How to use the btcr identifier driver? #11

Hi,

I am new to DID. I have built and run the docker, and what is the next? I am confused how to use the btcr driver. Is it a complete service that I can get my DID from from the driver as an end user, or is it a half-finished product for developers to make other Apps, like wallet, etc.. If there are any user pamphlets or developer guides, it would be a great help. Thx!

Hi, it is neither of them. It is fully functional; however, it requires configuring it properly, which might involve running a full Bitcoin node, dumping a private key in WIF format with sufficient balance, and so on, depending on how you would like to use it. A configuration example is given there. Those properties have corresponding ENV variables for Docker usage. You can check out the example requests. If you are new to DID scene, I would suggest starting out with other methods, such as SOV, WEB, since BTCR is quite complex and not maintained well. Finally, I agree that developer guides would help immensely; hopefully, we will revisit it at some point.
