BitcartCC is a lightweight solution for everything in cryptocurrency sphere, now supporting Bitcoin Cash via well-known and feature-rich Electron Cash wallet.

It is free, self-hosted and fully opensource, we are seeking for new ideas!

How it works? It utilizes hidden features of Electrum and Electron Cash-by using it directly from python.

That means, it is balanced between being secure and light.

It is not a full node, but uses SPV verifying, connecting to a lot of decentralized servers, which is almost the same.

The system requirements are the minimal: 4 GB or less disk for our automatic docker installation, and 700 or less MB RAM, depending on the features you have chosen.

We have easy installation methods:

Via telegram bot(@bitcartinstallerbot), GUI and console applications.

Via lunanode easy web installer.

In console on the server.

It is easily redeployable, which is achieved via dockerization.

Multiple wallets loading & handling, auto-restoring on the fly, all commands feature set supported plus some additional custom commands.

At it's core, it is a wrapper around Electron Cash, providing backward-compatible API.

You can use BitcartCC no matter what technical skills you have and no matter what you want to do, it is good for:

Developers
Users interested in learning Bitcoin Cash
Merchants

Developers

There is Python SDK(more SDK's will come as people request it), allowing to create any apps-from telegram bots with deposit facility to something like block explorer.

The SDK is fully documented and has examples of usage:

https://sdk.bitcartcc.com (see API reference for examples)

https://github.com/MrNaif2018/bitcart-sdk/tree/master/examples

There is atomic tipbot created to show how easy it is to utilize multiple coins:

@bitcart_atomic_tipbot on telegram

Full explanation & source code:

https://github.com/MrNaif2018/bitcart-sdk/blob/master/examples/atomic_tipbot/README.md

https://github.com/MrNaif2018/bitcart-sdk/blob/master/examples/atomic_tipbot/bot.py

Some SDK examples:

from bitcart import BTC, BCH # and anything else
btc = BTC(xpub="x/y/x pub/prv or electrum seed")
bch = BCH(xpub="x/y/z pub/prv or electron cash seed")
btc.help() # all commands
bch.balance() # dictionary with confirmed, unconfirmed keys, for some coins also has lightning
btc.pay_to("address", amount)
bch.pay_to_many((address1, amount1),(address2,amount2))
btc.addrequest(amount) # get address and create payment request
bch.get_tx("tx_hash") # -> some tx info

All methods work the same way in each coin.

You can dynamically configure fee of the transactions by creating a custom function:

def fee_func(size, default_fee):
    if size >= 500:
        return default_fee
    else:
        return default_fee / 4
bch.pay_to("address", amount, fee=fee_func)

Also, we have a powerful events system, which can be used, for example, to track all incoming payments on your wallet and do some post processing(or telegram notifications for each your new payment!)

@bch.on("new_payment")
def handle(event, address, status, status_str):
    # handle new payments

You can use one handler for multiple events:

@bch.on(["new_transaction","new_block"])

You can register one handler on multiple coins:

@btc.on("new_payment")
@bch.on("new_payment")
def handle ....
...

You can receive those updates via two built-in ways - polling or web hooks(inspired by telegram bot API).

Switching back and forth is a matter of one command!

bch.poll_updates() starts polling

bch.start_webhook() starts web hook.

And of course everything is customizable, users can trigger handlers by passing updates directly:

bch.process_updates(list_of_updates)

The SDK also has type hints for nice IDE autocompletion.

We also have CLI app for using daemon in your console:
