TenderMint - proof of concept

• p2p: P2P networking stack. Designed to be extensible.
• merkle: Immutable Persistent Merkle-ized AVL+ Tree, used primarily for keeping track of mutable state like account balances.
• blocks: The blockchain, storage of blocks, and all the associated structures.
• state: The application state, which is mutated by blocks in the blockchain.
• consensus: The core consensus algorithm logic.
• mempool: Handles the broadcasting of uncommitted transactions.
• crypto: Includes cgo bindings of ed25519.

Development Status

• Testnet pending
• Bootstrapping now
• Mempool complete
• Consensus complete
• Block propagation sidelined
• PEX peer exchange complete
• p2p/* *complete*
• Ed25519 bindings complete
• merkle/* *complete*

Issues

• merkle/* does not free old children nodes. Implement something memory-aware that makes merkle/* act like a weakly referenced map.
