=== To produce a bitcoin application ===
|
|
|
|
This will be a web application, written in ruby (using appropriate technologies)
|
|
that can be run standalone, for a single user on their home machine, or on a web
|
|
server for many users.
|
|
|
|
Needs to be feature-complete by comparison to the official bitcoin client, with
|
|
the exception of block generation - we're not bothering with that aspect at all
|
|
right now. Also needs feature parity with mybitcoin.com
|
|
|
|
List:
|
|
- Multiple users
|
|
- Each user has a wallet
|
|
- Ability to receive payments
|
|
- Transaction history
|
|
- Ability to make payments, specify fee per-payment
|
|
- Able to take part in the global bitcoin network as a full member.
|
|
- Shopping cart integration
|
|
- On-the-fly currency comparison
|
|
- Payment forwarding
|
|
- API access via the JSON-RPC specification to control the account
|
|
|
|
Also needs *extra* features
|
|
|
|
- Only one block chain for all users in the cluster (faster startup time)
|
|
- (mybitcoin) : open-source, run it for yourself if you want to!
|
|
- britcoin, bitmarket, mtgox integration
|
|
- Address book
|
|
- Support for sending payments to email addresses - use webfinger to resolve
|
|
- Simpler REST API
