As a Javascript developer and I want to build on Monero, but as of right now it doesnt seem like the available software is maintained enough for me to build on it. The last commit i see on github was 3 months ago and theres problems with it today. It seems due to IPV4/6 address handling, NodeJS >17 is breaking monero-javascript. Its been a week since the issue was discovered. Can someone fix this?

Hello all, long time lurker, developer, designer, and huge supporter of Monero here! So much so, for the past few months I have been developing a point of sale desktop app for accepting in person payments of Monero at your place of business. What I have developed is an Electron JS native desktop app that uses the MoneroJS library to create a view only wallet from an existing wallet and monitor incoming transactions when told to do so (ie. at checkout and in wallet). Think of it like an extension of the official GUI wallet's Merchant mode. Further, the app allows you to store the transactions for records keeping and even allows you to print a receipt out for your patron at checkout if you have a USB thermal printer. Fancy, eh!?!

Someone just needs to create a browser plugin which communicates with a local wallet instance (e.g. monero-wallet-rpc) using a library like monero-javascript.

This should do what you want in nodejs: https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-javascript

I tried to connect to a bunch of nodes (for instance, node.moneroworld.com:18089 and node-1.sethsimmons.me:18089), using the sample codes provided in the github page here (https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-javascript).

I'm the author of the node.js library for Monero. Can I offer advice?

Can't say for this project, but monero-javascript can be used for web projects and is thread safe.

If anyone is using my monero Python module for output recognition, please upgrade immediately to version 1.0.2. It's available on PyPI and, of course, on Github.

More like monero-wallet-rpc and a little Python, using this library for example.

I have a bot that I’ve written in python and I would like to extend it to watch a monero node, which I am running locally, for transactions using a private view key and then perform an action if a transaction occurs. I’ve looked through both the documentation and the sources for monero-python and I just can’t seem to figure out how to get it to use an existing viewkey. I can connect to my node and interact with the blockchain. I see how I can generate a new wallet and get its view key, but I just don’t see how I go about loading a view key so that I can use it to verify transactions using the viewkey I already have. Does anybody know how I would go about doing this? I would even settle for information about how to do this just with the json_rpc from the daemon, if that’s the best information someone knows (yes, I’ve read the docs, I’m clearly just looking right past the answer). I have read how to use `monero-wallet-cl` with `--generate-from-view-key`, but I’m hoping there’s a way for my bot to do this directly. Thanks for the help.

If so, you'll want to use monero-python

If you know a transaction that was made with (or to) the wallet (like the withdrawal tx from an exchange), you can check the transaction pubkey against the seed you are checking to get an immediate result. You should be able to re-purpose monero-python for that.
