Bitcoin broadcasting tool

The aim of this project is to create a tool which serializes bitcoin peer-to-peer network flow and generates constant-bitrate stream for broadcasting. The serialization tool must be connected to a trusted peer (a bitcoin node run by yourself) because transactions and blocks are not verified to keep this tool as simple as possible without compromizing security.

The resulting stream may be transmitted over any unidirectional channel like DVB-T and FM subcarrier.

Current version connects to given bitcoin node, is capable of requesting transaction and block contents, serializing traffic, and logging all network messages to a log directory.

See our project page for a longer description.
