Package btcdb provides a database interface for the bitcoin block chain and transactions. There is a test suite with a high percentage of code coverage. See test_coverage.txt for the current coverage (using gocov). Alternatively, if you are running a POSIX OS, you can run the cov_report.sh script for a real-time report. Package btcdb is licensed under the liberal ISC license.

Note that the main Db interface is not yet finalized, so it is subject to change.

	db, err := btcdb.CreateDB("sqlite", "dbexample")
	newHeight, err := db.InsertBlock(block)
	db.Sync()

Full go doc style documentation for the project can be viewed online without installing this package by using the GoDoc site here.

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/btcdb

$ go get github.com/conformal/btcdb

• Increase test coverage to 100%
• Allow other database backends
