# p2tr        bc1pmfr3p9j00pfxjh0zmgp99y8zftmd3s5pmedqhyptwy6lm87hf5sspknck9

example/message.py

Sign a message with the private key and verify it.

$ python example/message.py --prikey 1 --msg pybtc
# ICvzXjwjJVMilSGyMqwlqMTuGF6UMwddFJzVmm0Di5qNnqkBRKP8Pldm3YbOskg3ewV1tszVLy8gVX1u+qFrx6o=

$ python example/message.py --prikey 1 --msg pybtc --sig ICvzXjwjJVMilSGyMqwlqMTuGF6UMwddFJzVmm0Di5qNnqkBRKP8Pldm3YbOskg3ewV1tszVLy8gVX1u+qFrx6o=
# True

example/taproot.py

This example demonstrates how to create a P2TR script with two script spending paths: p2pk and p2ms(2-of-2 multisig).

$ python example/taproot.py

example/transfer.py

Transfer Bitcoin to another account. Pybtc supports four common types of Bitcoin transactions: P2PKH, P2SH-P2WPKH, P2WPKH, and P2TR. For more complex account types, such as P2SH-P2MS, please refer to test/test_wallet.py.

$ python example/transfer.py --net develop --prikey 1 --script-type p2pkh --to mg8Jz5776UdyiYcBb9Z873NTozEiADRW5H --value 0.1

# 0x039d1b0fe969d33341a7db9ddd236f632d6851292200603abc5a6c7738bf3079

Before using this script, you first need to execute the code in the Test section. This is because pybtc requires the bitcoin core wallet to provide an account's utxo set.

Test

The testing of this project relies on regtest. You can set up the regtest node using the following steps:

$ wget https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-27.1/bitcoin-27.1-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf bitcoin-27.1-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
$ cp -R bitcoin-27.1 ~/app/bitcoin # Install to the target location.

$ mkdir ~/.bitcoin
$ echo "chain=regtest" >> ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
$ echo "rpcpassword=pass" >> ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
$ echo "rpcuser=user" >> ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
$ echo "txindex=1" >> ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

$ bitcoind
# Create default wallets
$ python example/regtest.py
$ pytest -v
