|
=====
|
|
|
|
Package btcdb provides a database interface for the bitcoin block chain and
|
|
transactions. There is a test suite with a high percentage of code coverage.
|
|
See `test_coverage.txt` for the current coverage (using gocov). Alternatively,
|
|
if you are running a POSIX OS, you can run the cov_report.sh script for a
|
|
real-time report. Package btcdb is licensed under the liberal ISC license.
|
|
|
|
Note that the main `Db` interface is not yet finalized, so it is subject to
|
|
change.
|
|
|
|
## Sample Use
|
|
|
|
```Go
|
|
db, err := btcdb.CreateDB("sqlite", "dbexample")
|
|
newHeight, err := db.InsertBlock(block)
|
|
db.Sync()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
Full `go doc` style documentation for the project can be viewed online without

- Allow other database backends
|
|
|
|
## GPG Verification Key
|
|
|
|
All official release tags are signed by Conformal so users can ensure the code
|
|
has not been tampered with and is coming from Conformal. To verify the
|
|
signature perform the following:
|
|
|
|
- Download the public key from the Conformal website at
|
|
https://opensource.conformal.com/GIT-GPG-KEY-conformal.txt
|
|
|
|
- Import the public key into your GPG keyring:
|
|
```bash
|
|
gpg --import GIT-GPG-KEY-conformal.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Verify the release tag with the following command where `TAG_NAME` is a
|
|
placeholder for the specific tag:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git tag -v TAG_NAME
|
|
```
