     6  Package netsync implements a concurrency safe block syncing protocol. The
     7  SyncManager communicates with connected peers to perform an initial block
     8  download, keep the chain and unconfirmed transaction pool in sync, and announce
     9  new blocks connected to the chain. Currently the sync manager selects a single
    10  sync peer that it downloads all blocks from until it is up to date with the
    11  longest chain the sync peer is aware of.
