Pool

A pool maintains a connection of Peers. A pool will discover peers via DNS seeds, as well as when peer addresses are announced through the network.

The quickest way to get connected is to run the following:


var bitcore = require('bitcore');
var Pool = bitcore.transport.Pool;
var Networks = bitcore.Networks;

var pool = new Pool(Networks.livenet);

// connect to the network
pool.connect();

// attach peer events
pool.on('peerinv', function(peer, message) {
  // a new peer message has arrived
});

// will disconnect all peers
pool.disconnect()

For more information about Peer events, please read the Peer documentation. Peer events are relayed to the pool, a peer event inv in the pool would be peerinv. When a peer is disconnected the pool will try to connect to the list of known addresses to maintain connection.
