Tonight will be my first steps down the rabbit hole in Bitcoin application development. I have been programming (just hobby stuff) for 15 years. If you know of any great resources please let me know.

https://developer.bitcoin.com/ is the best place to start
replied 1773d
I'm off to a good start then!

What are you thinking of developing?
replied 1773d
What is something you would like to see?

Another I’d like is a paper wallet generator like cashaddress.org but with a choice of template to use or the option to upload your own, it just generates the QR codes and addresses
replied 1773d
I think that's probably a little easier. I'll start with that and then move to the other one. Thanks for letting me know it helps to have a goal to aim for that's not a 2 year project.
replied 1773d
Cool, thanks, it should be pretty easy as everything is open source and on github too, the one I shared is a fork of bitaddress.org too so maybe start there, good luck!

It may be this weekend before I start writing any code but will def look through github over the next couple days and see what's going on.

But also the resulting PDF file places the images, like 3 to a page as it does now, in the exact middle of the page, so a user can print double sided. I do it now but extra work...

A wallet app or even just a website that could be run air-gapped that could convert whatever type of seed phrase or priv. key you had into others, and into pub. keys and addresses too
replied 1773d
For example Electrum/ElectronCash uses a different word list for their seeds than most HD wallets, you can convert/export your priv. key, but Bitcoin.com wallet can only import seeds

There’s a couple websites out there already that do some of this, but they are confusing and not clear what versions work where and what you should even be using, if that makes sense

Can you post a url for some I'd like to take a look to get a better understanding. But thank you! It's a nice starting point.
replied 1773d
This is the main one I’ve seen and used over the years, but confusing like I said. It’s linked off the wiki pages I believe https://iancoleman.io/bip39/
replied 1773d
Thank you. Definitely a lot going on there but I will see what I can do and how to simplify a user experience. No guarantees :) but it is a great starting point for learning.
replied 1773d
To be honest not sure. Right now I'm just looking at what's possible and what are the road blocks that might come up. Probably should start with a simple wallet (not for consumers)

CashDev discord is my go to for questions / assistance - from Bitcoin specific to general programming (though obviously BCH related).

I dont see many content creators out there on developing but from what I've seen the tools are all there for some great projects. I think the community needs to really change this...
