$10,000 USD bounty for a fork of the Bitcoin.com wallet to support Bitcoin Cash

[taras]

In the examples shown, it has support for creating a new BCC wallet and working with BCC transactions.

But what about existing BTC wallets? Now that the fork is done, would the procedure be to import from the backup 12 word phrase but with BCC set to get the duplicated funds on the BCC chain? Could this be automated in the UI somehow?

yes, you can manipulate BCC and BTC from same application, migration is not supported but yes, you can use import/export

Sidenote: I'd suggest a different icon to differentiate BTC and BCC wallets in app.

its only alpha and have no skin yet.

Taras, amazing work! I can't wait to see this come to life in the app, thanks for all the hard work and dedication.

Thank you, Brope.
It is very important for me to feel support, especially after 4 days and nights of sleepless work on the project

Hi Taras,

Nice work! Can you clarify how you handled the BCC slider and signing with Bitcore-lib?

I'd like to check it against what I think should be happening before I release source code.

Cheers

Short status update,
I have added Bitcoin Cash to frontend, saves to backend.
In front ToDo:
- add SIGHASH_FORKID to outgoing transactions
- configure own insight-api , right now I am connecting to http://blockdozer.com/insight

p.s. Screenshots attached, I am not used 3 states for BCC as i hope Bitcoin Cash will have its own test network.

I would suggest that the "Bitcoin Cash" toggle be changed to select a network with a selection list of options (use "Wallet key" as a guide). The default value should be "Bitcoin" but the list should include both "Bitcoin" and "Bitcoin Cash". This creates a more natural UX and allows for someone to easily extend the app to add new coins

taras - I am a bitpay employee, let me know how I can help (I'm personally interested in this work, not speaking for the company); contact me at andy at bitpay dot com.

Good advice, thanks.

This will also come handy when November split occurs. Then we will have 3 types of Bitcoin lol

congratulations

I'm guessing SIGHASH_FORKID to outgoing transactions in the bitcore library, and create the new network object. It's still outgoing to the same port number so Bitcoin Cash nodes running as a real fork will pick it up. If there was a reasonably quick and easy way to query the node for its services, i.e. NODE_BITCOIN_CASH, that would be nice. It's almost never that easy though.

See for instance https://github.com/Bitcoin-ABC/bitcoin-abc/issues/25

As far as I can tell, the client bans connections from nodes that it finds are incompatible, it broadcasts and queries to the same port number as Bitcoin, and bitcore-lib is modified for the new signature hash bits. Aside from UI changes and making it easier and more intuitive. Has anyone actually implemented this properly and tested it? Taras? Are there any NODE_BITCOIN_CASH advertisements on testnet?

This is frustrating. I think we should reach out to the Bitcoin ABC developers.

Bakri, there's no bounty yet because there's no fork of the Bitcoin Wallet yet that works as specified with Bitcoin Cash.

Thats true. And thats why I have I am running 2 bws instances, one is jailed to local bitcoin-abc node in p2p bitcoin protocol. I know that there a lot of surprises in front of new abc protocol and thats why I am marked as only alpha .

This is frustrating. I think we should reach out to the Bitcoin ABC developers.

I am working closely with ABC developers in slack chat.


you can check running wallet client + 2 nodes in https://coinnode.net/

Bakri, there's no bounty yet because there's no fork of the Bitcoin Wallet yet that works as specified with Bitcoin Cash.

p.s. But I will check it again, right now I am checking multisig and then will check about flag in P2P

Any news ,on the wallet ?

[sayurichick]

yo, found an issue with the test build on coinnode.

when you create a BCC wallet, and scan the QR code. It's recognized as a BTC address in my wallet.

also getting a weird 'miminum amount is at least 0.03 bcc' error in coinomi at least.

Was able to send myself a $0.01 transaction earlier to a different BCC address.

Hello,
For simpler testing i have created testnet faucet https://you-can-start-today.com/
