Bitcoin Computer Bitcore

About Bitcoin Computer Bitcore

Bitcoin Computer Bitcore is a community-driven effort to produce a readable, reliable, and modern Javascript implementation of Bitcoin. Most current Javascript Bitcoin implementations do not adhere to modern coding standards and are very hard to read as a consequence. We want to create a Bitcoin implementation that every JavaScript programmer can read and understand.

In step one, we want to get the entire codebase to comply with the Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide. Step two will be to port the code base to ES6. Step three is statically type-checking the entire codebase with Facebook’s Flow. We suspect that we will uncover bugs in the process.

We are looking for contributors. You do not have to be a Bitcoin protocol expert to contribute. All you need to be is a good Javascript programmer. If you want to help, check out CONTRIBUTING.md or email clemens@bitcoincomputer.io.

Installation

Using NPM

$ npm install --save bitcoin-computer-bitcore
