altcoin plugin

Hello and thanks for your interest in the plugin.

There should definitely be a way to make your coin work with the wallets plugin. The modular architecture of the plugin lets you develop “coin adapters” for that purpose. In fact the next release will include instructions that will let you do it yourself.

Coin adapters currently fall into two main categories:
– Adapters that talk directly to a wallet daemon via an RPC API. If your coin is a simple fork of Bitcoin with not too many changes in the RPC API, then it will be very easy to modify one of the existing adapters.
– Adapters that talk to a cloud wallet service. These are more friendly to shop owners and end-users because the wallet is a service rather than something that you need to set up on a server yourself.

An RPC adapter should be easy to do, and I will get right to it after the next release of wallets, which involves some changes in the adapter implementations. But know that shop owners have a hard time setting up wallet daemons on servers. You might be more interested in a cloud wallet solution.

Is your coin listed in any major exchange, such as bittrex poloniex or yobit? I’m asking because eventually there will have to be coin adapters for all of these services which will also address your needs among other things.

Your request is in the backlog, so expect an adapter talking directly to your wallet soonish (right after the upcoming release). If you’re more interested in cloud wallets, let me know which online service offers wallets to your coin and I’ll have a look at their API.

Looking forward to hearing from you about this.

regards,
Alex

Update: I am having issues with building the Wyvern wallet on Linux. This is why I haven’t implemented an adapter yet.

I will try again in a Windows VM and will contact you directly if I fail.
