Add bitcoin wallet support #523

Open wolffan opened 6 years ago

wolffan commented 6 years ago

What is the expected behavior? Like ERC20 wallets feature. I want to be able to add a btc wallet as part of my portfolio

Which version of Balance is affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of Balance?

People will definitely appreciate this in 1.0.

marking this as blocked until the refactor is done

jawiv commented 6 years ago

To echo others, when the code refactor is complete, I would love to see BTC/LTC/ZEC, but understand there's going to be a cutoff somewhere as its just not feasible to support addresses for every single digital asset at this stage...

Crypto-politics aside, adding support for some number of the upper echelon would be a welcome addition.

Or perhaps a framework that would allow the community to write plug and play address modules for whichever digital assets they choose to enable in-app? Kind of like packages within Atom...

@jawiv we'd love to, but every wallet is a different blockchain wich means a different service/node to run and has potentially the same amount of workforce as adding an exchange. So future coins will have to be evaluated. Thanks for the feedback :)
