blvm-node 0.1.7

Bitcoin Commons BLVM: Minimal Bitcoin node implementation using blvm-protocol and blvm-consensus
//! Example: Node control and utility RPC methods
//!
//! This example demonstrates the control/utility JSON-RPC methods available
//! in blvm-node. These methods let you manage the node lifecycle, inspect
//! memory and RPC state, and control logging.
//!
//! This example shows the RPC request format. To test with a running node:
//!   1. Start blvm-node: blvm-node --network testnet
//!   2. Run this example: cargo run --example rpc-control
//!
//! Or use curl:
//!   curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:18332 \
//!     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
//!     -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"uptime","params":[],"id":1}'
