Litecoin Cash Seeder
====================
litecoincash-seeder is a crawler for the Litecoin Cash network, which
exposes a list of reliable nodes via a built-in DNS server, or instead
just generates that list to push to a remote CloudFlare server.
Features:
* CloudFlare DNS integration
* regularly revisits known nodes to check their availability
* bans nodes after enough failures, or bad behaviour
* accepts nodes down to v0.3.19 to request new IP addresses from,
but only reports good post-v0.3.24 nodes.
* keeps statistics over (exponential) windows of 2 hours, 8 hours,
1 day and 1 week, to base decisions on.
* very low memory (a few tens of megabytes) and cpu requirements.
* crawlers run in parallel (by default 24 threads simultaneously).
REQUIREMENTS
------------
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-all-dev libssl-dev
USAGE: LOCAL DNS SERVER MODE
----------------------------
Assuming you want to run a dns seed on dnsseed.example.com, you will
need an authorative NS record in example.com's domain record, pointing
to for example vps.example.com:
$ dig -t NS dnsseed.example.com
;; ANSWER SECTION
dnsseed.example.com. 86400 IN NS vps.example.com.
On the system vps.example.com, you can now run dnsseed:
./dnsseed -h dnsseed.example.com -n vps.example.com
If you want the DNS server to report SOA records, please provide an
e-mail address (with the @ part replaced by .) using -m.
USAGE: CLOUDFLARE API MODE
--------------------------
Have the seeder above running all the time, but with no NS record.
Fill in CloudFlare API config and have the CloudFlare upload run on a
cron job.
COMPILING
---------
Compiling will require boost and ssl. On debian systems, these are provided
by `libboost-dev` and `libssl-dev` respectively.
$ make
This will produce the `dnsseed` binary.
RUNNING AS NON-ROOT
-------------------
Typically, you'll need root privileges to listen to port 53 (name service).
One solution is using an iptables rule (Linux only) to redirect it to
a non-privileged port:
$ iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 53 -j REDIRECT --to-port 5353
If properly configured, this will allow you to run dnsseed in userspace, using
the -p 5353 option.
