// to test you can create wallets e.g. in https://rushwallet.com/

// --------------- SENDING TRANSACTION TO SERVER --------------- //

    node.SendMessage(InvPayload(transaction)) 
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep 1000
    // Send transaction
    node.SendMessage(TxPayload(transaction))
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep 5000
    node.Disconnect()
    transaction.GetHash()
//sendSync()

//let sendAsync() =
//    async {
//        use node = Node.Connect(network, "81.17.27.134:8333")
//        node.VersionHandshake()
//        do! node.SendMessageAsync(InvPayload(transaction)) 
//            |> Async.AwaitTask
//        do! Async.Sleep 1000
//        do! node.SendMessageAsync(TxPayload(transaction)) 
//            |> Async.AwaitTask
//        do! Async.Sleep 5000
//        node.DisconnectAsync()
//        Console.WriteLine (transaction.GetHash())
//    }
//sendAsync() |> Async.Start

// Instead of sending, you can broadcast the 
// transaction manually e.g. from http://blockr.io
let transactionToBroadcast = transaction.ToHex()

// You can search the transaction 
// e.g. from: https://blockchain.info/
let hash = transaction.GetHash()
