Thank you Marcos, Though written in Rust, bitcrust-db is definitely usable as pluggable module as its interface will be roughly some queries, add_tx and add_block with blobs and flags. (Bitcrust internally uses a deserialize-only model, keeping references to the blobs with the parsed data).
However, from Core's side I believe network and storage are currently rather tightly coupled, which will make this far from trivial. Regardless, I am also hoping (with funding & a team) to build a Bitcrust networking component as well to bring a strong competitor to the market. best, Tomas On Fri, Apr 7, 2017, at 09:55, Marcos mayorga wrote: > Hi Tomas, > > I've read it and think it is an excellent work, I'd like to see it > integrated into bitcoin-core as a 'kernel module'. > > I see there are a lot of proof of concepts out there, IMO every one > deserve a room in the bitcoin client as a selectable feature, to make the > software more flexible and less dictatorial, an user could easily select > which features she wants to run. > > Best regards, > Marcos > > > I have been working on a bitcoin implementation that uses a different > > approach to indexing for verifying the order of transactions.
