Tech-Talk with Octal – Bitcoin App Development

Hello, readers, here we have our new episode of Tech-Talk with Octal. I am Priyank Sharma, Project Manager at Octal IT Solution, and I’ll be discussing Bitcoin App Development. Top cryptocurrency Apps such as Blockchain, Mycelium, and Breadwallet etc. are currently dominating the market, and your app could be next one. How Let’s find out.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is the virtual cryptocurrency that is created electronically. They are not printed, unlike the dollar or rupees, and are created by the people over the web.

What is Bitcoin App Development?

Well, to understand the above concept, let me tell you a real-life example. Let’s assume that the main branch of the Bank of America is located in Charlotte, North Carolina. It opened several sub-branches all across the country in different states. Now you can open an account in any of the branches, can send, withdraw and add money to the account. You can pay your bills or can do shopping from that account, precisely you have the right to manage it in the way, you want.

Now let’s implement the same concept for Bitcoin. When you create the Bitcoin App, you create the main route; the one that connects with all the Bitcoins wallets. The Bitcoin wallets allow you to sell, receive, transfer and store the bitcoins as the user demands. One of the major concerns that need to be addressed here is that what is the strategy of adding the Bitcoin into the routing app?

Now taking the above example again, Bank of America can ask for some money from the Federal Research Bank and can use that for making the money circulated in the other branches. Now the same goes for the main route app. It purchases bitcoins from the other sources and can make them availed to the other Bitcoin Wallets. Well, the concept is very clear and the precise idea about the app development can be understood by the above example.

How does Bitcoin Mobile App work?

Since you have understood the basic concept of the Bitcoin App Development, here is the way by which it can be used.

The Bitcoin App Development is based on BlockChain API and works on it. Someone who owns the Bitcoin App has the account details displayed on the app. Now when someone requests to open the Bitcoin wallets, the account is opened by the main route and the access is provided to that particular user.

How to deposit the amount in the Application wallet?

It can be done in three ways:

1. Payment Gateway
2. Through the Bank Account
3. Through Credit/Debit card

You can use any of the payment ways to transfer a particular amount into the wallet. The Payment is transferred to the main route, and from there the account status is displayed on your Application wallet.

The wallet is divided into two segments:

• Bitcoin Wallet
• Application Wallet

The Bitcoin wallet stores your bitcoin that you sell, receive or purchase. The Application wallet displays relevant information about your transaction, the address of the buyer and the amount in local currency (USD for instance). It allows converting them into the BTC to use it or manage it for further purposes.

With the help of a Bitcoin wallet, you can send, receive, transfer or convert your bitcoins into your native currency. Also, you can use the currency for paying your bills or for doing any other task. Precisely, you can use it for making money, for trading, etc. It is the basic fundamental that represents how a Bitcoin mobile app works and the way in which it can be used.

2. Now create the Bitcoin Wallet using the BlockChain API to transfer the bitcoins.

The transactions are private

Payment transaction made through Bitcoin is completely anonymous and private.

Here, the transaction can be identified with the help of the address on which the payment is sent, but the identity of the person cannot be determined, means to whom the payment is delivered is kept very confidential.

No Government Regulation

What if you are having a huge amount of currency and the government declares it as a total waste. Well, it may happen as the government can change the regulation on the currencies it creates and governs. In the case of Bitcoins, in case they are banned by your government, you can use them in the regions they are legal and can get them converted to cash, as and when required.
