# coined

**coined** is a high-level wrapper around [BCoin][bcoin], making it easy to
send transactions and deal with wallets/accounts. Some of the original code was
based on Fedor Indutny's [BThread][bthread].

## Install

``` bash
$ npm install coined
```

## Usage

The primary feature of Coined is a wallet similar to the way bitcoin-qt handles
wallets (a collection of accounts, stored by label).

```js
var coined = require('coined');
var utils = coined.utils;
var bcoin = coined.bcoin;
var bn = coined.bn;

var coin = coined({
// DB type, can be `tiny` or `leveldown`.
db: {
type: 'tiny',
path: process.env.HOME + '/.my-app/db'
},
wallet: process.env.HOME + '/.my-app/wallet.json'
});

// Add a key+pair/account to our wallet, under the label "main".
coin.addAccount({ label: 'main' });

// Send
coin.on('balance', function() {
if (coin._sentIt) return;

var address = '1Lzcrow4haAm6j4vyKhMeFQdHcaE1VbjTc';
var amount = 100000; // satoshis!

// `coin.balance()` will tell you the *entire* cumulative
// balance of every account in your wallet.
if (coin.balance().cmpn(amount) < 0) {
return;
}

return coin.sendTo(address, amount, function(err) {
if (err) {
console.error('sendTo failed');
console.error(err.message);
return;
}
coin._sentIt = true;
console.log('Sending of %s satoshis to %s succeeded.', amount, address);
});
});

// List our addresses and their associated labels.
console.log('My wallet\'s addresses:');
coin.accounts.forEach(function(account) {
console.log(account.label + ': ' + account.getAddress());
});
```

## Disclaimer and Note

It is *your own* responsibility to backup and keep your wallet/privkeys safe.
The coined developer(s) will not be responsible if your coins are lost,
deleted, or stolen.

Coined automatically makes a backup of your wallet every time you write to it.
Keep this in mind when encrypting it.
