Libbtc is a very portable C library for creating and manipulating bitcoin data structures and interacting with the p2p network.
- Generating and storing private and public keys
- ECDSA secp256k1 signing and verification (through libsecp256k1 included as git subtree)
- Generate recoverable signatures (and recover pubkey from signatures)
- BIP32 hierarchical deterministic key derivation
- Transaction generation, manipulation, signing and ser-/deserialization including P2PKH, P2SH, multisig
- Address generation
- Base58check encoding
- Native implementation of SHA256, SHA512, SHA512_HMAC, RIPEMD-160 including NIST testvectors
- Native constant time AES (+256CBC) cipher implementation including NIST testvectors
- Keystore (wallet) databases (through logdb https://github.com/liblogdb/liblogdb)
- Event based bitcoin P2P client capable of connecting to multiple nodes in a single thread (requires libevent)
- No dependencies in case no p2p network client is required (only dependency is libsecp256k1 added as git subtree)
- The only dependency for the p2p network client is libevent (very portable)
- optimized for MCU and low mem environments
- ~full test coverage
- mem leak free (valgrind check during CI)

This tools can be used to broadcast a raw transaction to peers retrived from a dns seed or specified by ip/port. The application will try to connect to max 6 peers, send the transaction two two of them and listens on the remaining ones if the transaction has been relayed back.
