HI - Looking to receive the latest block as published and confirmed by the node. Review the specific Block for transactions hashes included with in that block?
Thanks

Hi Daniel,

To receive the blocks from the network, use the bitcore-p2p module. http://bitcore.io/guide/module/p2p/index.html
Code will look something like:

var p2p = require('bitcore-p2p');
var Peer = p2p.Peer;
var messages = new p2p.Messages();

peer.on('ready', function() {
  console.log('bitcoin p2p connection established');
});
peer.on('inv', function(m) {
  peer.sendMessage(messages.GetData(m.inventory));
});
peer.on('block', function(m) {
  // new block arrived from the network
  console.log(m.block.id);
  // iterate over block's transactions
  m.block.transactions.forEach(function(tx) {
    // do something with the tx
  });
});
peer.on('error', function(err) {
  console.log(err);
});
peer.connect();
