Matrixbitcore

Infrastructure to build Matrixbit and blockchain-based applications for the next generation of financial technology.

Note: If you're looking for the Matrixbitcore Library please see: https://github.com/matrix-pay/matrixbitcore-lib

Getting Started

Before you begin you'll need to have Node.js v4+ installed. There are several options for installation. One method is to use nvm to easily switch between different versions, or download directly from Node.js.

npm install -g matrixbitcore

Spin up a full node and join the network:

npm install -g matrixbitcore
matrixbitcored

You can then view the Insight block explorer at the default location: http://localhost:3001/insight, and your configuration file will be found in your home directory at ~/.matrixbitcore.

Create a transaction:

var matrixbitcore = require('matrixbitcore');
var transaction = new matrixbitcore.Transaction();
var transaction.from(unspent).to(address, amount);
transaction.sign(privateKey);
