Hello all,
I've just tagged v0.1.0 of my bitcoin-seeder program on github:
https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-seeder
This is the program powering the DNS seed on seed.bitcoin.sipa.be.
It is a crawler for the bitcoin network, with integrated DNS server.
It's not more than a preview release with only mininal functionality. Missing features include: * logging * some configuration options * daemonization * ...
It has however been running without problem on my node for over a week now, so I'm releasing it. Comments and questions are welcome.
The program regularly dumps its database in dnsseed.dat, allowing fast reinitialization. As the program is far from finished, I do not guarantee that the file format will remain compatible with future versions.
