import "github.com/conformal/btcutil" // Create a new empty block block := btcutil.NewBlock(&wire.BlockHeader{}) // Add a transaction to the block tx := wire.MsgTx{} block.AddTransaction(tx)
import ( "bytes" "encoding/hex" "github.com/conformal/btcutil" ) // Parse a raw serialized block rawBlock := "01000000..." serializedBlock, _ := hex.DecodeString(rawBlock) block, _ := btcutil.NewBlockFromBytes(serializedBlock) // Serialize the block again buf := bytes.NewBuffer(nil) block.MsgBlock().Serialize(buf) // Verify that the serialized block and the original raw block are the same if bytes.Equal(buf.Bytes(), serializedBlock) { fmt.Println("Block serialization works!") }This example demonstrates how to parse a raw serialized block, serialize it again, and verify that the original and serialized blocks are the same. This can be useful for testing blockchain data against different implementations. Overall, the github.com/conformal/btcutil package is a useful tool for working with Bitcoin data in Go, providing a set of high-level types for encoding and decoding Bitcoin messages.
