README

broadcast

A plugin for IOTA's GoShimmer Node to broadcast every block on the block layer and write it to active TCP connections over port 5050.

Installation

Move the project's folder into your goshimmer/plugins/ folder.

In goshimmer/plugins/research.go add the following line:

broadcast.Plugin(),

in the node.Plugins(...) list.

You may need to recompile the goshimmer software.

In the config.json you need to add "broadcast" to the "node" sections as followed:

"node": {
"disablePlugins": [],
"enablePlugins": ["broadcast"]
},

Usage

Just connect to the plugin's port 5050 and you get the blocks in real time as long as you are connected. A maximum of 256 Connections are possible before it throws errors.

Donations

If you want to keep me motivated to do more open source stuff you can donate me some IOTA's. Even very small amounts makes me happy:
