Josh Rickmar bcb009075b Add method to access P2PKH and P2SH hash arrays.
This change adds the Hash160 methods to AddressPubKeyHash and
AddressScriptHash so the hash may be accessed as an array, rather than
a byte slice with the ScriptAddress method of the Address interface.
In situations where arrays are more appropiate than slices (such as
for map keys), accessing the array directly this way can significantly
improve performance by reducing copying into local arrays.

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
