JavaScript Bitmessage library for both browserify and node. JavaScript Bitmessage library for both browserify and node. The goal of this project is to implement Bitmessage protocol v3 for both platforms at the maximum possible level (we still can't create TCP connections or listen for incoming connections in the Browser but Proof of work and crypto is fully doable).
## References
* [Project wiki](https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Main_Page)
* [Protocol specification](https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Protocol_specification)
* [Whitepaper](https://bitmessage.org/bitmessage.pdf)
## Implementation details
With the help of browserify `bitmessage` provides different implementations for Browser and Node.js with the same API. Because WebCryptoAPI defines asynchronous promise-driven API, implementation for Node needs to use promises too.
* Use Node.js crypto module/library bindings where possible
* Use WebCryptoAPI where possible
* Promise-driven API

## Usage ## Usage
```js ```js
var bitmessage = require("bitmessage"); var Address = require("bitmessage").Address;
Address.getRandom().then(function(addr) {
Address.encode(addr).then(function(str) {
console.log("New random Bitmessage address:", str);
console.log("Private keys and parameters:", addr);
});
});
``` ```
