A pure Go Electrum bitcoin library. This makes it easy to write bitcoin based services using Go without having to run a full bitcoin node.
This is very much WIP and has a number of unimplemented methods. This will eventually be rewritten into a more Go-esque library and handle wallet generation.
Packages provided
- electrum - Library for using JSON-RPC to talk directly to Electrum servers.
- wallet - A bitcoin wallet built on btcwallet with Electrum as the backend.
- irc - A helper module for finding electrum servers using the #electrum IRC channel on Freenode.
See example/ for more.
