If you’re venturing into the exhilarating world of Bitcoin and Lightning applications, look no further! Bitcoin-S is a feature-rich toolkit designed specifically for crafting applications atop the JVM (Java Virtual Machine). This guide will walk you through the steps to set it up, add it to your library, and troubleshoot common issues. Let’s dive in!
Running Bitcoin-S
To run Bitcoin-S effectively, utilizing Docker is one of the easiest methods. Think of Docker as a pre-packaged box where everything you need is included. Instead of gathering all the components individually, you just need to launch the box, and voilà! Here’s how to do it:
APP_PASSWORD=topsecret docker-compose upThis command will kickstart a Docker environment that begins syncing the backend. You can then access the web frontend of your wallet at localhost:3002.
Getting Started (Non-Developers)
