Programming Bitcoin in Rust

FAQ

What is this?

• An implementation of various topics covered by Jimmy Song's Programming Bitcoin course.
• ... in Rust!

Why Rust?

This project is also an exercise in learning how to program using Rust.

How do you run the exercises?

Install Rust and Cargo.

Then, cargo run --example <target> <n>.

• target: File to run (exercises/*.rs), corresponding to each chapter.
• n: Which exercise to run (1, 2, etc.) from the chapter.
  • 0 runs other miscellaneous code samples included in the chapter.

... or, script/run-all-examples.

Can I get that with a side of rustdoc?

cargo doc --open.

Why ruint?

Because I would like 256-bit integer support when working through the exercises.

Can I use this in production?

Would you trust code written by an apathetic crab that is drinking a tequila sunrise whilst rolling up some indica on the beach?

Something like rust-bitcoin or rust-secp256k1, which probably has much more community support/development, ought to be preferred.

Did you have to scan your eyeballs to use the ruint crate?

No, thankfully not.

Is there anything else to say?

Okay, lessss' go!
