BitCash

Bitcoin Cash made easy

BitCash PyPi version Test status Deploy docs Code Coverage Python Versions MIT license CodeFactor

Forked from Ofek's awesome Bit library.

BitCash is so easy to use, in fact, you can do this:

>>> from bitcash import Key
>>>
>>> k = Key()
>>> k.address
'bitcoincash:qp0hamw9rpyllkmvd8047w9em3yt9fytsunyhutucx'
>>>
>>> k.get_balance('usd')
'2'
>>>
>>> # Let's donate a dollar to CoinSpice.io
>>> outputs = [
>>>     ('bitcoincash:qz69e5y8yrtujhsyht7q9xq5zhu4mrklmv0ap7tq5f', 1, 'usd'),
>>>     # you can add more recipients here
>>> ]
>>>
>>> k.send(outputs)
'6aea7b1c687d976644a430a87e34c93a8a7fd52d77c30e9cc247fc8228b749ff'

Done. Here is the transaction: https://explorer.bitcoin.com/bch/tx/6aea7b1c687d976644a430a87e34c93a8a7fd52d77c30e9cc247fc8228b749ff
