ex_wire v0.1.1 ExWire.Sync
This is the heart of our syncing logic. Once we’ve connected to a number
of peers via ExWire.PeerSup, we begin to ask for new blocks from those
peers. As we receive blocks, we add them to our ExWire.Struct.BlockQueue.
If the blocks are confirmed by enough peers, then we verify the block and
add it to our block tree.
Note: we do not currently store the block tree, and thus we need to build
it from genesis each time.Link to this section Summary

When were receive a block header, we’ll add it to our block queue. When we receive the corresponding block body, we’ll add that as well
Once we start a sync server, we’ll wait for active peers

TODO: We do not always want to sync from the genesis.
We will need to add some "restore state" logic.Starts a Sync process.
