CryptoNode

A decentralized bandwidth sharing and cryptocurrency management system designed for microcontrollers. Users can share their bandwidth in exchange for cryptocurrency rewards and manage their crypto wallets through a Bluetooth-enabled mobile app interface.

Features

• Cryptocurrency Management

  • Multiple cryptocurrency support
  • Secure wallet creation and management
  • Transaction handling
  • Real-time balance checking
  • Transaction history tracking

• Bandwidth Sharing

  • Automated bandwidth monitoring
  • Reward distribution based on contribution
  • Configurable sharing parameters
  • Real-time metrics tracking

• Bluetooth Connectivity

  • Secure BLE communication
  • Mobile app pairing
  • Real-time data synchronization
  • Event-driven architecture

• Security

  • AES-256 encryption for data at rest
  • Secure key storage
  • Transaction signing
  • Anti-tampering measures

Prerequisites

• Rust 1.75 or later
• Cargo package manager
• Compatible microcontroller (specifications TBD)
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) support
• Mobile device for app interface

Installation

1. Install Rust and Cargo:

   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/cryptonode.git
   cd cryptonode

3. Build the project:

   cargo build --release

Configuration

The application can be configured through the config.json file, which is automatically created in the system's configuration directory. Key configuration options include:

• Bluetooth settings
• Bandwidth sharing parameters
• Reward rates
• Security settings
• Update preferences

Usage

1. Start the CryptoNode service:

   cargo run --release

2. Connect your mobile device using the companion app (coming soon)

3. Configure your bandwidth sharing preferences

4. Monitor your rewards and manage your crypto wallets

Building for Microcontroller

(Instructions for building and flashing to specific microcontroller hardware will be added once hardware specifications are finalized)

Running Tests

cargo test

Security Considerations

• All sensitive data is encrypted at rest
• Private keys never leave the device
• Bluetooth communications are encrypted
• Regular security audits are recommended
• Keep firmware up to date
