Which might not be a good idea, because it add a trust dependency to your program with the API provider.  \r\n\r\nWhen using `either` you need to have an `or` counterpart.\r\nExample: `You can either go left or right`.\r\n\r\nThe author of the quoted text might be trying to tell us that,\r\nin order to fetch the coloured coins of a transaction, we can\r\neither use a third party API or a balance.\r\n\r\nBut I think it is more likely that the or part of the sentence was simply omitted.\r\n\r\n\u003e **NBitcoin** allows you either to depend on a web service, either to provide your own implementation for fetching the color of a **Transaction**. This allows you to have a flexible way to unit test your code, use another implementation or your own. \r\n\r\nI think the author means `allows you to either depend on a webserver or provide your own implementation to fetch the color of a transaction` \r\n\r\n\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/timothyparez","@type":"Person","name":"timothyparez"},"datePublished":"2018-09-28T05:07:53.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/116/ProgrammingBlockchain/issues/116"}
