btcutil

[Build Status] (https://travis-ci.org/conformal/btcutil)

Package btcutil provides bitcoin-specific convenience functions and types. A comprehensive suite of tests is provided to ensure proper functionality. See test_coverage.txt for the gocov coverage report. Alternatively, if you are running a POSIX OS, you can run the cov_report.sh script for a real-time report. Package btcutil is licensed under the liberal ISC license.

This package was developed for btcd, an alternative full-node implementation of bitcoin which is under active development by Conformal. Although it was primarily written for btcd, this package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing the functionality provided.
