btcd Websockets Example
=======================

This example shows how to use the btcrpcclient package to connect to a btcd
RPC server using TLS-secured websockets, register for block connected and block
disconnected notifications, and get the current block count.

This example also sets a timer to shutdown the client after 10 seconds to
demonstrate clean shutdown.

## Running the Example

The first step is to use `go get` to download and install the btcrpcclient
package:

```bash
$ go get github.com/conformal/btcrpcclient
```

Next, modify the `main.go` source to specify the correct RPC username and
password for the RPC server:

```Go
	User: "yourrpcuser",
	Pass: "yourrpcpass",
```

Finally, navigate to the example's directory and run it with:

```bash
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/conformal/btcrpcclient/examples/btcdwebsockets
$ go run *.go
```
