bitchan / bitchan-node Goto Github PK

It would be great to automatically host web interface at some port after running.

• Super-easy install
• Increases number of independent gateway nodes
• Make web interface pretty secure (you cannot guarantee that some domain example.com which hosts bitmessage-web is not compromised at the random moment of time, but you can install software once and audit it)

Objects with expired lifetime should be cleared from the store. Related to #3 (there should be background task which peridocally checks for expired objects).

We shouldn't request/download objects from nodes too fast to not let them flood us (see PyBitmessage code) and to have enough time to save objects to the disk.

To have better performance we need to accumulate received objects and dump them only if one of the following conditions meet:

• 5 minutes from the last dump
• We have more than 1000 objects in the cache

In addition to deb package, it should be also available Docker image with preinstalled and preconfigured bitchan-node and bitchan-web to provide better security.

We should keep the lists of hosts which we failed to connect to recently (PyBitmessage users 30min timeout) to slow down the connection attempts to the broken nodes.

bitcha-node should process getdata, inv and object messages for WebSocket transport so the bitchan-web clients can successfully receive and send Bitmessage network objects.
