BitcartCC is an opensource self-hosted cryptocurrency solution for merchants and developers. We want to build a modern platform with no legacy code but strong compatibility policy where community choices impact the decisions done.

Project description

Merchants

If you are a merchant, BitcartCC provides a ready Merchants API for integrating into custom sites or complex systems, full admin panel for managing wallets, stores, products, invoices or something more complex and a checkout page, and a lightweight store template which can be used in POS terminals for example or for merchants without any ready website.

The links provided are our demo instance, but the main feature is that all merchants are encouraged to run BitcartCC instances on their own servers to be fully independent. Latest minimal requirements are 1 gb ram (with swap enabled) or 2 gb ram and around 20 gb disk. This is using a special technology for verification which makes it light and secure.
BitcartCC can be hosted on amd64, arm32 and arm64 machines (like a raspberry pi)

Developers

For developers we provide a ready python SDK which can be used not only for receiving payments, but also for sending payments or getting some information from the blockchain. From any language it is possible to access our JSON-RPC 2.0 API.

The app is deployed in docker containers where users can install only the needed components

And there is a lot more to that, check out https://bitcartcc.com and https://docs.bitcartcc.com

How can I contribute?

You can contribute to BitcartCC in various ways. Any help is valuable: testing it out, finding and reporting bugs, requesting new features or implementing them.

All contributors will be mentored so that they will understand how the project works

If you want to contribute to project in terms of pull request, here's the full list of issues you can try tacking

Our project has many languages involved: python, docker, vue, bash, golang, js, yaml, markdown and more. So you can learn a lot of new things by contributing!

Issues marked with good-first-issue label should be good ones to start with the project, issues with help-wanted label are usually more complex and require at least basic understanding of the parts involved.

But don't worry! You can always ask questions in our github or communities

Happy hacking 🚀

Bitcart is a project to simplify cryptocurrencies integration.
It's target is to be light, provide simple APIs, and some out-of-box nice templates.
It is a multi-language project.
The used languages are Python(asyncio, tests, PyPi library and more), HTML, CSS, Node.js(Vue(with Vuetify framework)), and even a bit of Go(for CLI command). Also such things as docker and docker-compose are used.
Even if you don't know about cryptocurrencies you can learn a lot from that project and help us.

How to get started

Bitcart consists of 6 repositories(yes, six!). Parts of it are split between those repositories to simplify work.
For example, if you're a node developer, repos of interests would be bitcart-frontend and bitcart-admin.
If you are a python developer, repos of interest would be bitcart(main one), bitcart-sdk. If you like docker, repo of interested would be bitcart-docker, if you would like to write some docs, repo of interest would be bitcart-docs.

To get started, take a look at Hacktoberfest introduction issue.
It has all the necessary information to get started.
You can try this project out and submit bugs, fix issues labeled with hacktoberfest or open new ones.
Any help is welcome!
If you need help understanding the project open the issue on github or ask in our Telegram group.
Happy coding everyone!
