The github markdown interpreter has been changed such that it no longer allows spaces in between the brackets and parenthesis of links. This updates all of the markdown files accordingly. While here, it also corrects a couple of inconsistencies in regards to other README.md files in the project.

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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Installation and Updating
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ go get -u github.com/btcsuite/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 the btcsuite developers. 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
|
|
```
