Feathercoin P2P Network Sniffer v0.0.2

ftc Sniffer is a Python script based on an early version of jgarzik / pynode ( https://github.com/jgarzik/pynode ) that connects to any node on the Feathercoin Network and trigger the following events:

new_block_event(block): Triggered when a Block is found
new_tx_event(tx): Triggered when a Transactions is found

The purpose of ftc Sniffer is to add an easy way to listen to Feathercoin Network events and facilitate extensions without having to alter any Feathercoind's code, making it easy to upgrade you Feathercoind node without having to rewrite your extensions.

IMPORTANT: ftc Sniffer doesn't do any validation, it just trust the node it connects for that, so if you use it on production, make sure you connect to a node you trust.

The best possible scenario is having ftc Sniffer listening to a local Feathercoind node, since we can assume you can trust your own node. But tecnicly, it can connect to any node on the network ( http://blockchain.info/connected-nodes )

See how it works

Here is an example of the script output:

Aditional Notes

All blocks show up as invalid. I have not looked to see why that is.
