Module bitcoin::util::merkleblock

Merkle Block and Partial Merkle Tree

Support proofs that transaction(s) belong to a block.

Examples

use bitcoin::hash_types::Txid;
use bitcoin::hashes::hex::FromHex;
use bitcoin::{Block, MerkleBlock};

// Get the proof from a bitcoind by running in the terminal:
// $ TXID="5a4ebf66822b0b2d56bd9dc64ece0bc38ee7844a23ff1d7320a88c5fdb2ad3e2"
// $ bitcoin-cli gettxoutproof [\"$TXID\"]
