Implement Bitcoin connector #1

Closed ts5746 closed 2 years ago

ts5746 commented 5 years ago

Add a bitcoin.js module to lib/blockchains implementing all the required function as per the lib/blockchains.js module, with a corresponding config section in config/blockchains.toml, to be able to use the Bitcoin blockchain for Whiteflag.

Open todo's after first review:

[x] promises cleanup
[x] current & next block count
[x] url for bitcoin node RPC from config file

ts5746 commented 5 years ago

Open todo's related to Bitcoin-specific tracking of account funds.

First attempt:

only checks first output
only checks the address of the first account
merges new UTXO with currently being tracked UTXO (if it exists)

Work-in-progress:

check if new bitcoins being given even meet the fee
make a separate function for this functionality

Completed major walk-through and clean-up. Compiled jsdoc for documentation review. The listener.js module and certain other too complex functions still need some refactoring.

ts5746 commented 2 years ago
