#### TODOs for beta release

- [ ] Add more pytests

## Installation from Git repository

### Ubuntu, Debian, Windows

- Install `poetry` and run `bitcoin_safe`

```sh
git clone https://github.com/andreasgriffin/bitcoin-safe.git
cd bitcoin-safe
pip install poetry && poetry install && poetry run python -m bitcoin_safe
```

### Mac

- Run `bitcoin_safe`

git clone https://github.com/andreasgriffin/bitcoin-safe.git
cd bitcoin-safe
python3 -m pip install poetry && python3 -m poetry install && python3 -m poetry run python3 -m bitcoin_safe
```

- *Optional*: dependency `zbar`

```sh
xcode-select --install
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew install zbar
```

## Development

* Run the precommit manually for debugging

```shell
poetry run pre-commit run --all-files
```

#### Regtest docker environement with electrs and mempool

* install docker

```shell
# see https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
```

* setting up a regtest environment in docker + mempool instance

```shell
curl https://getnigiri.vulpem.com | sudo bash # see https://nigiri.vulpem.com/#install
sudo nigiri start
xdg-open http://localhost:5000/
```

* This creates
* esplora localhost:3000
electrs localhost:50000
* and a gui block explorer at http://localhost:5000
* Setup mempool instance

```shell
sudo apt install docker-compose
git clone https://github.com/ngutech21/nigiri-mempool.git

pushd nigiri-mempool
sudo docker-compose up -d
sleep 10
# this is needed because the database needs time to start up
sudo docker-compose up -d
popd
xdg-open http://localhost:8080/

# if the mempool is endlessly loading, then get the debug output with
sudo docker-compose logs -f mempool-api
```

* this opens a mempool at http://localhost:8080/

#### Control the Regtest environment

* get coins to an address

```shell
nigiri rpc generatetoaddress 1 bcrt1qgsnt3d4sny4w4zd5zl9x6jufc5rankqmgphyms9vz0ds73q4xfms655y4c # mine blocks

# or use the internal faucet
nigiri faucet bcrt1qgsnt3d4sny4w4zd5zl9x6jufc5rankqmgphyms9vz0ds73q4xfms655y4c 0.01
```
