Decentralized Data Network - Blockchain - TRUE Cross-Chain Trading - Application and Website Hosting - Much More - Qortal is the future internet infrastructure for the global digital world.
The procedure outlined in commit f4b06fb is now incorrect. Updated procedure:
- A node can opt into relay mode via the "relayModeEnabled":true setting.
- From this time onwards, they will ask their peers if they ever receive a file list request that they cannot serve by themselves.
- Whenever a peer responds with a file list, it is forwarded on to the originally requesting peer, complete with the peer address of the node that responded. Currently, only the first response is forwarded, but we may later decide to forward all responses.
- As well as forwarding, the relay peer keeps track of the peers that report to be holding hashes (these mappings are held for 30 seconds).
- The originally requesting peer can then make a request to the relay peer for the data file(s).
- The relay peer uses the mapping to forward the request on to another peer, and then forwards the response (i.e. the data file) back to the peer that originally requested the file.
This code is unfinished, and we haven't had the official genesis block for the data chain yet.
Therefore it is only possible to use this code if you first create your own test chain. I would
highly recommend waiting until the code is in a more complete state before trying to run this.
Build / run
Requires Java 11. OpenJDK 11 recommended over Java SE.
Install Maven
Use Maven to fetch dependencies and build: mvn clean package
Built JAR should be something like target/qortal-1.0.jar
