Implementation of a Bitcoin hierarchical deterministric wallet (BIP32) in Haskell

haskoin-wallet

This package provides a command line application called hw (haskoin wallet). It is a lightweight bitcoin wallet featuring BIP32 key management, deterministic signatures (RFC-6979) and first order support for multisignature transactions. Both Haskell and REST APIs are exposed for the wallet.

This package also provides an SPV (simple payment verification) node.
