bitcoin-agaw v0.0.1

bitcoin-agaw

JS module for bitcoin address generation and watching (agaw)

• Can be used by server or client

step 1

• The xPubkey of your wallet must be passed in to the constructor of bitcoin-agaw

step 2

• Whenever your code needs a fresh bitcoin address, you can call the generate method, and a new address will be returned
  • The generate method must receive an integer greater than 0. This integer will be used to derive a new key pair, which is then used to generate a new address.
  • If you are a merchant expecting to receive payments from customers, you should be storing this address along with the userId (or some other identifier) of the expected customer.
  • You must keep track of which integers you have used to generate your addresses.
    • It may make sense to store this in your DB somewhere
      • (e.g. increment the integer by one everytime you call generate())
