Part 2 RFC: Implementation Roadmap

I'm working on Part 2. So I thought I'd share a bit of the roadmap. I'm aiming on publishing sometime in the next week but still have a few hurdles and could use your expertise.

Hop on to our Slack if you wanna get involved.

• Basic Contract (P2P Protocol)
  • Endpoints:
    • get_chain, post_transactions, get_nodes, post_block, ...
• Heartbeat Loop
  • Ported to aiohttp over Flask
  • asyncio allows us to have an event loop for introspection (and pinging other nodes)
• Transaction Verification
  • Using Python NaCl to generate a public/private signing key pair: private.key, public.key which should be generated before runtime.
  • Would still appreciate thoughts on this method
• NAT (Opening ports on Router, like uTorrent/Transmission/Bitcoin Wallet): uPNP, NAT-PMP, PCP...
  • Attempting to open a port on the router at runtime using one of these protocols
  • Bogged down on this one, poor python library support unsure how to proceed for now
  • Would appreciate help on this one
