Block Processor

Block Processor, or block_processor, takes care of fetching block operations from the blockchain and passing them on into NATS Streaming, encoded using Protocol Buffers.

When run for the first time, block_processor starts with the last block on the blockchain. Then it periodically stores the last processed block number in a dedicated NATS Streaming channel. When started again later, it loads the last processed block number from the channel and keeps processing blocks where it left off previously.
