Add support for seeding other networks

Open maaku opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Adds four command-line options for specifying parameters necessary to run bitcoin-seeder as a DNS seed for bitcoin-like networks other than mainnet/testnet:

  • “--seed ” to override the built-in bitcoin seed nodes;
  • “--p2port ” to specify the default port for the network;
  • “--magic ” to specify the protocol header/magic bytes; and
  • “--minheight” to specify the minimum block height a node must report.

This is sufficient to enable bitcoin-seeder to be used for seeding signet, local regtest networks for testing, or networks more distantly related to bitcoin such as Blockstream's Liquid.
