Overview

Package util provides bitcoin-specific convenience functions and types.

Block Overview

A Block defines a bitcoin block that provides easier and more efficient manipulation of raw wire protocol blocks. It also memoizes hashes for the block and its transactions on their first access so subsequent accesses don't have to repeat the relatively expensive hashing operations.

Tx Overview

A Tx defines a bitcoin transaction that provides more efficient manipulation of raw wire protocol transactions. It memoizes the hash for the transaction on its first access so subsequent accesses don't have to repeat the relatively expensive hashing operations.

Address Overview

The Address interface provides an abstraction for a Bitcoin address. While the most common type is a pay-to-pubkey-hash, Bitcoin already supports others and may well support more in the future. This package currently provides implementations for the pay-to-pubkey, pay-to-pubkey-hash, and pay-to-script-hash address types.

To decode/encode an address:

// NOTE: The default network is only used for address types which do not
// already contain that information.  At this time, that is only
// pay-to-pubkey addresses.
addrString := "04678afdb0fe5548271967f1a67130b7105cd6a828e03909a67962" +
	"e0ea1f61deb649f6bc3f4cef38c4f35504e51ec112de5c384df7ba0b8d57" +
	"8a4c702b6bf11d5f"
defaultNet := &chaincfg.MainNetParams
addr, err := util.DecodeAddress(addrString, defaultNet)
if err != nil {
	fmt.Println(err)
	return
}
fmt.Println(addr.EncodeAddress())

var ErrMalformedPrivateKey = errors.New("malformed private key")

ErrMalformedPrivateKey describes an error where a WIF-encoded private key cannot be decoded due to being improperly formatted. This may occur if the byte length is incorrect or an unexpected magic number was encountered.

Functions

func AppDataDir

func AppDataDir(appName string, roaming bool) string

AppDataDir returns an operating system specific directory to be used for storing application data for an application.

The appName parameter is the name of the application the data directory is being requested for. This function will prepend a period to the appName for POSIX style operating systems since that is standard practice. An empty appName or one with a single dot is treated as requesting the current directory so only "." will be returned. Further, the first character of appName will be made lowercase for POSIX style operating systems and uppercase for Mac and Windows since that is standard practice.

The roaming parameter only applies to Windows where it specifies the roaming application data profile (%APPDATA%) should be used instead of the local one (%LOCALAPPDATA%) that is used by default.

Example results:

dir := AppDataDir("myapp", false)
 POSIX (Linux/BSD): ~/.myapp
 Mac OS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Myapp
 Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Myapp
 Plan 9: $home/myapp

func BigToCompact

func BigToCompact(n *big.Int) uint32

BigToCompact converts a whole number N to a compact representation using an unsigned 32-bit number. The compact representation only provides 23 bits of precision, so values larger than (2^23 - 1) only encode the most significant digits of the number. See CompactToBig for details.

Example

This example demonstrates how to convert a target difficulty into the compact "bits" in a block header which represent that target difficulty .

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math/big"

	"github.com/daglabs/btcd/util"
)

func main() {
	// Convert the target difficulty from block 300000 in the main block
	// chain to compact form.
	t := "0000000000000000896c00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
	targetDifficulty, success := new(big.Int).SetString(t, 16)
	if !success {
		fmt.Println("invalid target difficulty")
		return
	}
	bits := util.BigToCompact(targetDifficulty)

	fmt.Println(bits)

}
Output:

419465580

func CalcWork

func CalcWork(bits uint32) *big.Int

CalcWork calculates a work value from difficulty bits. Bitcoin increases the difficulty for generating a block by decreasing the value which the generated hash must be less than. This difficulty target is stored in each block header using a compact representation as described in the documentation for CompactToBig. The main chain is selected by choosing the chain that has the most proof of work (highest difficulty). Since a lower target difficulty value equates to higher actual difficulty, the work value which will be accumulated must be the inverse of the difficulty. Also, in order to avoid potential division by zero and really small floating point numbers, the result adds 1 to the denominator and multiplies the numerator by 2^256.

func CompactToBig

func CompactToBig(compact uint32) *big.Int

CompactToBig converts a compact representation of a whole number N to an unsigned 32-bit number. The representation is similar to IEEE754 floating point numbers.

Like IEEE754 floating point, there are three basic components: the sign, the exponent, and the mantissa. They are broken out as follows:

  • the most significant 8 bits represent the unsigned base 256 exponent

  • bit 23 (the 24th bit) represents the sign bit

  • the least significant 23 bits represent the mantissa

    ------------------------------------------------- | Exponent | Sign | Mantissa | ------------------------------------------------- | 8 bits [31-24] | 1 bit [23] | 23 bits [22-00] | -------------------------------------------------

The formula to calculate N is:

N = (-1^sign) * mantissa * 256^(exponent-3)

This compact form is only used in bitcoin to encode unsigned 256-bit numbers which represent difficulty targets, thus there really is not a need for a sign bit, but it is implemented here to stay consistent with bitcoind.

Example

This example demonstrates how to convert the compact "bits" in a block header which represent the target difficulty to a big integer and display it using the typical hex notation.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/daglabs/btcd/util"
)

func main() {
	// Convert the bits from block 300000 in the main block chain.
	bits := uint32(419465580)
	targetDifficulty := util.CompactToBig(bits)

	// Display it in hex.
	fmt.Printf("%064x\n", targetDifficulty.Bytes())

}
Output:

0000000000000000896c00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

func FastLog2Floor

func FastLog2Floor(n uint32) uint8

FastLog2Floor calculates and returns floor(log2(x)) in a constant 5 steps.

func Hash160

func Hash160(buf []byte) []byte

Hash160 calculates the hash ripemd160(sha256(b)).

func NewTLSCertPair

func NewTLSCertPair(organization string, validUntil time.Time, extraHosts []string) (cert, key []byte, err error)

NewTLSCertPair returns a new PEM-encoded x.509 certificate pair based on a 521-bit ECDSA private key. The machine's local interface addresses and all variants of IPv4 and IPv6 localhost are included as valid IP addresses.

func ToCamelCase

func ToCamelCase(str string) string

ToCamelCase converts a camelCase-ish string into a typical JSON camelCase string. Example conversion: MyJSONVariable -> myJsonVariable

Types

type Address

type Address interface {
	// String returns the string encoding of the transaction output
	// destination.
	//
	// Please note that String differs subtly from EncodeAddress: String
	// will return the value as a string without any conversion, while
	// EncodeAddress may convert destination types (for example,
	// converting pubkeys to P2PKH addresses) before encoding as a
	// payment address string.
	String() string

	// EncodeAddress returns the string encoding of the payment address
	// associated with the Address value.  See the comment on String
	// for how this method differs from String.
	EncodeAddress() string

	// ScriptAddress returns the raw bytes of the address to be used
	// when inserting the address into a txout's script.
	ScriptAddress() []byte

	// IsForPrefix returns whether or not the address is associated with the
	// passed bitcoin network.
	IsForPrefix(prefix Bech32Prefix) bool
}

Address is an interface type for any type of destination a transaction output may spend to. This includes pay-to-pubkey (P2PK), pay-to-pubkey-hash (P2PKH), and pay-to-script-hash (P2SH). Address is designed to be generic enough that other kinds of addresses may be added in the future without changing the decoding and encoding API.

func DecodeAddress

func DecodeAddress(addr string, defaultPrefix Bech32Prefix) (Address, error)

DecodeAddress decodes the string encoding of an address and returns the Address if addr is a valid encoding for a known address type.

The bitcoin network address is associated with is extracted if possible. When the address does not encode the network, such as in the case of a raw public key, the address will be associated with the passed defaultNet.

type AddressPubKey

type AddressPubKey struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

AddressPubKey is an Address for a pay-to-pubkey transaction.

func NewAddressPubKey

func NewAddressPubKey(serializedPubKey []byte, prefix Bech32Prefix) (*AddressPubKey, error)

func (*AddressPubKey) AddressPubKeyHash

func (a *AddressPubKey) AddressPubKeyHash() *AddressPubKeyHash

AddressPubKeyHash returns the pay-to-pubkey address converted to a pay-to-pubkey-hash address. Note that the public key format (uncompressed, compressed, etc) will change the resulting address. This is expected since pay-to-pubkey-hash is a hash of the serialized public key which obviously differs with the format. At the time of this writing, most Bitcoin addresses are pay-to-pubkey-hash constructed from the uncompressed public key.

func (*AddressPubKey) EncodeAddress

func (a *AddressPubKey) EncodeAddress() string

EncodeAddress returns the string encoding of the public key as a pay-to-pubkey-hash. Note that the public key format (uncompressed, compressed, etc) will change the resulting address. This is expected since pay-to-pubkey-hash is a hash of the serialized public key which obviously differs with the format. At the time of this writing, most Bitcoin addresses are pay-to-pubkey-hash constructed from the uncompressed public key.

	"github.com/daglabs/btcd/util"
)

func main() {

	a := util.Amount(0)
	fmt.Println("Zero Satoshi:", a)

}
Output:

Zero Satoshi: 0 BTC
100,000,000 Satoshis: 1 BTC
100,000 Satoshis: 0.001 BTC
Example (UnitConversions)
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/daglabs/btcd/util"
)

func main() {

Satoshi to MilliBTC: 444333222.111 mBTC
Satoshi to MicroBTC: 444333222111 μBTC
Satoshi to Satoshi: 44433322211100 Satoshi

func NewAmount

func NewAmount(f float64) (Amount, error)

NewAmount creates an Amount from a floating point value representing some value in bitcoin. NewAmount errors if f is NaN or +-Infinity, but does not check that the amount is within the total amount of bitcoin producible as f may not refer to an amount at a single moment in time.

