Generalised BlockChain
Currently uses nightly features
To use LukChain, a config.toml file needs to be setup to define different user profiles.
This should follow the following structure:
``` [config] [[profiles]] blocksize = 10 lookupaddress = "127.0.0.1:8181" lookupfilter = "user" userlocation = "user1.json" bc_location = "blockchain1.bin"
[[profiles]] blocksize = 20 lookupaddress = "127.0.0.1:8181" lookupfilter = "miner" userlocation = "user2.json" bc_location = "blockchain2.bin" ```
Each field can be ommitted if not needed. The use of each field in the program is:
block_size: If the role chosen is Miner, this option will define the size of blocks that it will add to the blockchain and will distribute to connected nodes.lookup_address: Address to contact initially to obtain addresses of other nodes in the network to connect to.lookup_filter: Included in message to LookUp and allows filtering of address book members based on their role in the network.user_location: Location where information about user is stored when it is generated or needs to be retrieved on startupbc_location: Location of binary file containing local copy of blockchainTo run with cargo: cargo run --example chat -- --role lookup
