Pass error along to the TX Broadcast RPC call if there was one

[OstlerDev]

This will better catch issues with transactions being invalid and return them back to whoever did the initial RPC call.

Hi @OstlerDev , thanks for the pull request, I've also seen your pull request in the litecore-node repo.

Actually. the v5.0 branch of litecore was not completed, I personally don't like that version, it saves 2 copies of the blockchain data, one belongs to lcoin, the other belongs to litecore, these two copies takes a lot disk space, make it really hard to run on cheap vps plan. Also it seems that bitpay no longer updates this stack (bitcore).

So I'm recently working on replacing litecore-node with lcoin (the v1.0.2-rebased branch is the latest version), the litecoin team is mostly using litecore stack for the blockchain explorer, so currently my work is only to make a tool or service to connect lcoin and insight-lite.

Seems that you are working on lighting network, I want to know if lcoin can provide what you need, so that I can know if it's necessary to maintain the litecore stack. If not, what does it lack?

[OstlerDev]

That would be amazing if there was some way to just directly connect lcoin and insight-lite.

My main use case was to get address balances, and the address unspent transaction outputs from the API, so as long as those API methods remain, I should be able to use it.

I also use the Explorers for debugging, so having that remain would be pretty useful.

I haven't found much info about if lcoin would be able to provide everything needed for the Lightning Network stack I am planning to build. Could you link me to where they have implemented things for the Lightning Network?

As mentioned in the readme, it should work as a Layer 2 Backend (lightning), but I don't think it will provide more lighting specific features, as it's only a full node for layer 1.

@ultragtx I think lcoin should be able to provide everything required of it then 👍

I will follow your project over at https://github.com/ultragtx/insight-lite-api-lcoin for progress on how that bridge is coming along :)

Are you interested in pull requests to that repo that add functionality?
