Crypto for the Crypto Throne!

I am coding a new bitoin wallet and as i am newbie to bitcoin coding i need help with installation or bitcoin server.

There are 3 types bitcore, bitcore-node and bitcoin-daemon.

which one is used to create your own bitcoin wallet server to create API and all other stuff to be used with my website?

I am confused because i don't know the difference between those so if there is anyone can help me with choosing the right thing for my purpose that will be very help full.

I need to install bitcoin server to attach with my website so users can generate wallet addresses and can make transactions.


For example, blockchain info doesn't have it's own bitcoin node (as i knew). It's connected to other nodes. But it have another way of technical issues.
But for your own API you need bitcore-node. Or maybe there some other ways (many of them)

You're going to want to partner up with a solid developer who can help you. Most people who embark on your journey, have large teams of people, such as Coinbase.  All this of course depends on your end goal and what you're trying to do. If you just want to generate addresses and such for your website, that's much easier.

Politics aside, bitcore is developed by bitpay and similar to bitcoind. Bitcore-node is for use with Node.js. Bitcoin-daemon (more referred to as bitcoind) is aligned with the bitcoin foundation.

Just writing some code
danda i need this for running my own btc wallet service.

bitcore = bitpay's bitcore.

So i must use bitcoin core? bitcoin daemon version?
It depends on what you need. Bitcore uses NodeJS so it may be good to use that if you plan on using NodeJS. It has additionally libraries for it that may add wallet support, but you will have to find them yourself.

Bitcoin Core has the wallet and node stuff build it. You can communicate with it through the JSON-RPC interface.

It all really depends on how you want to do it and which is most secure and convenient for you.

The traditional way is to run bitcoind and query it via RPC.

If you just want a bolt-on checkout module fast, you might want to look at cryptowoo.

By bitcore, do you mean Bitcoin Core or Bitpay's Bitcore?

Each one of those software are different and suit different needs. Bitcoin Core can be used as a wallet. AFAIK Bitpay's Bitcore cannot be used for a wallet.
