Cryptocurrency and asset support¶
Introduction¶
cryptoassets.core
supports different cryptocurrencies. We use SQLAlchemy to generate a set of database tables and model classes for each coin. Then this coin can be send and received using a backend which takes care of communicating with the underlying cryptocurrency network.
Bitcoin¶
Supported backends:
- bitcoind
- block.io
- blockchain.info
Bitcoin database implementation.
All amounts are stored in satoshis in integer fields.
Modify BitcoinTransaction.confirmation_count
global
to set the threshold when transcations are considered confirmed.
