Current implementation only supports regtest and wallet txs #1

gettransaction is limited, since it can only retrieve wallet txs. Even if getrawtransaction is used, prior receiving addresses ('from' addresses) need to be identified for UTXOs, and -txindex is required so pruning will not be possible.

The current code needs to be extended with an 'address index', preferably https://github.com/bitcoinjs/indexd. This will allow for per-address per-txo queries to be readily executed against the chain history.

This can be run via indexd-server, see: https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/indexd-server#utxos-endpoint

Code will need to use the UTXOs endpoint instead of standard RPCs in order to function in a testnet environment.
