddcoin's network magic (0xfbc0b6db), default protocol version 80016, the /Reddcore:VERSION/ user-agent, and BIP155 sendaddrv2 advertisement.

See the main Reddcore repo for more information.

Getting Started

npm install @reddcoinproject/bitcore-p2p-redd

In order to connect to the Reddcoin network, you'll need to know the IP address of at least one node of the network, or use Pool to discover peers using a DNS seed.

var Peer = require('@reddcoinproject/bitcore-p2p-redd').Peer;

var peer = new Peer({host: '127.0.0.1', port: 45444});

peer.on('ready', function() {
  // peer info
  console.log(peer.version, peer.subversion, peer.bestHeight);
});
peer.on('disconnect', function() {
  console.log('connection closed');
});
peer.connect();

Then, you can get information from other peers by using:

// handle events
peer.on('inv', function(message) {
  // message.inventory[]
});
peer.on('tx', function(message) {
  // message.transaction
});

Take a look at this guide on the usage of the Peer class.
