Hi,
Welcome to the initial post of Blockchain Node.
Over the past few months, I have been working on the initial infrastructure to launch, manage and connect to blockchain nodes in a much easier way than you can now. I spent a good amount of time in 2018 working on various blockchain side projects, solidity programming, testing frameworks for solidity contracts and of course, launching and managing lots of processes, bitcoind, geth, rippled, monerod, etc.
I realized that it took way to long to setup and manage all of that infrastructure, so I started building this service in December of 2018.
I’m now at the point where I have a functional development/test environment with bitcoind (mainnet and testnet), able to launch a node in minutes. Testnet takes under a minute to sync off of the deployed snapshot and mainnet takes under 3 minutes.
I also have a working SDK in ruby where you can connect to the node in a few lines of code.
client = BlockchainNodeClient.new(id, secret, node_id)
client.getwalletinfo
client.getbalance
client.walletpassphrase("MyPassword",60)
client.sendtoaddress("Address", 0.1)More to come. Stay tuned.
Matt
