How to make a webservice wallet?

[czzarr]

Hi,

I want to make an open-source html5/js wallet like blockchain.info's or coinpunk. I'm looking for pointers as to exactly where to start and what it really means to make a wallet.
I've done a few searches but the search engine is really bad and I haven't found good results.

I know there are already some that exist, but I want to do it as a challenge.

This is one of those situations where the answer almost has to be "if you have to ask, don't".

There are basically two types of online wallets. Those that store an encrypted version of your wallet (like blockchain.info) and those that store your private keys directly (like coinbase.com).

Both types require an enormous level of trust in the operators (the latter more so, but not by as large a margin as some believe).

If you want to make an online wallet purely as an intellectual / programming exercise, that would be one way to get started with bitcoin development.

Oh nice good idea. You don't even know where to start and you want to build another blockchain.info

I think it is better for all of us if you will learn first, than start doing something and show what are your skills, and then if you don't know something you should try to ask.

Why do you need/want to make a new wallet? There's enough wallets that do work well.

and to make another one working well you need more skills asking here how to do it ... seems like not pro

and developing a wallet needs a PRO or ! learn !

Thanks for the snarky comments, very encouraging. Everyone has to start somewhere.

Yes! But nobody starts from webservice wallet. This is like big deal. And you cannot messed it up a code for service like this
you must know what you re doing!

I am not telling you to stop.
I am telling to be serious!


good luck
!
