Something like C->S > "listenmemorypool", S->C "updatememorypool" (continually). HTTP and JSON-RPC are a client-server model; there is no way for the server to make calls to the client. It's not practical to expect clients to run their own JSON-RPC server - many cannot listen on WAN ports at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
