This is a work in progress. It is not ready for release and I don't advise using it yet. It's future is also uncertain at this time.
The bitcoinj-sv library is a Java implementation of the Bitcoin SV protocol. This library is a fork of Mike Hearn's original bitcoinj library aimed at supporting Bitcoin SV.
It allows maintaining a wallet and sending/receiving transactions without needing a full blockchain node.
- Java 8
- Maven 3+ - for building the project
- Google Protocol Buffers - for use with serialization and hardware communications
To get started, it is best to have the latest JDK and Maven installed. The HEAD of the master
branch contains the latest release and the dev
branch contains development code.
To perform a full build use
mvn clean package
The outputs are under the target
directory.
Alternatively, just import the project using your IDE. IntelliJ has Maven integration built-in and has a free Community Edition. Simply use File | Import Project
and locate the pom.xml
in the root of the cloned project source tree.
These are found in the examples
module.
Contributions to bitcoinj-sv are welcome and encouraged.
