Just to let you know, I am developing an open source Blockchain Indexer called RapidBase.
The reasons :
- Existing API provider are crap
- No API Provider support colored coins (Open Asset, except coinprism)
- No API Provider support Stealth Address (coming soon)
- They don't have nice REST interface
- They don't allow to make multi sig wallet easily
- When the sources are closed, innovation stays stuck at the API provider level
This work is experimental for now, so expect frequent breaking changes.
A nuget package for .NET, entirely integrated to NBitcoin is already out. (but not complete)
The nuget package will be compatible IOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Tablets in the future.
This will allow development of wallets on multiple plateform with a common source code, while mitigating privacy concern by allowing people to host their own rapidbase server if they want.
RapidBase is a JSON API on top of NBitcoin.Indexer and depends on Microsoft Azure.
