Small tasks to do to understand how the crypto backend works.

  1. Set up developer account on blockcypher
  2. Download crypto-server repo and install all modules https://github.com/timothyylim/crypto-server
  3. rename .env-sample to .env and add your own developer token from blockcypher

Try the following

  1. Create a wallet (read and understand setup.js, run setup.js by node setup.js)
  2. Derive an address
  3. Get the balance of the addresses
  4. Top up the address with testnet coins
  5. Send testnet coins between the addresses

I've made functions for all these tasks just make sure you understand how to run them. I recommend testing them in index.js and printing the result to make sure they work. Ignore the server for now.
