Does this use extended public keys?

yafujifide• 12 years ago

As best I can tell, it does not do any key management. No reference to terms like "Key" or "HierarchicalKey" at all. My guess is that you have to give it the addresses you own, and it detects if payment has been made to them. Since it does not use "HierarchicalKey", bitcore's term for BIP32 extended keys, it probably requires that you constantly refill the address pool so it doesn't run out. Or it reuses them.

edit: I also just realized it depends on "bitcoin". It may rely on a running bitcoin core full node to handle the private keys.

Based on the fact that it has a "Bitcoind RPC port" option, I think it is safe to say that it just relies on a running Bitcoin Core node.

That means it does not support deterministic keys. Users will need to be careful to back up their wallet.dat file on a periodic basis.

I'm the CEO of Slickage. This was released a few months ago and I'm personally sorry for the downtime of demo. I hope people like it!

Javascript as a language for handling serious amounts of money? I don't know...

better than COBOL

NodeJS is very stable. Since JavaScript is asynchronous by design, NodeJS's performance is excellent.

Stable, performant. Secure?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=309785.0 BitcoinTalk.org includes Baron in its security bounty program because it intends on using it within its own infrastructure. If you find a way to break it you can earn some serious money.
