RE: update for beem: message signing, improved address handling and fixed memo encryption/decryption

in HiveDevs5 years ago (edited)

I had no idea our hive accounts also have bitcoins addresses we can use. :)

Nice updates to beem/beempy!

One of the other days I was wondering if something like this would be helpful:

A feature in an API like beem to be able to retrieve account history entries from a local blockchain mirror, provided the block id needed is older than the last block on the local blockchain mirror. Otherwise, send a request to a seed node which provides account history for newer blocks.

How I believe it would help?

  • more decentralization
  • less pressure on Hive nodes, especially for intensive short term use.
  • probably faster scripts if enough older transactions are needed (one case I found useful for is for delegations history)

Do you think it's worth the effort to implement such an extension to beem for account history?
