BuildLink CoverageLink LicenseLink IssuesLink

A library to read/write data to bitcoin transactions as nulldata outputs.

Installation

pip install btctxstore

storing data in nulldata outputs

Store data in blockchain in new transaction with nulldata output.

# from examples/store_nulldata.py
import binascii
from btctxstore import BtcTxStore

# Wallet used to pay for fee. Please do not spend the testnet coins is
# this wallet or the example will fail due to lack of funds.
wifs = ["cUZfG8KJ3BrXneg2LjUX4VoMg76Fcgx6QDiAZj2oGbuw6da8Lzv1"]

# use testnet and dont post tx to blockchain for example
api = BtcTxStore(testnet=True, dryrun=True)

# store data in blockchain as nulldata output (max 40bytes)
data = binascii.hexlify(b"github.com/F483/btctxstore")
txid = api.store_nulldata(data, wifs)
print(txid)

retrieving data from nulldata outputs

Retrieve transaction from blockchain and read data stored as nulldata output.

# from examples/retrieve_nulldata.py
from btctxstore import BtcTxStore

api = BtcTxStore(testnet=True, dryrun=True)  # use testing setup for example
txid = "987451c344c504d07c1fa12cfbf84b5346535da5154006f6dc8399a8fae127eb"
hexnulldata = api.retrieve_nulldata(txid)
print(hexnulldata)

sign/verify data (bitcoind compatible)

# from examples/signverify.py
import binascii
from btctxstore import BtcTxStore

api = BtcTxStore(testnet=True, dryrun=True)  # use testing setup for example
wif = api.create_key()  # create new private key
address = api.get_address(wif)  # get private key address
data = binascii.hexlify(b"messagetext")  # hexlify messagetext

# sign data with private key
signature = api.sign_data(wif, data)
print("signature:", signature)

# verify signature (no public or private key needed)
isvalid = api.verify_signature(address, signature, data)
print("valid signature" if isvalid else "invalid signature")

Split utxos

Split utxos of wallet unitil limit or max_outputs reached.

# from examples/split_utxos.py
from btctxstore import BtcTxStore

# Please do not spend the testnet coins is this wallet
# or the example will fail due to lack of funds.
wif = "cUZfG8KJ3BrXneg2LjUX4VoMg76Fcgx6QDiAZj2oGbuw6da8Lzv1"

# use testnet and dont post tx to blockchain for example
api = BtcTxStore(testnet=True, dryrun=True)

limit = 10000000  # 0.1BTC
txids = api.split_utxos(wif, limit)
print(txids)
