Bitcoin-VR experimental project to use Facebook's React-VR Library to visualize Bitcoin (Core) transactions in real time. This is an open source project and all contributions are welcome.

EDIT: Wow! We made the front page of HackerNews! Hi everyone!

Bitcoin-VR is built using ReactVR, which allows you to build VR apps using only javascript and declarative components. We use Blockchain.info's websocket API for the transaction stream, and Redux for state management.

We might refactor/write tests at a later date, but code quality is generally quite hacky. We also used this project to learn React/Redux so please help us find ways to improve!

We use Waffle to manage our open issues. As of Dec 2017 there are quite a lot of implementation/performance bugs due to the large number of bitcoin transactions.

ReactVR is a very new library! We've tried to document down some of its quirks along the way.

1. Learning ReactVR
2. Reading List for ReactVR Deployment
3. Deploying Bitcoin-VR on Github Pages

Due to ReactVR's deployment, we use two repositories to track Bitcoin VR.

1. Bitcoin-VR (this repository) holds the project's working tree. This .gitignores the vr/build folder that holds the compiled production build. Please issue all Pull Requests in this repo.

2. Production repo tracks the compiled production build that is hosted on Github pages.

For more information on this, please read the "Publishing Your Project" in the official ReactVR documentation.

This project was incubated in Fullstack Academy. Special thanks to Gabriel Lebec, Geoff Bass and Jeff Kandel for their help in this project!
