bteutil
Package bteutil provides bitcoin-specific convenience functions and types.
A comprehensive suite of tests is provided to ensure proper functionality. See

This package was developed for bted, an alternative full-node implementation of bitcoin which is under active development by Conformal. Although it was primarily written for bted, this package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing the functionality provided.
