Bitcoin Core HTTP POST Example
==============================
This example shows how to use the btcrpcclient package to connect to a Bitcoin
Core RPC server using HTTP POST mode with TLS disabled and gets the current
block count.
## 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/bitcoincorehttp
$ go run *.go
```
