#Picocoin
Tiny bitcoin library, with lightweight client and utils
libccoin library dependencies: OpenSSL
picocoin client dependencies: OpenSSL libevent 2.x jansson 2.x (2.1 used for development)
block relay daemon (brd) dependencies: OpenSSL libevent 2.x
In general, the program stores settings in a key/value map. These key=value parameters may be specified on the command line, or in a configuration file.
The command line is processed in-order. For example
$ ./picocoin value=1 list-settings value=2 list-settings
will execute the "list-settings" command twice, each with "value" setting initialized to a different parameter.
Similarly, you may read multiple configuration files into the settings map:
$ ./picocoin config=file1 config=file2 config=file3
Format: address SPACE port
Manually add P2P node to peer manager.
Specify a pathname to the configuration file.
Specify a pathname to the wallet data file. Default "picocoin.wallet"
AES encryption is applied to the wallet. Passphrase is specified via environment variable PICOCOIN_PASSPHRASE.
Enable additional debug output.
TCP connect(2) timeout.
Select blockchain and network. Reads the "chain" settings variable. Acceptable values are "chain=bitcoin" and "chain=testnet3". Updates internal parameters (pchMessageStart / network magic, genesis block, ...)
Query and display bitcoin DNS seeds, for P2P node addresses.
Output these commands and recognized settings.
Display settings map.
Generate a new bitcoin address (ECDSA keypair). Store it in the current wallet,
Initialize a new wallet. Refuses to initialize, if the filename already exists.
Synchronize with network: send any pending payments, and check for new incoming payments.
List all bitcoin addresses in wallet.
Dump entire wallet contents, including all private keys.
Informational summary of wallet data.
