 This is a bitcoin library that provides tools/utilities to interact with the Bitcoin network. One of the primary goals of the library is to explain the low-level details of Bitcoin. The code is easy to read and properly documented explaining in detail all the thorny aspects of the implementation. It is a low-level library which assumes some high-level understanding of how Bitcoin works. In the future this might change.
 
-This is an early version of the library (v0.4.9) and currently, it supports private/public keys, all type of addresses and creation of any transaction (incl. segwit) with all SIGHASH types. All script op codes are included. Timelock and non-standanrd transactions are supported. Currently, a simple node proxy exists to enable easy calls to a Bitcoin core node. Extra functionality will be added continuously and the documentation will be improved as the work progresses.

 The API documentation can be build with Sphinx but is also available as a PDF for convenience. One can currently use the library for experimenting and learning the inner workings of Bitcoin. It is not meant for production yet and parts of the API might be updated with new versions.
