rddnet

[] (https://travis-ci.org/reddcoin-project/rddnet) [![Coverage Status] (https://coveralls.io/repos/reddcoin-project/rddnet/badge.png?branch=master)] (https://coveralls.io/r/reddcoin-project/rddnet?branch=master)

Package rddnet defines the network parameters for the three standard Reddcoin networks and provides the ability for callers to define their own custom Reddcoin networks.

This package is one of the core packages from rddd, an alternative full-node implementation of Reddcoin which is under active development by Conformal. Although it was primarily written for rddd, this package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing to use parameters for the standard Reddcoin networks or for projects needing to define their own network.

Sample Use

package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/reddcoin-project/rddnet"
	"github.com/reddcoin-project/rddutil"
)

var testnet = flag.Bool("testnet", false, "operate on the testnet Reddcoin network")

// By default (without -testnet), use mainnet.
var netParams = &rddnet.MainNetParams

func main() {
	flag.Parse()

	// Modify active network parameters if operating on testnet.
	if *testnet {
		netParams = &rddnet.TestNet3Params
	}

	// later...

	// Create and print new payment address, specific to the active network.
	pubKeyHash := make([]byte, 20)
	addr, err := rddutil.NewAddressPubKeyHash(pubKeyHash, netParams)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(addr)
}
