Overview

Components

  • Peer/Node -- Maintains connections with the BitCoin network, and relays BitCoin traffic based on policies.
  • Wallet -- Maintains private key database, and controls balances for the user.
  • UI -- End-user interface. Could be a wx/Qt/GTK GUI, CLI, Android app, iPhone app, etc...
  • Miner -- Tries to solve blocks for the wallet.

Protocols

  • p2p -- Used for communication between Peers/Nodes, and also between your personal Peer/Node and your Wallet(s)
  • wallet -- Used for communication between your Wallet(s) and your Miner(s) and User Interface(s)
