Dev Roadmap

DEPRECATED

general

• check chainstate in transaction validity #10
• remove transactions from pool on adding block #59
• mining for number of cycles to allow fast suspending #60
• write test-suites for basic blockchain #57 #58
• increment transaction nonce for every outgoing transaction #70
• add fee to transaction #83
• check public key length in transaction validity #84
• validate difficulty target #85
• refactor chain to be map of blocks, traverse top to bottom #88
• add lock time to transaction #125
• replace key worker with elixir-wallet #132
• make a min transaction fee mandantory and configurable per byte #131
• make coinbase transaction time locked #138

sync

• sync ping-pong example #41 #52
• manually add peers #53
• provide get all peers endpoint #78
• provide get_info endpoint #69
• periodic check for peers current block hash #77
• broadcast new block to all peers #75
• broadcast new transactions to all peers #68
• provide get_block_by_hash endpoint #76
• format addresses in json as base58 #86
• continue mining on newest block, if received #80
• ignore own peer in handling peers #79
• implement initial sync from latest block to genesis block #97
• endpoint to fetch balance from chainstate account #89
• endpoint to get transactions from pool concerning account #90
• add list of transactions concerning account to chainstate (block_hash, tx_hash) #91
• endpoint to get transactions concerning account from chain #92
• when being added by a new peer, try to add it as well #116
• after adding a peer add his peers #111
• move dead peer removal to sync worker #112
• sync worker state functions #113
• refactor serialization to be in aeutil #114
• getting random peer from peers we connect to #115
• implement nakamoto consensus, follow the latest valid chain #133

persistence

• write blockchain and chainstate to disk on shutdown
• read blockchain and chainstate from disk on startup
• use rocksdb to read/write blocks by hash
• use rocksdb to read/write chainstate by address/pubkey
• lazy load data from rocksdb if needed

api

• internal api functions protected by key (from env) to control node #134
