Fractal Bitcoin #2154

Closed ambitious922 closed 3 months ago

ambitious922 commented 3 months ago

How can I use bitcoinjs-lib on Fractal Bitcoin? Or when is it going to be available?

junderw commented 3 months ago

Bitcoin is not fractal, and it can only be subdivided into 100 million parts known as satoshis.

I hope this answers your question.

@junderw @ambitious922 Fractal Bitcoin forked from bitcoin: https://github.com/fractal-bitcoin/fractal

Bitocinjs-lib is fully supported and can work well

However, I still recommend that you post related questions to Fractal's repo

Altcoins usually only pose problems in 2 cases.

  1. The coin supply cap is larger than 53 bits (the maximum integer value for JavaScript numbers)
  2. The address version bytes are variable length etc.

Litecoin has mweb scripts which use high segwit version numbers, but recent versions of this library support higher segwit versions with a warning.

This is untrue. bitcoinjs-lib does not support altcoins, and any problems that arise are 100% the responsibility of the implementor.

"bitcoinjs-lib works out of the box with most altcoins, but that is just a coincidence, it can break at any time without notice"
