Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

Description

An interface to bitcoind's JSON-RPC API.

This library is obsolete, unsupported, and may not even work anymore.

If you feel like adopting it, be my guest.

The source is available here.

Requirements

Usage

Function names and signatures match those listed in the bitcoind API reference. JSON responses are translated into Scheme datatypes according to medea's conversion rules.

When an error response is received from bitcoind, an exception of type (exn bitcoin) is raised.
