Title: [ANN] txtool: Advanced transaction building Post by: jgarzik on July 03, 2013, 04:15:45 PM URL: https://github.com/jgarzik/txtool
txtool is a command line tool written in node.js that interfaces with Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind, to automate or assist in building interesting, unusual, complicated or just plain odd transactions. The goal is to demonstrate advanced bitcoin features, and make it easier for users to experiment. The intended audience has a basic awareness of how bitcoin transactions look and work. The theory of operation and full list of commands may be reviewed at https://github.com/jgarzik/txtool/blob/master/README Initially, two working examples are presented:
Further examples such as decentralized crowdfunding and atomic coin swapping (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=112007.msg1212356#msg1212356) will be demonstrated soon.

a) install nodejs (from nodejs.org) b) run: $ npm install -g txtool After that, you should be able run txtool from the shell: $ txtool This installs the nodejs txtool package with all dependencies in your global nodejs environment and then creates a symlink to the executable in your $PATH (usually /usr/local/bin).

The bitcoinj Java library does not support the P2SH feature (BIP 16 (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0016)).

It would be a good idea to put these instructions in the README on github. Will save non-nodejs people like me some time. :) But that aside, thank you! This tool is aWeSoMe!!
