dtp

SpineChain Distributed Task Platform

What is it?

The DTP is a tool for distributing tasks over a peer-to-peer network. It is written in golang.

How to use it?

This is still in development, so the only way is to download the code and open it in visual studio using go run .

When you do that, you will see a ui. You can run a second copy and then add the ip of the second copy in the peers.txt file (in the data folder). Afterwards, connect them to each other and they wil be able to send tasks to each other to be run.
