BIP171 - Specs, Mock server, template project and client librairies

[straumat]

Hello,

I worked on the BIP 171 and I created Cerise (http://www.cerise.tech/ & https://github.com/straumat/cerise) that provides the following artifacts :

• BIP-0171 specifications : http://www.cerise.tech/#specifications
• A mocked BIP-0171 compliant server available online you can use to understand the API and make calls : http://api.cerise.tech/swagger-ui.html
• A mocked BIP-0171 compliant server as a Java application you can use to develop your client application : https://github.com/straumat/cerise-server-mock/
• A mocked BIP-0171 compliant server as a Docker image you can use to develop your client application : https://hub.docker.com/r/straumat/cerise-server-mock/
• A BIP-0171 library to transform your application in a BIP-0171 server : https://github.com/straumat/cerise/
• A server template project to quickly write your implementation and automatically produce your BIP-0171 server : https://github.com/straumat/cerise-server-template
• A collection of client libraries to call any BIP-0171 compliant server with your favorite language : http://www.cerise.tech/#clients

I made some proposal of evolutions here : https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/wiki/Comments:BIP-0171

Threads like this tend to get buried in the regular Bitcoin Discussion forum.  You might wish to move it to Development & Technical Discussion instead.


So this is the BIP that would allow for a standardised currency exchange rates to use in wallets and other apps?  I remember back when MultiBit was still a thing and some of the third-party conversion services you could choose from in the settings suddenly stopped working.  I can't say I've noticed this particular issue since I stopped using MultiBit, but I suppose it's something that could happen in future with any current wallet, so the idea makes good sense.

Ok. Thanks
