Bitsocket Standalone

Bitsocket Standalone (SA) includes most of the features from Bitsocket FH but none of the bloat. Bitsocket SA does this by routing around mongodb and parsing transactions from ZeroMQ directly, as well as many other performance improvements.

What is Bitsocket?

Bitsocket is simple way to stream bitcoin transactions straight from your local Bitcoin Cash node to the world using SSE (Server Sent Events).

This is not only more secure, but also offers far better performance and customizability than you'd get from ZeroMQ direcly.
