This removes the TipGeneration method and infrastructure from the sync
manager as it is no longer needed since the blockchain is safe for
concurrent access.

netsync

Build Status ISC License Doc

Package netsync implements a concurrency safe block syncing protocol.

Overview

The provided implementation of SyncManager communicates with connected peers to perform an initial block download, keep the chain in sync, and announce new blocks connected to the chain. Currently the sync manager selects a single sync peer that it downloads all blocks from until it is up to date with the longest chain the sync peer is aware of.
