Creacore

Infrastructure to build Creativecoin and blockchain-based applications for the next generation of financial technology.

Note: If you're looking for the Creacore Library please see: https://gitlab.com/creativechain/creacore-lib

Getting Started

Before you begin you'll need to have Node.js v8 installed. There are several options for installation. One method is to use nvm to easily switch between different versions, or download directly from Node.js.

npm install -g creacore

Spin up a full node and join the network:

npm install -g creacore
creacored

You can then view the Insight block explorer at the default location: http://localhost:3001/insight, and your configuration file will be found in your home directory at ~/.creacore.

Create a transaction:

var creacore = require('creacore');
var transaction = new creacore.Transaction();
var transaction.from(unspent).to(address, amount);
transaction.sign(privateKey);

This will generate files named creacore.js and creacore.min.js.

You can also use our pre-generated files, provided for each release along with a PGP signature by one of the project's maintainers. To get them, checkout a release commit (for example, https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore/commit/e33b6e3ba6a1e5830a079e02d949fce69ea33546 for v0.12.6).
