You can listen to updates, which all have a block id, and pick up where you left off when your service restarts or goes down.
To get the updates, I can watch the Hive blockchain for Podping messages. I first wanted to listen to a websocket thing that
John Spurlock (npub1g2v…achf) built, and backtrack with an API when the connection dropped or something. That is inherently unreliable, as I can still miss things m, and it is difficult to get the timings right. Also, I don’t want to rely on another abstraction layer.
