Multichain : Appending Data to Blockchain with DATA STREAMS

 

MultiChain streams enable a blockchain to be used as a general purpose append-only database, with the blockchain providing time stamping, notarization and immutability. This video continues from the earlier video post in playlist and now focuses on populating data in the "nutsbolts" blockchain created earlier. 

 

Erstwhile seen node "A" creates a data stream data1, populates some sample data, which is immediately visible in the other node "B". Node A further grants exclusive permissions to Node "B" for send and writing to data stream data1. The complete demonstration is shown on two separate Linux machines as introduced in M-1 and M-2 videos in Multichain playlist i.e. Node A and Node B. data stream created name: "data1" 

 

 Commands used

 

create stream data1 '{"restrict":"write"}' 

 

listpermissions data1.* publish data1 key1 '{"json":{"name":"kabali","city":"chennai"}}' 

 

liststreams 

 

subscribe data1 

 

liststreamitems data1 

 

grant 1...send 

 

grant 1...data1.write 

 

publish data1 key2 '{"json":{"name":"baasha","city":"mumbai"}}' 

 

subscribe data1 

 

liststreamitems data1 

 

liststreamkeys data1 

 

liststreamkeyitems data1 key1

Multichain : How to Connect-Receive-Send to a Blockchain node?

Continuing from the first video that was peculiar to basic instruction and installation of Multichain blockchain platform on Node A, this video moves further by connecting another node B. Node B is a independent node on the network in which the Multichain blockchain application is already installed exactly with the steps seen in the first video of Multichain playlist . The set of commands used in this videos are available as below:

Node A 

First command onwards 

multichain-util create nutsbolts 

multichaind nutsbolts -daemon 

 

 Node B multichaind nutsbolts@192.168.10.19:4265 (IP is as I have configured and you are free to choose ur configuration as u wish) and you will get a unique address starting with 1...... 

 

Node A multichain-cli nutsbolts grant 1... connect send receive (Here with you grant exclusive permission to Node B from Node A Node B 

 

multichaind nutsbolts -daemon (Now the blockchain network will be seen connected to) 

 

To get into interactive shell mode simply type this command at both the node terminals 

 

multichain-cli nutsbolts 

and then on either terminal use the following commands to get useful info of the created blockchain and network peers 

 

getinfo : See a list of all available commands: 

help : Show all permissions currently assigned: 

listpermissions : List the addresses in the wallet: 

listaddresses : For each node, get a list of connected peers: 

getpeerinfo: Get peer info of connected nodes