NewAmount is for specifically for converting BTC to Satoshi. For creating a new Amount with an int64 value which denotes a quantity of Satoshi, do a simple type conversion from type int64 to Amount. See GoDoc for example: http://godoc.org/github.com/daglabs/btcutil#example-Amount

Example
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"

	"github.com/daglabs/btcd/util"
)

func main() {
	amountOne, err := util.NewAmount(1)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	fmt.Println(amountOne) //Output 1

	amountFraction, err := util.NewAmount(0.01234567)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	fmt.Println(amountFraction) //Output 2

	amountZero, err := util.NewAmount(0)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	fmt.Println(amountZero) //Output 3

	amountNaN, err := util.NewAmount(math.NaN())
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	fmt.Println(amountNaN) //Output 4

}
Output:

1 BTC
0.01234567 BTC
0 BTC
invalid bitcoin amount

func (Amount) Format

func (Amount) MulF64

func (a Amount) MulF64(f float64) Amount

MulF64 multiplies an Amount by a floating point value. While this is not an operation that must typically be done by a full node or wallet, it is useful for services that build on top of bitcoin (for example, calculating a fee by multiplying by a percentage).

func (*Tx) Hash

func (t *Tx) Hash() *daghash.Hash

Hash returns the hash of the transaction. This is equivalent to calling TxHash on the underlying wire.MsgTx, however it caches the result so subsequent calls are more efficient.

func (*Tx) ID

func (t *Tx) ID() *daghash.TxID

ID returns the id of the transaction. This is equivalent to calling TxID on the underlying wire.MsgTx, however it caches the result so subsequent calls are more efficient.

func (*Tx) Index

func (t *Tx) Index() int

Index returns the saved index of the transaction within a block. This value will be TxIndexUnknown if it hasn't already explicitly been set.

func (*Tx) MsgTx

func (t *Tx) MsgTx() *wire.MsgTx

MsgTx returns the underlying wire.MsgTx for the transaction.

func (*Tx) SetIndex

func (t *Tx) SetIndex(index int)

SetIndex sets the index of the transaction in within a block.

type WIF

type WIF struct {
	// PrivKey is the private key being imported or exported.
	PrivKey *btcec.PrivateKey

	// CompressPubKey specifies whether the address controlled by the
	// imported or exported private key was created by hashing a
	// compressed (33-byte) serialized public key, rather than an
	// uncompressed (65-byte) one.
	CompressPubKey bool
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

WIF contains the individual components described by the Wallet Import Format (WIF). A WIF string is typically used to represent a private key and its associated address in a way that may be easily copied and imported into or exported from wallet software. WIF strings may be decoded into this structure by calling DecodeWIF or created with a user-provided private key by calling NewWIF.

func DecodeWIF

func DecodeWIF(wif string) (*WIF, error)

DecodeWIF creates a new WIF structure by decoding the string encoding of the import format.

The WIF string must be a base58-encoded string of the following byte sequence:

  • 1 byte to identify the network, must be 0x80 for mainnet or 0xef for either testnet3 or the regression test network
  • 32 bytes of a binary-encoded, big-endian, zero-padded private key
  • Optional 1 byte (equal to 0x01) if the address being imported or exported was created by taking the RIPEMD160 after SHA256 hash of a serialized compressed (33-byte) public key
  • 4 bytes of checksum, must equal the first four bytes of the double SHA256 of every byte before the checksum in this sequence

If the base58-decoded byte sequence does not match this, DecodeWIF will return a non-nil error. ErrMalformedPrivateKey is returned when the WIF is of an impossible length or the expected compressed pubkey magic number does not equal the expected value of 0x01. ErrChecksumMismatch is returned if the expected WIF checksum does not match the calculated checksum.

func NewWIF

func NewWIF(privKey *btcec.PrivateKey, privateKeyID byte, compress bool) (*WIF, error)

NewWIF creates a new WIF structure to export an address and its private key as a string encoded in the Wallet Import Format. The compress argument specifies whether the address intended to be imported or exported was created by serializing the public key compressed rather than uncompressed.

func (*WIF) IsForNet

func (w *WIF) IsForNet(privateKeyID byte) bool

IsForNet returns whether or not the decoded WIF structure is associated with the passed bitcoin network.

func (*WIF) SerializePubKey

func (w *WIF) SerializePubKey() []byte

SerializePubKey serializes the associated public key of the imported or exported private key in either a compressed or uncompressed format. The serialization format chosen depends on the value of w.CompressPubKey.

func (*WIF) String

func (w *WIF) String() string

String creates the Wallet Import Format string encoding of a WIF structure. See DecodeWIF for a detailed breakdown of the format and requirements of a valid WIF string.
