Can Asset Transactions be Automatically Mirrored Between Nodes?

Question

I'm a newbie.  I would like to use Multichain to mirror and validate asset transactions between server automatically.  Is Multichain the right tool?

I'm trying to understand #4 here:

Why is it necessary to transfer assets between servers?

Answer 1

I think I answered my own question.  Transactions are between wallets and wallets are not mirrored.  They're unique by their nature.  It's a little unclear which operations in the CLI examples are blockchain commands versus wallet commands.  I guess by definition a wallet is a single point of failure, so I can't incorporate them in a clustered HA architecture.  I'll have to figure out how to not use wallets for accounts.

Answer 2

MultiChain is for creating peer-to-peer databases, with one possibility being a financial ledger (i.e. in which assets are transferred between addresses under the control of different nodes). I recommend starting by reading some posts on the MultiChain blog: http://www.multichain.com/blog/
