Run is one of the most interesting projects I've seen in the Bitcoin community.

Quite an abstract approach; Run allows you to define Javascript, and then persist to the blockchain and load/refresh objects from the BSV blockchain.


I'm currently working on a few tutorials for myself:

  • Recommendations
  • Voting
  • A CMS
  • Coupons

The developer experience

Using Run has been an enjoyable experience. The initial downloaded .zip file unzips to a folder of examples and working code.

The syntax and flow of Run applications

const run = new Run() is defined for every application.

And, during testing, the mock network is used to prevent any activity on the real blockchain.

const run = new Run({ network: 'mock' })

After defining Run, the items can be created and or loaded...

Leave a tip

Tips go directly to a Bitcoin SV address I control — peer to peer, no platform in between. A few thousand satoshis is a fraction of a cent; it's the gesture that counts.

From any BSV wallet

Scan the QR code with your wallet's camera, or copy the address.

With HandCash or any paymail wallet

Paymail is an email-style address for Bitcoin wallets. Send any amount to afomi@handcash.io

First time using Bitcoin? Yours Wallet is an open-source browser extension wallet, and HandCash is an easy mobile wallet — either takes a minute to set up.
