Crawl across the bitcoin network beginning from a seed peer. Check out the example for usage.

Performance

The crawler is a bit of a memory hog at the moment since it queues up work in an unbounded channel. Each node visited can add 1000s to the queue. An alternative memory-saving strategy can be implemented, but may require more complex coordination with tasks.

On a consumer-grade laptop, memory usage remains relatively consistent no matter the max_concurrent_tasks setting, but CPU usage spikes do occur as you turn that knob up.
