Emne: Re: [Libbitcoin] How to poll with libbitcoin-client?
I agree that the current cli-based example is a bit complicated. I
originally had everything in one file for teaching purposes, but the
code is harder to follow now that it's been split. We really need a
nice, single-file example program that shows the most basic usage.

Well, here it is:

Hopefully this is clearer.
