The [https://github.com/libbitcoin/libbitcoin-node libbitcoin-node] library provides an abstraction over the low level networking calls required to implement a full node on the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network. It was originally contained within [[Libbitcoin_Common|libbitcoin]].

==Example (Version3) ==
#include <future>
#include <iostream>
#include <bitcoin/node.hpp>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Starting up..." << std::endl;

bc::threadpool pool(1);
bc::node::configuration settings(bc::config::settings::mainnet);
bc::node::full_node node(settings);
std::promise<bc::code> started;

const auto handle_started = [&started](const bc::code& ec)
{
started.set_value(ec);
};

// To also "run" the node on the p2p nework next call node.run(...).
node.start(handle_started);

const auto ec = started.get_future().get();

if (ec)
{
std::cout << "The node failed to start: " << ec.message() << std::endl;
return 1;
}

const auto display_history = [](const bc::code& code,
const bc::chain::history_compact::list& history)
{
if (code)
{
std::cout << "Error: " << code.message();
return;
}

for (const auto& entry : history)
{
auto output = (entry.kind == bc::chain::point_kind::output);
auto kind = (output ? "output" : "spend");
auto height = entry.height;
auto hash = bc::encode_hash(entry.point.hash());
auto index = entry.point.index();

// The value for a spend is the entry.point.checksum() of the
// output. This allows the spends to be correlated to outputs.
std::cout << "History..." << std::endl;
std::cout << "Kind: " << kind << std::endl;
std::cout << "Height: " << height << std::endl;
std::cout << "Point: " << hash << ":" << index << std::endl;
std::cout << "Value: " << entry.value << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
}
};

while (true)
{
std::cout << "Type a bitcoin address or 'stop' to exit." << std::endl;

std::string command;
std::getline(std::cin, command);

if (command == "stop")
break;

bc::wallet::payment_address address(command);

if (!address)
{
std::cout << "Invalid address: " << command << std::endl;
continue;
}

// Accept up to 1000 rows and search from block 0.
node.chain().fetch_history(address, 1000, 0, display_history);
}

std::cout << "Shutting down..." << std::endl;

return 0;
}

==Console Application==
The library is accompanied by the console application [[Bitcoin_Node|Bitcoin Node]] (bn).
