Python Tools

BitRPC

Allows for sending of all standard Bitcoin commands via RPC rather than as command line args.

PyMiner

This is a 'getwork' CPU mining client for Bitcoin. It is pure-python, and therefore very, very slow. The purpose is to provide a reference implementation of a miner, for study.

SpendFrom

Use the raw transactions API to send coins received on a particular address (or addresses).

Wallet Tools

Contains a wallet change password and unlock script. Used to prevent users from having to enter their password as a command-line argument.

Repository Tools

Debian

Contains files used to package bitcoind/bitcoin-qt for Debian-based Linux systems. If you compile bitcoind/bitcoin-qt yourself, there are some useful files here.

Gitian-descriptors

Gavin's notes on getting gitian builds up and running using KVM.

Gitian-downloader

Various PGP files of core developers.

Linearize

Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.

MacDeploy

Scripts and notes for Mac builds.

Qos

A Linux bash script that will set up tc to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.

Seeds

Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client.

TestGen

Utilities to generate test vectors for the data-driven Bitcoin tests.

Test Patches

These patches are applied when the automated pull-tester tests each pull and when master is tested using jenkins.

Verify SF Binaries

This script attempts to download and verify the signature file SHA256SUMS.asc from SourceForge.
