Bitcore Library

A pure and powerful JavaScript Bitcoin library.

Principles

CryptoRescue is a powerful new peer-to-peer platform for the next generation of financial technology. The decentralized nature of the CryptoRescue network allows for highly resilient CryptoRescue infrastructure, and the developer community needs reliable, open-source tools to implement CryptoRescue apps and services.

Get Started

npm install bitcore-lib-cpr

Documentation

The complete docs are hosted here: bitcore documentation. There's also a bitcore API reference available generated from the JSDocs of the project, where you'll find low-level details on each bitcore utility.

• Read the Developer Guide
• Read the API Reference

To get community assistance and ask for help with implementation questions, please use our community forums.

Examples

• Generate a random address
• Generate a address from a SHA256 hash
• Import an address via WIF
• Create a Transaction
• Sign a CryptoRescue message
• Verify a CryptoRescue message
• Create an OP RETURN transaction
• Create a 2-of-3 multisig P2SH address
• Spend from a 2-of-2 multisig P2SH address

Security

We're using Bitcore in production, as are many others, but please use common sense when doing anything related to finances! We take no responsibility for your implementation decisions.

If you find a security issue, please email [email protected].

Building the Browser Bundle

To build a bitcore-lib full bundle for the browser:

gulp browser

This will generate files named bitcore-lib-cpr.js and bitcore-lib-cpr.min.js.

You can also use our pre-generated files

Development & Tests

git clone https://github.com/cryptorescue-project/bitcore-lib-cpr
cd bitcore-lib-cpr
npm install

Run all the tests:

gulp test

You can also run just the Node.js tests with gulp test:node, just the browser tests with gulp test:browser or create a test coverage report (you can open coverage/lcov-report/index.html to visualize it) with gulp coverage.
