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