- bitcoinheaders.net exists to help provide one more, diverse, source of Bitcoin blockchain data - this time using the DNS. By fetching headers and/or neutrino filters from as many sources as possible, you can start to build reliable detection of censorship-based attacks. While this still leave mitigation of the attacks to be developed, detection is always the first step. + bitcoinheaders.net exists to help provide one more, diverse, source of Bitcoin blockchain data - this time using the DNS.

bitcoinheaders.net currently supports fetching of either full Bitcoin headers or neutrino filter headers, both with a similar format. To ensure reliable access in the face of strict DNS filters, the data is encoded in IPv6 addresses in AAAA records and DNSSec signed to prevent some basic attacks. -- 2.39.5
