Forked from Ofek's awesome Bit library: https://github.com/ofek/bit
Despite what it looks like, this is mostly a working library for Bitcoin Cash! Try to ignore the out of date bits on the README which referred to Bitcoin and not Bitcoin Cash.
What needs fixing
----------------
- This README.
- Dynamic fees.
- The test cases...
- Rates (so 'usd', 'jpy', etc work as they do in bit)
**BitCash is so easy to use, in fact, you can do this:**
.. code-block:: python
>>> from bitcash import Key
>>>
>>> my_key = Key(...)
>>> my_key.get_balance('usd')
'12.51'
>>>
>>> # Let's donate!
>>> outputs = [
>>> # Wikileaks
>>> ('1HB5XMLmzFVj8ALj6mfBsbifRoD4miY36v', 0.0035, 'bch'),
>>> # Internet Archive
>>> ('1Archive1n2C579dMsAu3iC6tWzuQJz8dN', 190, 'jpy'),
>>> # The Pirate Bay
>>> ('129TQVAroeehD9fZpzK51NdZGQT4TqifbG', 3, 'eur'),
>>> # xkcd
>>> ('14Tr4HaKkKuC1Lmpr2YMAuYVZRWqAdRTcr', 2.5, 'cad')
>>> ]
>>>
>>> my_key.send(outputs)
'9f59f5c6757ec46fdc7440acbeb3920e614c8d1d247ac174eb6781b832710c1c'
Here is the transaction `<https://blockchain.info/tx/9f59f5c6757ec46fdc7440acbeb3920e614c8d1d247ac174eb6781b832710c1c>`_.
Features
--------
- Python's fastest available implementation (100x faster than closest library)
- Seamless integration with existing server setups
- Supports keys in cold storage
- Fully supports 25 different currencies
- First class support for storing data in the blockchain
- Deterministic signatures via RFC 6979
- Access to the blockchain (and testnet chain) through multiple APIs for redundancy
- Exchange rate API, with optional caching
- Optimal transaction fee API, with optional caching
- Compressed public keys by default
- Multiple representations of private keys; WIF, PEM, DER, etc.
- Standard P2PKH transactions
If you are intrigued, continue reading. If not, continue all the same!
Installation
------------
BitCash is distributed on `PyPI`_ as a universal wheel and is available on Linux/macOS
and Windows and supports Python 3.5+ and PyPy3.5-v5.7.1+. ``pip`` >= 8.1.2 is required.
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install bitcash # pip3 if pip is Python 2 on your system.
Documentation
-------------
Docs are hosted by Github Pages and are automatically built and published
by Travis after every successful commit to BitCash's ``master`` branch.
Credits
-------
- `ofek`_ for the original bit codebase.
- `bjarnemagnussen`_ for his segwit code for the necessary BIP-143 support.
