Aihe: Re: [Libbitcoin] How to poll with libbitcoin-client?
I believe you're on the right track. The approach used in
libbitcoin-explorer (
https://github.com/libbitcoin/libbitcoin-explorer/blob/master/src/obelisk_client.cpp#L77)
looks similar. It avoids the global stopped flag and relies on the
existence of an outstanding callback known to the codec.

Utilizing a similar approach you could removed the global flag and rely on
the success handler for fetch_history to call
obelisk_codec::fetch_transaction, keeping the loop alive (requiring codec
access either via closure or scope state). I personally prefer this as it
allows avoidance of global state.

I don't believe the approach is over-engineered, and in the case of
libbitcoin-explorer the approach was determined to avoid expiration
callback mistakes.
