Namecoin support for Bitcore
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2015 6:05 pm
I just finished work on getting Namecoin support for Bitpay's "Bitcore" Bitcoin JavaScript library[1].
The code can be found here:
https://github.com/brandonrobertz/bitcore-namecoin
You can run through the examples and also check out the unit tests for more code examples.
For those who don't know: Bitcore is a JS implementation of Bitcoin functionality. This module, bitcore-namecoin, extends much of Bitcore's functionality by patching a couple functions that otherwise hardcode Bitcoin P2SH/P2PKH style transactions. I am working with the developers to eliminate those limitations. With this, you can create name_new, name_firstupdate, and name_update transactions, offline, in node.js or the browser.
