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
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);
