Script().writeOp('OP_CHECKMULTISIG'), or...
Script().writeOp(174), or...
Script().writeBuffer([push data buffer]), or...
Script().write([op string, number, or push data buffer])
These convenience methods let you easily write a script.
For spotting transactions to which you have the stealth key (or at least the
scan key) and creating transactions to a stealth address. So far it is only
partially working - you can see if a transaction is a stealth transaction (or
at least one of a limited kind of stealth transactions), and you can see that
you do not have the stealth key to spend one of these transactions. However, I
have not yet tested whether you can see a stealth transaction that you actually
have the key to. Also, it is not yet easy to spend to a stealth address.
These functions are prefixed DW which stands for Dark Wallet. The code for the
Dark Wallet address format can be found here:
https://github.com/darkwallet/darkwallet/blob/develop/js/util/stealth.js
Note that I deliberately support only the simplest possible format, which is
where there is only one payload pubkey and the prefix is blank. I should now go
back and replace my old toString, fromString, toBuffer, fromBuffer functions
with these Dark Wallet versions, since they are much more well-thought out than
mine.
For Transaction, Block and Blockheader. This is a convenience so if you happen
to have the buffer for one of these, you can make a new one like this:
Transaction(txbuf);
Rather than having to do this:
Transaction().fromBuffer(txbuf);
I had been using this formula for the receiveKeypair:
scanKeypair + payloadKeypair + sharedKeypair
However, Dark Wallet uses this formula:
payloadKeypair + sharedKeypair
It is not actually necessary to add the scanKeypair in order to have all the
features of stealth addresses, at least as far as I can tell. So in order to
bring my implementation closer to Dark Wallet's, I have removed the scanKeypair
from this calculation.
bitcoind saves blocks in files called blk*****.dat. Those files can be piped
into this example, which will parse them and spit out a nice looking string of
all the blocks, which also includes parsed transactions.
