WalletServer

A Wallet server for Bismuth, powering light wallets.

Why?

A high perf wallet server, independant from a regular bismuth node.

The tech

• One process, a single thread, a single DB connection.
• Fully Async
• Tornado based

Candies

• Separate rotating logs, app_log and access_log
• Nice colored log console output
• Updateable with no node downtime

Current drawbacks

• not much doc (wip, see https://github.com/bismuthfoundation/WalletServer/tree/master/Doc )

Usage

See https://github.com/bismuthfoundation/WalletServer/tree/master/Demo

** IMPORTANT **

CURRENTLY BEING REWRITEN

It now lives in a directory of its own and has its own config.

Installation

• requires python 3.6+ (async/await)
• (Should not be needed anymore, kept for later check) Copy the files over your regular node directory (needs some libs and config files from bismuth core)
• install dependencies: pip3 install -r requirements.txt
• Make sure you don't use ram mempool: in config.txt, set mempool_ram_conf=False
• The Bismuth node has to be running
• run python3 wallet_server.py

Command line config

• --verbose : be more verbose
• --port : use an alternate port (default is 8150)

Connect to the wallet server

The current wallet uses a hardcoded port from config.
Atm, to connect to this server you have to manually edit your wallet.py file, and change the port:
Line 65, replace
port = config.port
by
port = 8150 # Wallet server

A workaround would be to run your bismuth node on an alternate port, and use default 5658 port as the wallet server port.
