P2P Node Project

This project implements a peer-to-peer (P2P) node system with secure communication using SSL/TLS. Each node can connect to other nodes, exchange public keys, and send signed messages.

Features

• Secure communication using SSL/TLS
• Public key exchange between peers
• Message signing and verification
• HTTP API for node control
• Command-line interface for node interaction

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+
• pip (Python package manager)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/RedSummit1/node-jonathan
   cd node-jonathan
   

2. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`
   

3. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Usage

Running a Node

1. Start the node using the start_node.py script. You can customize the host and port settings via command-line arguments:

   python start_node.py --host 0.0.0.0 --admin_rest_port 8080 --p2p_port 4443

2. Admin Console: Once started, the node will output the login screen for the admin console:

   Admin Console Login
   -----------------
   Username:
   Password:
   

   • Use admin as the username and admin123 as the password to login.

3. Using the Admin Console:

   The admin console provides several commands for node management. Here are some of the essential commands:

   • connect <host> <port>: Connect to another node.
   • peers: List connected peers.
   • send <message>: Send a message to the first connected peer.
   • show_model: Display detailed information about the stored encrypted model.
   • tune or tune <peer_index> <model_index>: Initiate a fine-tuning of a local model, or send a model to a remote peer for fine-tuning.
   • test_model <text> or test_model <model_index> <text>: Perform sentiment analysis using an available model.
   • list_clients: Show active client connections.
   • price <amount>: Set token price for fine-tuning.
   • wallet_balance: Show node and client token balance.
   • init_wallet <amount>: Add initial tokens to the client wallet.
   • escrow_status <escrow_id>: Check status for specific escrow IDs.
   • list_escrows: List all available escrows.
   • list_models: List all loaded models with their status and SHA256 hash of their weights.
   • select_model <index>: Set a particular model to be the active one.
   • model_info: View details on the current active model.
   • exit: Close the admin console.
   • help: Show available admin commands.

Security Note

This implementation uses self-signed certificates for SSL/TLS. In a production environment, you should use properly signed certificates from a trusted Certificate Authority.
