Bitcache
A Peer-to-Peer Cache System for Bitcoin
1. Bitcoin Cache System
Bitcache lets you cache a filtered and processed version of the bitcoin blockchain data. First, quick intro:
- Bitbus: Bitbus lets you crawl the blockchain for various filtered transaction patterns you're looking for using a simple query language named Bitquery.
- Bitsocket: Bitsocket lets you listen to realtime transaction events on the Bitcoin P2P network as they happen using Bitquery.
- TXT: TXT is a versatile bitcoin transaction storage system which lets you cache bitcoin transactions along with semantic metadata.
Bitcache integrates all 3 components, making it easy to stream Bitbus and Bitsocket data to TXT with a simple declarative syntax.
2. Peer to Peer
Bitcache creates a TXT tape, a single self-contained portable SQLite file, which can be opened by any SQLite client, can be hosted and served by any TXT client, and can be shared in a distributed manner.
Because the portable TXT tape encapsulates an entire API stack in a single portable file, the API can be easily shared and replicated in a peer to peer manner.
You can archive or pass it around easily, such as through USB drives, email attachments, BitTorrent, etc. After all, it's just a single file.
