Peer (bitcoinj-core 0.16.4 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.bitcoinj.net.AbstractTimeoutHandler
- - org.bitcoinj.core.PeerSocketHandler
  - - org.bitcoinj.core.Peer

All Implemented Interfaces:

StreamConnection
```
public class Peer
extends PeerSocketHandler
```
A Peer handles the high level communication with a Bitcoin node, extending a PeerSocketHandler which handles low-level message (de)serialization.

Note that timeouts are handled by the extended AbstractTimeoutHandler and timeout is automatically disabled (using AbstractTimeoutHandler.setTimeoutEnabled(boolean)) once the version handshake completes.

  - downloadDependencies
```
public com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture<java.util.List<Transaction>> downloadDependencies(Transaction tx)
```
    Returns a future that wraps a list of all transactions that the given transaction depends on, recursively. Only transactions in peers memory pools are included; the recursion stops at transactions that are in the current best chain. So it doesn't make much sense to provide a tx that was already in the best chain and a precondition checks this.
    
    For example, if tx has 2 inputs that connect to transactions A and B, and transaction B is unconfirmed and has one input connecting to transaction C that is unconfirmed, and transaction C connects to transaction D that is in the chain, then this method will return either {B, C} or {C, B}. No ordering is guaranteed.
    
    This method is useful for apps that want to learn about how long an unconfirmed transaction might take to confirm, by checking for unexpectedly time locked transactions, unusually deep dependency trees or fee-paying transactions that depend on unconfirmed free transactions.
    
    Note that dependencies downloaded this way will not trigger the onTransaction method of event listeners.

    Asks the connected peer for the block of the given hash, and returns a future representing the answer. If you want the block right away and don't mind waiting for it, just call .get() on the result. Your thread will block until the peer answers.
  - getPeerMempoolTransaction

```
    Asks the connected peer for the given transaction from its memory pool. Transactions in the chain cannot be retrieved this way because peers don't have a transaction ID to transaction-pos-on-disk index, and besides, in future many peers will delete old transaction data they don't need.
  - getAddr

```
public void setDownloadParameters(long secondsSinceEpoch,
                                  boolean useFilteredBlocks)
```
    When downloading the block chain, the bodies will be skipped for blocks created before the given date. Any transactions relevant to the wallet will therefore not be found, but if you know your wallet has no such transactions it doesn't matter and can save a lot of bandwidth and processing time. Note that the times of blocks isn't known until their headers are available and they are requested in chunks, so some headers may be downloaded twice using this scheme, but this optimization can still be a large win for newly created wallets.
    
    Parameters:
    
    secondsSinceEpoch - Time in seconds since the epoch or 0 to reset to always downloading block bodies.
  - addWallet
```
public void addWallet(Wallet wallet)
```
    Links the given wallet to this peer. If you have multiple peers, you should use a PeerGroup to manage them and use the PeerGroup.addWallet(Wallet) method instead of registering the wallet with each peer independently, otherwise the wallet will receive duplicate notifications.
  - removeWallet
```
public void removeWallet(Wallet wallet)
```
    Unlinks the given wallet from peer. See addWallet(Wallet).
  - startBlockChainDownload
```
public void startBlockChainDownload()
```
    Starts an asynchronous download of the block chain. The chain download is deemed to be complete once we've downloaded the same number of blocks that the peer advertised having in its version handshake message.

```
    Sends the peer a ping message and returns a future that will be invoked when the pong is received back. The future provides a number which is the number of milliseconds elapsed between the ping and the pong. Once the pong is received the value returned by getLastPingTime() is updated.

public boolean setMinProtocolVersion(int minProtocolVersion)
```
    The minimum P2P protocol version that is accepted. If the peer speaks a protocol version lower than this, it will be disconnected.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the peer was disconnected as a result
  - setBloomFilter
```
public void setBloomFilter(BloomFilter filter)
```
    Sets a Bloom filter on this connection. This will cause the given BloomFilter object to be sent to the remote peer and if either a memory pool has been set using the constructor or the vDownloadData property is true, a MemoryPoolMessage is sent as well to trigger downloading of any pending transactions that may be relevant.
    
    The Peer does not automatically request filters from any wallets added using addWallet(Wallet). This is to allow callers to avoid redundantly recalculating the same filter repeatedly when using multiple peers and multiple wallets together.
    
    Therefore, you should not use this method if your app uses a PeerGroup. It is called for you.
    
    If the remote peer doesn't support Bloom filtering, then this call is ignored. Once set you presently cannot unset a filter, though the underlying p2p protocol does support it.
  - setBloomFilter
```
public void setBloomFilter(BloomFilter filter,
                           boolean andQueryMemPool)
```
    Sets a Bloom filter on this connection. This will cause the given BloomFilter object to be sent to the remote peer and if requested, a MemoryPoolMessage is sent as well to trigger downloading of any pending transactions that may be relevant.

  - getBloomFilter
```
public BloomFilter getBloomFilter()
```
    Returns the last BloomFilter set by setBloomFilter(BloomFilter). Bloom filters tell the remote node what transactions to send us, in a compact manner.
  - getUTXOs
```
public com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture<UTXOsMessage> getUTXOs(java.util.List<TransactionOutPoint> outPoints)
```
    Sends a query to the remote peer asking for the unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) for the given outpoints, with the memory pool included. The result should be treated only as a hint: it's possible for the returned outputs to be fictional and not exist in any transaction, and it's possible for them to be spent the moment after the query returns. Most peers do not support this request. You will need to connect to Bitcoin XT peers if you want this to work.
    
    Throws:
    
    ProtocolException - if this peer doesn't support the protocol.
  - getUTXOs
```
public com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture<UTXOsMessage> getUTXOs(java.util.List<TransactionOutPoint> outPoints,
                                                                                 boolean includeMempool)
```
    Sends a query to the remote peer asking for the unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) for the given outpoints. The result should be treated only as a hint: it's possible for the returned outputs to be fictional and not exist in any transaction, and it's possible for them to be spent the moment after the query returns. Most peers do not support this request. You will need to connect to Bitcoin XT peers if you want this to work.
    
    Parameters:
    
    includeMempool - If true (the default) the results take into account the contents of the memory pool too.
    
    Throws:
    
    ProtocolException - if this peer doesn't support the protocol.
  - isDownloadTxDependencies
```
public boolean isDownloadTxDependencies()
```
    Returns true if this peer will use getdata/notfound messages to walk backwards through transaction dependencies before handing the transaction off to the wallet. The wallet can do risk analysis on pending/recent transactions to try and discover if a pending tx might be at risk of double spending.
  - setDownloadTxDependencies
```
public void setDownloadTxDependencies(boolean enable)
```
    Sets if this peer will use getdata/notfound messages to walk backwards through transaction dependencies before handing the transaction off to the wallet. The wallet can do risk analysis on pending/recent transactions to try and discover if a pending tx might be at risk of double spending.
  - setDownloadTxDependencies
```
public void setDownloadTxDependencies(int depth)
```
    Sets if this peer will use getdata/notfound messages to walk backwards through transaction dependencies before handing the transaction off to the wallet. The wallet can do risk analysis on pending/recent transactions to try and discover if a pending tx might be at risk of double spending.
