twister-seedrs

The twister-seedrs is a DNS seeder for twister-core written in Rust, based on the original Bitcoin DNSSeedrs source.

This project was created as an alternative to the legacy twister-seeder written in C++.

Install

Stable

cargo install twister-seedrs

Repository

  • git clone https://github.com/twisterarmy/twister-seedrs.git
  • git checkout twister - make sure you are using the twister network implementation (default branch)
  • cargo build --release - see target/* directory to get the compiled binary!

Usage

sudo twister-seedrs -s 94.140.114.251:28333 -s 209.209.8.80:28333\
                    seed.example.com ns.example.com john.doe.example.com

tip

Run twister-seedrs --help to get all available options!

note

  • current implementation (by dnsseedrs) requires at least few initial peers (--seednode values) during the first launch!
  • the original bitcoin crate is still in use and requires a separate fork for the twister network, at least to redefine the hardcoded network magic bytes (which is temporarily hardcoded in crawl.rs, line 112)
