Ethereum: Can every Bitcoin client perform a local discovery of peers and synchronization of blockchain?
When it comes to synchronization with the bitcoin network, many customers can be beneficial. However, not all Bitcoin clients are equal when it comes to the local discovery of peers and blockchain synchronization. In this article, we will examine which customers serve these functions and why.
Local discovery of peers: a key aspect of network synchronization
The local discovery of peers refers to the customer’s ability to make connections with other customers in the same network, enabling the exchange of data without having to connect with a centralized server or relay node. This function is necessary to ensure that all customers have access to the latest data and updating blockchain.
Bitcoin clients: Can they perform a local discovery of peers?
Several Bitcoin clients serve a local peer discovery and blockchain synchronization:
- Bitcoin-QT (BTQ) : BTQ is an open source client developed by Andreas Antonopoulos, a well-known Bitcoin lawyer. Has built -in support for local discovering peers and synchronization with the bitcoin network.
- Multibit : Multibit is another popular Bitcoin client who supports the local discovery of peers and blockchain synchronization. It uses a technique called “based on cache” to enable quick data exchange between customers.
- BTCC (Bitcoin Cash Client) : BTCC, developed by Blockstream, also supports a local equivalent discovery and synchronization with the Bitcoin network.
Why some customers cannot handle local peers’ discovery
While most modern Bitcoin customers serve a local discovery of peers, some cannot:
- Litebit : Litebit is a light customer who connects only to the Bitcoin network via the relay node. There is no built -in support for a local peer discovery.
- MINER BT
: BT MINER is another customer who is based on the relay to the data exchange. Although it supports some form of synchronization, it may not provide the same level of functionality as customers with a built -in local discovery of peers.
How to enable local peers’ discovery and blockchain synchronization
To enable local peers’ discovery and blockchain synchronization with any Bitcoin client:
- Start a new installation : Start by installing the new version of the selected Bitcoin customer.
- CONFIGURE Network settings
: Configure the customer network settings to allow connecting to other customers in the same network.

To sum up, although not all Bitcoin clients support the local discovery of peers and synchronization of blockchain, some provide better functionality than others. By choosing a customer with built -in service of these functions or using the relay node, you can make sure your network is current and connected to the latest blockchain data.
