[−][src]Module bitcoin::network::constants
Network constants
This module provides various constants relating to the Bitcoin network protocol, such as protocol versioning and magic header bytes.
The Network type implements the Decodable and
Encodable traits and encodes the magic bytes of the given
network
Example: encoding a network's magic bytes
use bitcoin::network::constants::Network; use bitcoin::consensus::encode::serialize; let network = Network::Bitcoin; let bytes = serialize(&network.magic()); assert_eq!(&bytes[..], &[0xF9, 0xBE, 0xB4, 0xD9]);
Structs
| ServiceFlags | Flags to indicate which network services a node supports. |
Enums
| Network | The cryptocurrency to act on |
Constants
| PROTOCOL_VERSION | Version of the protocol as appearing in network message headers
This constant is used to signal to other peers which features you support.
Increasing it implies that your software also supports every feature prior to this version.
Doing so without support may lead to you incorrectly banning other peers or other peers banning you.
These are the features required for each version:
