## Tasks
|
|
|
|
This websocket server has several scheduled recurring tasks:
|
|
|
|
- Fetch latest blockheight from various block explorers
|
|
- Fetch crypto/fiat exchange rates
|
|
- Fetch latest Reddit posts
|
|
- Fetch funding proposals
|
|
- Check status of RPC nodes (`data/nodes.json`)
|

|
|
When Wowlet (the wallet application) starts up, it
|
|
will connect to this websocket server and receive
|
|
the information listed above which is necessary
|
|
for normal operation.
|
|
|
