developer-portal VS cardano-wallet

You wanna develop dApps/run a stake pool? https://developers.cardano.org/

If you see broken links please open an issue in the repository, though perhaps IOHK's server (https://hydra.iohk.io) is just down in this instance.

Had heard there has been some improvement here https://developers.cardano.org/

Also, there's forum.cardano.org and developers.cardano.org where you can find other looking for help.

Another useful source is the Cardano Foundations https://docs.cardano.org/ and for the more technically minded the Cardano Developer Portal https://developers.cardano.org/

I'd start with the official developers portal at https://developers.cardano.org/

check: https://developers.cardano.org/

It’s easy to make a repo look very active. I guess they count commits, which is a terrible metric. Look at this PR in one of the Cardano repos: https://github.com/cardano-foundation/developer-portal/pull/471/commits

For getting started with Cardano specifically https://developers.cardano.org/ is a really good place to start.

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

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.

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
