BitCard Backend

Bitcard enables Coinbase users to instantly use their bitcoins to purchase items on non-Bitcoin websites.

This repository contains the backend code currently running at https://bitcard-backend.herokuapp.com

Winner of the Capital One HackMIT 2016 prize for best use of their Nessie API. Also check out our Devpost Submission.

How it works

  1. When initializing,
    1. Initializes OAuth2.0 Login to Coinbase
    2. Provides customer Info to Capital One's Nessie API
  2. When making a purchase,
    1. Instantly sends a specified amount of Bitcoin from your Coinbase account to ours
    2. Provides a virtual VISA card # on demand, loaded with the specified amount of BTC in USD

How to develop

  1. Fork this repository
  2. npm install
  3. Enhance it!
  4. Submit a pull request

Note that all transactions will NOT generate a usable card number and instead will be considered as donations. Thank you!
