It has been tested with Python 2.7, 3.7-3.13. See also pycoinnet for a library that speaks the bitcoin protocol. Documentation at readthedocs Discussion at zulipchat Networks -------- As of 0.9, pycoin supports many coins to various degrees via the \"network\" class. Since specifications vary based on the network (for example, bitcoin mainnet addresses start with a \"1\", but testnet addresses start with an \"m\" or \"n\"), all API descends from a network object. Everything related to a particular network is scoped under this class. Bitcoin has the highest level of support, including keys, transactions, validation of signed transactions, and signing unsigned transactions, including partial signing of multisig transactions. These are in level of increasing complexity, so features for other coins will likely be supported in that order. There are two main ways to get a network: OR Keys ---- You can create a private key and get the corresponding address. BIP32 ----- You can create a BIP32 key. You can parse a BIP32 key. WARNING: be extremely careful giving out public wallet keys. If someone has access to a private wallet key P, of course they have access to all descendent wallet keys of P. But if they also have access to a public wallet key K where P is a subkey of K, you can actually work your way up th","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/richardkiss","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/richardkiss/pycoin/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
