libbitcoinlibbitcoin is a community of developers building the open source library, tools and implementation necesary for a free, independent and vibrant Bitcoin. In this way we are helping to build a better future. Values: privacy, scalability, integrity. See more info in
our docs.
Obelisk: scalable blockchain query infrastructureObelisk is a scalable blockchain query infrastructure. See the
setup guide. There is a public server available at obelisk.unsystem.net:8081 but I wouldn't use it for anything production (besides testing). Uses libbitcoin for asynchronous full node Bitcoin implementations on the backend that connect to a load balancer. The load balancer distributes blockchain requests among the workers on the backend.
sx command line utilities - Empower The Sysadmin With Bitcoin ToolsMy aim with this project is to provide a set of modular Bitcoin commandline utilities, that admin types can engage with Bitcoin functionality without having to write code. By chaining all these commands together in different ways, you can do offline transactions, maintain a wallet, work with deterministic keys, ...
It would be cool to see Bitcoin wallets written in bash script using these tools to handle the core functionality. I believe the more we give good tools to the community, the more we can decentralise development and increase access to the core technology for all types.
python-obeliskThis is a collaboration between Pablo Martin's ZMQ/Obelisk implementation, and
Robert Williamson's blockalchemy library with code from
ThomasV's Electrum. python-obelisk is a pure Python client-side implementation of the
Obelisk protocol. A pure Python library is great because it can be deployed easily without requiring dependencies. This allows code to be ported across many platforms such as the mobile phone with Kivy, desktops or any platform running Python.
sx wallet: ncurses terminal wallet
dat.wallet: pure Python tutorial wallet for Linux, Android, Mac, WindowsMe and Taylor Gerring (Hive wallet) coded this example wallet in 2 days in pure Python. It uses
python-obelisk and is meant to be be an example for other coders to understand how wallets work. We'll work slowly on more tutorials and docs. It uses kivy and has no dependencies, so can be used on the mobile phone.
This is great for wallet developers and GUI designers who want to create their own skin or special wallet with specific features. For example: wallets for traders, branded wallets for businesses and specific payment applications that use wallet functionality.
DarkWallet browser pluginThe beginnings of the DarkWallet project. We are focusing mainly on the underlying technology and how to create usable crypto products for the entrepreneurs of the future. This means a strong multi-discipline synthesis between designers, users and coders. See more of
our vision on the unSYSTEM wiki.
