Workshop - Bitcoinlib API

Calling on devs & programmers interested in Bitcoin! This is our first technical meetup at Bitcoin Charlotte. We will give a high level overview of how you can use a bitcoin client library, Python's bitcoinlib, to explore the inner workings of bitcoin clients. In this talk we will use a Jupyter notebook to write python that connects back to a bitcoind server. We will explore how we can use bitcoinlib to perform common client actions such as:

• Creating a seed
• Creating a key
• Creating a wallet
• Generating a receive address and receiving bitcoin to that address
• Creating a signed transaction that sends bitcoin to another wallet

The purpose of this talk is to give a high level overview of how a user can explore the bitcoinlib API and serve as a jumping off point for any attendees that are interested in learning more about bitcoin by getting their hands dirty with some code.
