PHP Bitcoin Development Kit | v0.0.46_pre15 | Alpha | BitcoinDevKit.com

[Xenland]

The first sync is almost done I say one more day it needs about 10,000 more blocks to finish.

[Xenland]

Okay full sync has occurred, Bitcoin should be fully accessable including the example pages and the "unlock practical code" page you my now purchase your first script at http://bitcoindevkit.com/examples/example1.php
and scrolling down and clicking "Show Practical Source Code" under the "Unlock Practical Source Code" pages.

Cool man lots of features it's missing but it's looking great so far.

It's true it's not hard to develop with bitcoin without a dev kit but it's nice to see that someone is taking the time to properly handle all possible requests and responses.  Once every API call is added it won't be "why do I need this?" it will be "why wouldn't you use this?"

Once every API call is added I could see the higher level functions growing into something very useful as well.

You can count on a donation from me once it hits version one.

Great to hear these inspiring words Keeps me going!!


I'd also like to announce that I've been working on a project/contract that involves BTC and LTC and utilizes a variant of the BDK for php well it seems its difficult to use multiple coins with the BDK even if they are the same API so I'm working out the details but the next updates should expect to have concurrency built into it some how.

That's great news!  Easy LTC integration to existing BTC applications is the way to go at the moment.

Okay so finally i got bitcoin client to run stable in the background so now you should be able to purchase the scripts the url again is
http://www.bitcoindevkit.com/examples/example1.php
scroll down and click "show practical code" only costs you 0.05 BTC for 3 scripts (alt versions of with out comments so you don't need to waste time to delete the comments everytime you need to copy and paste and we also give you "with comments" too so its like about 6 scripts)

[Xenland]

I want to get my scripts shop tested more and post up more script examples so I lowered the cost to 0.01 Bitcoins for 3 scripts (6 scripts total) in one download. Heck if you don't need the scripts and want to donate just purchase the scripts and delete'em. All purchases help me collect data about using Bitcoin with websites, It shows that you want to support the project, and all data compiled together helps me produce a better library.

[Xenland]

SPOTLIGHT Looks like someone generously added the bitcoin_get_balance function
which i have added to the official library after review.

Thanks mate!

Question Xenland...  Is the data from the blockchain stored in SQL tables of any kind from this?  Or does it just directly interact with the bitcoind process via RPC commands?  Specifically, I am wondering if the Bitcoin transactions for each block would be available to query from a SQL database or not.

The BDK for php currently does not have any plans to integrate any type of databases of anykind until a non-db working BDk version has been tested and debugged. Then once officially stable, we look towards options of integration of databases and properly informing the user on some security implications that could be involved with using a db with the BDK. As of now the only storate there is for the BDK is receipts and that uses BTC address labels in json format (with sha256/checksums for data verification)

[Xenland]

Just pinging in for the lurkers, I will be resuming progress for the BDK website and library improvements in Aug 2013. Along with kicking the preorder page back into gear.

[Xenland]

While you wait for updates and further progress of the BDK library: I have started the scripts for sale back up again go to the following link and then scroll down and click "Show practical source" and you will be able to purchase some scripts for 0.01 BTC enjoy http://bitcoindevkit.com/examples/example1.php
