Hey team, thanks for the amazing lib, I was wondering if there was any "getting started" tutorial somewhere. The only resource I could find online is the following: https://gobitcoinbook.org/

Hey Adem. It depends on what your goals are. This is a pure library, nothing that can be executed on its own. There are other projects like https://github.com/btcsuite/btcwallet (which lnd uses for its internal on-chain wallet) and https://github.com/btcsuite/btcd which depend on this library. Those projects should have a bit more documentation on how to get started.

Hey Oliver :) Got it, thanks for the clarification, will check the 2 libraries you mentioned! Keep up the great work!
