Bitcoin SV JSON-RPC client

A client library to talk to the JSON-RPC endpoint on a Bitcoin node (and much more! - check the ever expanding list of features below). The long term plan is to develop library into a fully-fledged Bitcoin library and split it into multiple libraries. It will stay in a single project for easier early stage development.

Warning: Library is under active development and will most likely keep changing in the foreseeable future.

Features

• API to work with basic Bitcoin structures
  • Transactions
  • Transaction inputs
  • Transaction outputs
  • Addresses
  • Unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs)
  • Blocks
  • Scripts (TODO)
• Base58Check API
• Various helper functions
  • P2PKH transaction generation
  • Variable length integer operations
• JSON-RPC client API (not complete, support for new methods added regularly)
• MetaNet operations

Usage

In order to use the JSON-RPC client feature add :bsv_rpc to your applications:

def application do
  [applications: [:bsv_rpc]]
end

and add Bitcoin node connection configuration:

config :bsv_rpc, :node,
  hostname: "localhost",
  port: 8332,
  username: "someusername",
  password: "somepassword"

Alternatively you can run the client's GenServer process manually:

{:ok, pid} = BsvRpc.Client.start_link("someusername", "somepass", "localhost", 8332)
