Title: Using Bitcoin as a LIBRARY (in C++) Post by: fellowtraveler on August 15, 2011, 10:47:25 PM Hi all,
I need to add some Bitcoin functionality to OT (to enable low-trust servers, since the current crop of servers seems to get hacked every 2 months...) I do NOT want the full Bitcoin functionality, I just need to be able to do a few basic things, and it would be nice to just link Bitcoin into OT as a library. Requirements: 1) Should be able to create my own Bitcoin addresses (for receiving payments.) 2) Should be able to check the balance at a specific address. 3) Should be able to send a Bitcoin payment from one of my addresses (to a target address.) CAN ONE OF YOU PLEASE PROVIDE ME SUCH A LIBRARY? Preferably I just link the library and make a few function calls -- and that's it! Presumably the code would be a subset of the existing Bitcoin client. ----------------------------------- One more thing: I do NOT need this through the RPC JSON interface, which I already have working. Rather, I need this to be C code that I can link directly to my existing C code, without having to also separately run the Bitcoin client. Please show me some sample code, or point me in the right direction. As a reward for this, I will provide open-source low-trust servers, which you can use without having to worry about hackers and thieves (like happened recently at MtGox and MyBitcoin.) -Fellow Traveler Title: Re: Using Bitcoin as a LIBRARY (in C++) Post by: w1R903 on August 16, 2011, 01:53:29 AM Check out genjix's libbitcoin: https://gitorious.org/libbitcoin
It's not complete yet, but I believe he's making quick progress. It may actually have everything you need now. I've been watching open transactions with interest -- very interesting work and very complementary to Bitcoin. Thank you.
