I dont think a libconsensus would have any kind of networking layer, nor
is C++ an antique tool set (hopefully libconsensus can avoid a boost
dependency, though thats not antique either). Ideally it would have a
simple API to give it blocks and a simple API for it to inform you of
what the current chain is. If you really want to get fancy maybe it has
pluggable block storage, too, but I dont see why you couldnt use this in
~any client?
