SPV over webRTC - Githubissues

wanderer commented 9 years ago

from discussion with Heiko; It would be awesome to have a SPV client running purely in the browser. What is need to support this is

bridge nodes, browser can't talk TCP. instead we can use WebRTC. But we need bridge nodes to the "real" network
we need SPV protocol. Which i think python has implemented
the full eth subprotocol must be supported over WebRTC. But depending on the network traffic light clients don't want to know about all the new txs and new blocks. so maybe there should be some way to only selectivly get new txs and block

also note the bridge nodes to be used also an introductory point for other SPV clients on webRTC. This way browser can form a webRTC mesh.
