Viacore

NPM Package Build Status Coverage Status

Infrastructure to build Viacoin and blockchain-based applications for the next generation of financial technology.

Note: If you're looking for the viacore Library please see: https://github.com/viacoin/viacore-lib

Getting Started

Before you begin you'll need to have Node.js v4 or v0.12 installed. There are several options for installation. One method is to use nvm to easily switch between different versions, or download directly from Node.js.

npm install -g viacore

Spin up a full node and join the network:

npm install -g viacore
viacore

You can then view the Insight block explorer at the default location: http://localhost:3001/insight, and your configuration file will be found in your home directory at ~/.viacore.

Create a transaction:

var viacore = require('viacore');
var transaction = new viacore.Transaction();
var transaction.from(unspent).to(address, amount);
transaction.sign(privateKey);

Applications

Libraries

  • Lib - All of the core Viacoin primatives including transactions, private key management and others
  • Payment Protocol - A protocol for communication between a merchant and customer
  • P2P - The peer-to-peer networking protocol
  • Mnemonic - Implements mnemonic code for generating deterministic keys
