Does anybody know a place to get the source code of the Bitcoin Peer to Peer network? I only need the P2P network portion of the Bitcoin protocol. I am going to implement a new virtual currency. So i am going to reuse the existing bitcoin peer to peer network infrastructure for my project. Can someone advise me on this?
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/net.cpp this part includes the network portion. But i don't know whether it is tightly coupled with other parts of the bitcoin source code. Could you able to advise me on how to separate P2P network portion from this? – tdumidu – 2014-04-12T06:35:30.580
1If you are intending to create your own virtual currency, then you will already have the skills to do this. The networking part is not the hard part. – Greg Hewgill – 2014-04-12T07:32:13.253
