Dear All, @brainstorrrm
I have been thinking over time that wix could be utilised to develop a blockchain, this has many uses but my understanding of how to get one to work on wix is limited and takes time to develop.
I have come across this link: http://www.darrenbeck.co.uk/blockchain/nodejs/nodejscrypto/
and it seems as if wix could provide a good platform for this, there are other pieces i will need to add overtime but it would be good to know if the wix platform can manage a blockchain and enable vistors to websites to create their own wallets and send and receive messages from the blockchain.
I am not looking at this to create a cryptocurrency, I am looking to use this as a transparent ledger so individuals can trace where an item has come from, where it has been and who has received it.
I am aware that this may be a big ask but this tech is changing how the world works and we should see if we can utilise it also.
I look forward to hearing from anyone that can provide a demostration or working code for the above link on wix.
Best wishes,
Si

Might be one for the future, however it might not be an available option as of right now unless somebody else can provide a solution for you.
You did ask this in 2018 and there was no answer, however two years into the future and something might have changed

Although Wix might let you do something like this locally on your own setup, however it would be interesting to see if Wix let you use something like this on their own servers.
With regards to the cryptocurrency mention, Wix say that they don’t accept it currently.

However, there was talk in 2018 of Wix setting up to allow PumaPay as a payment option, so it will also be interesting to see where that has progressed to as well or if that has been put on hold as this would use blockchain too.

Si,
Read the NodeJS implementation demo you suggested and reviewed the code.
Reading the comments suggests that there are a few minor issues that should be addressed easily; any coder should be able implement this kind of homebrew distributed blockchain ledger with Wix.
I would start by “skipping” the http server and running everything from a corvid page through a web interface for interacting with the users’ transactions, the log and other data.
Once you have that working, you could write an API to interface with any external clients that you want to authorize to feed transactions to the ledger on corvid (if you want to get fancy and write dedicated apps for iOS and Android and any other operating systems, etc).
This looks like a fun little project for another proof of concept.
Have to finish some other projects before I could tackle this one.
Thank you @brainstorrrm I do believe it to be possible and what you are saying makes sense as its very similar to my thoughts I just don’t have the level of coding experience to strip it down and build a workilng example. Si
Hi GOS you’re correct I have asked a similar question and time has moved on so has my understanding of wix and how powerful it can be, I feel it is and always has been possible it just takes someone with a bit more knowledge and Experience of coding to be able to provide a proof of concept. Si
Hi Brainstorm, my knowledge and experience has come on since this last message, however, I now have a blockchain sort of working but am struggling with the code between .JS files .JSW files and the client side. Im more than happy to provide the code for review and if others wish to use it they can also.
Blockchain now working and will be utilising wix real-time Api or npm package to enable peer to peer use. Amazing really.
reserved, this is what i was waiting for years
@givemeawhisky Any updates on the PumaPay integration?
I would recommend you to take a deeper look into neblio blockchain since it supports 8 programming languages and also javaScript with which i should be possible to accomplish what you are looking for , but have not tried it myself
Hi Simon
Any resources you followed online that allowed you to put it together on Wix?
