Blaze Stream BCH 🚀

Blaze Stream BCH is a decentralized video streaming platform built on BitcoinCash, leveraging smart contracts and Cashtokens. It empowers creators to monetize content directly, enforces secure access control, and automates royalties and tipping — all in a **trustless, transparent environment.

## 🔹 Quick Demo Setup (Hackathon-Friendly)

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/KALYANI100/blaze-stream-bch.git
cd blaze-stream-bch

2. Install root dependencies

npm install

3. Install backend dependencies

cd Backend
npm install

4. Configure environment variables

• Update with your Mainnet credentials:

DATABASE_URL=<your_neondb_connection_string>

B2_APPLICATION_KEY_ID=<your_b2_key_id>
B2_APPLICATION_KEY=<your_b2_application_key>
B2_BUCKET_ID=<your_b2_bucket_id>
B2_BUCKET_NAME=<your_b2_bucket_name>

JWT_SECRET=your_super_secure_secret_here

⚠️ Remove any regtest credentials and replace them with Mainnet details.

5. Setup database

npx prisma generate
npx prisma db push

6. Update BCHRPC class with Mainnet

class BCHRPC {
  constructor(port = 8332, username = 'your_mainnet_user', password = 'your_mainnet_password') {
    this.port = port;
    this.auth = Buffer.from(`${username}:${password}`).toString('base64');
  }

  async call(method, params = []) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      const data = JSON.stringify({ jsonrpc: '1.0', id: 'bch_api', method, params });
      const options = {
        hostname: '127.0.0.1',
        port: this.port,
        path: '/',
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
          'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(data),
          'Authorization': `Basic ${this.auth}`,
        },
      };
      const req = http.request(options, (res) => {
        let responseData = '';
        res.on('data', (chunk) => (responseData += chunk));
        res.on('end', () => {
          try {
            const result = JSON.parse(responseData);
            if (result.error) reject(new Error(result.error.message));
            else resolve(result.result);
          } catch (err) { reject(new Error(`JSON parse error: ${err.message}`)); }
        });
      });
      req.on('error', (err) => reject(err));
      req.write(data);
      req.end();
    });
  }
}

const rpc = new BCHRPC(8332, 'your_mainnet_user', 'your_mainnet_password');
