I have coded most of what is needed to support the realtime mode as described previously. Now just need to call the new RT functions, which is a bit of a mess as there was no formal interface internally, so turns out there are a dozen functions that need to be created. I have it so it just passes through to the existing and testing to make sure I didnt break anything.
they all have a similar structure to:
function()
{
check realtime dataset
if data available return it
return result from existing method
}
So a dozen "check realtime dataset" functions and theoretically all the bitcoin RPC should be updating its return values in realtime as the blocks come in.
Separately, I received three addcoin scripts, which is the only API call that is needed to add support for a new coin!

So just like that iguana adds three more coins that it supports. I am verifying they sync to realtime correctly and getting things setup for a parallel sync. will be interesting to see how fast iguana can sync these new coins

test results: DGB synced just fine except for a few blocks that used up too much memory,maybe it was just a network data error as it went past it after spewing lots of errors.
EAC had a header version number issue and also the txformat appears to have changed, so i will need some info from eac devs how they changed the block or tx serialization
DOGE needed auxpow to be set, but it seems that peer discovery is not working so well for some reason.
Not sure how long dgbcoind takes to sync from scratch, but iguana got almost synced in about an hour, but definitely some sort of memory issue and upon restart it went a lot faster. seems there are some bugs which dgb exposes. After all the bundles got sync'ed the creation of all the additonal files took just a couple minutes and only the end of the ledger validation had a glitch. So, not perfect, but it stumbled to the finish line:
