TumbleBit implementation in .NET Core.
##Check out the in-depth user guide on the Wiki
##Resources Cross-platform library, based on "TumbleBit: An Untrusted Bitcoin-Compatible Anonymous Payment Hub". Another implementation can be found on the official repository of TumbleBit. An "easy" to understand explanation of the protocol has been presented by Ethan Heilman and Leen Al Shenibr at Scaling Bitcoin Milan.
##Requirements This implementation is compatible with .NETCore 1.1 (as of today counter intuitively named dotnet-dev-1.0.0-preview2.1-003177) and works on Windows, Linux, Mac or Docker.
You need to install dotnet core on your system as instructed on .NET Core installation guide.
You will also need a synchronized Bitcoin Full node (pruned nodes also work), with the RPC server running.
##Project status The current version has an implementation of:
- Puzzle Solver Algorithm
- Puzzle Promise Algorithm
- TumbleBit: Classic Tumbler Mode
- TOR integration for Tumbler server and client
- Localhost website as user interface for Tumbler server and Tumbler Client.
- TumbleBit: Uni-directional Paymen Hub Mode
We recommend that you use Visual Studio Code, which is free IDE supporting C# development and testing.
We recommend that you use Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 (free) for building and running the tests. You can of course use Visual use command line or Visual Studio Code as well.
