Package Exports

cashaccounts

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (cashaccounts) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Cash Accounts javascript library

Human readable account names for Bitcoin Cash

Cashaccounts allow you to use aliases to send Bitcoin Cash and Tokens instead of having to type out or memorize things like bitcoincash:qp3wjpa3tjlj042z2wv7hahsldgwhwy0rq9sywjpyy. They look like Jonathan#100; The usernamed followed by the number (based on block height registration).

Installation

  npm i cashaccounts

Usage

The library will default to using the api.cashaccount.info lookup server, but if you run your own you can pass in the url as the first parameter. Note, registrations cost some satoshis to broadcast and the funds are subsidied by the node running the lookup server. This library contains methods for a trusted setup like the 3rd party cashaccount api, as well as methods for trustless setups for more advanced users who do only want to rely on the data from their own node.

  const cashAccountClass = require('cashaccounts');
  const cashAccounts = new cashAccountClass(url, nodeCredentials) // both optional

The url defaults to https://api.cashaccount.info. the nodeCredentials object looks like

{
  host: 'example.com', // or ip
  username: 'admin',
  password: 'password1',
  port: 1234,
  timeout: 3000
}
