    It's definitely possible to pass this cost on to the buyer, I would personally start by getting the cardano-wallet stack running. If you're familiar with docker/docker-compose this is quite easy: https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-wallet/blob/master/docker-compose.yml

  • As a developer, how is your experience eith cardano so far?
    1 project | /r/cardano | 29 Oct 2021
    It's not so bad. I wrote an IRC tipping bot for Cardano, was thinking it's gonna be extremely complicated, because I don't know any haskell, but it was actually pretty easy. Low level tools like cardano-cli and cardano-wallet allows you to build pretty much anything around them and all you need is to parse JSON and process HTTP requests, but it has its catches - for e-commerce I think biggest issue right now is inability to generate "unlimited" amount of receiving addresses via cardano-wallet - https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-wallet/issues/2921 it could be worked out by using transaction metadata, but then that's something that most wallets doesn't support right now.

  • Is there a Cardano API to transfer ADA from one wallet to another using a backend server?
    1 project | /r/CardanoDevelopers | 14 Sep 2021
    I've looked at cardano-wallet but I think it's for only making transactions that are made on your server?(sorry if this isn't correct). Is there a service where they can take the address of one wallet and send to another wallet that wasn't made on your server? Or is that what the new smart contract roll outs are for? Thanks
