Can we change from Bitcoin to An Altcoin? #21

Open swatchie-1 opened 5 years ago

swatchie-1 commented 5 years ago

Hi, if yes, can we know which settings to change? It says

(node:7211) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: {"result":null,"error":{"code":-5,"message":"Invalid Hilux address"},"id":"21ce350b-fd60-426b-bfc7-a340421bffe3"}

When running nodejs worker.js and npm test.

Appreciate any help we can get.

You need to look into https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib and see if it can work with different coins. Cashier-btc relies on this lib.

It seems to generate its own address using the sha256 hash function. Can't it just obtain a new address from the altcoin-cli command?

You can do it here: https://github.com/Overtorment/Cashier-BTC/blob/master/models/signer.js#L133

@Overtorment , I will be appreciated for instruction for coind daemon forked from bitcoin. Maybe on the example of first altcoin pull request we can understand how integrate others.
