Dave Collins 60d4bed78f Modify DecodeAddress to accept serialized pubkeys.
This commit modifies DecodeAddress to accept and decode pay-to-pubkey
addresses (raw serialized public keys).  Since the resulting Address
needs to have a network associated with it, and a raw serialized public
key does not encode the network with it, a new parameter has been added
which requires the caller to specify a default network to use when
decoding addresses.

In the case the address has a network encoded with it such as for
pay-to-pubkey-hash and pay-to-script-hash addresses, the network will be
decoded from the address and the resulting Address instance will have that
network associated with it.  When the address does NOT have a network
encoded with it, such as a pay-to-pubkey address, the provided default
network will be associated with the returned Address instance.

Also, the tests have been updated to test the new functionality.

ok @owainga and @jrick.

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.

Documentation

Full go doc style documentation for the project can be viewed online without installing this package by using the GoDoc site here: http://godoc.org/github.com/conformal/btcutil

You can also view the documentation locally once the package is installed with the godoc tool by running godoc -http=":6060" and pointing your browser to http://localhost:6060/pkg/github.com/conformal/btcutil

Installation

$ go get github.com/conformal/btcutil

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:

    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:

    git tag -v TAG_NAME
