Experimental repo for package structure of core joinmarket code, allowing easier plugging in to other projects.

Just some notes to start:

Intention is to create a package that can be installed and then used in other wallet code or similar.

Broad plan:

The current joinmarket/ directory in Joinmarket-Org/joinmarket/joinmarket is maintained, but renamed to joinmarket_core as a python package. There is an additional file btc.py which acts as an interface. By default it will access the current Bitcoin code as in Joinmarket-Org/joinmarket/bitcoin, but other interfaces can be added. So far, an interface using the Electrum library has been added and rudimentarily tested.

The idea of the workflow is:

pip install libnacl
#Either:
python setup.py install #from joinmarket_core
#Or:
pip install joinmarket_core
pip install secp256k1 #will probably only apply to full Joinmarket; other wallets have their own ECC bindings

then code can be written that uses the joinmarket_core package. Work on this for Electrum is in progress.

=====

Running the test python test_btc_interface.py currently requires either the Joinmarket bitcoin directory or the Electrum core library (electrum/lib) to be accessible on the path.

The structure of that interface (the contents of joinmarket_core/btc.py needs to be figured out).
