Short term

  • Implement PeerNode class to keep track of peer addressed and routing requests related to it

    • get /peers
    • post /peers
    • post /ping

  • Style exchange using bootstrap

  • Optimize blockchain.json size => Maybe don't mind blocks without transactions?

  • Each node should track IPs of peers

    • Periodically send out pings to test for connection
    • Delect record of IP if failed ping request

  • Put addresses in local .json and iterate over them to send posts after mining a block

  • Broadcast transactions using "Signaling Server"

    • minimum transactions to begin mining

Long term

  • Make CLI + GUI for client.js
    • Enter your pk/sk for rewards
    • Enter if you want to enable mining
    • Have GUI for mining process and track incoming/outgoing requests
  • Make front end to interact with blockchain
