+Package btcutil provides bitcoin-specific convenience functions and types.
+
+Block Overview
+
+A Block defines a bitcoin block that provides easier and more efficient
+manipulation of raw wire protocol blocks.  It also memoizes hashes for the
+block and its transactions on their first access so subsequent accesses don't
+have to repeat the relatively expensive hashing operations.
+
+Tx Overview
+
+A Tx defines a bitcoin transaction that provides more efficient manipulation of
+raw wire protocol transactions.  It memoizes the hash for the transaction on its
+first access so subsequent accesses don't have to repeat the relatively
+expensive hashing operations.
+
+Address Overview
+
+The Address interface provides an abstraction for a Bitcoin address.  While the
+most common type is a pay-to-pubkey-hash, Bitcoin already supports others and
+may well support more in the future.  This package currently provides
+implementations for the pay-to-pubkey, pay-to-pubkey-hash, and
+pay-to-script-hash address types.
+
+To decode/encode an address:
+
+	// NOTE: The default network is only used for address types which do not
+	// already contain that information.  At this time, that is only
+	// pay-to-pubkey addresses.
+	addrString := "04678afdb0fe5548271967f1a67130b7105cd6a828e03909a67962" +
+		"e0ea1f61deb649f6bc3f4cef38c4f35504e51ec112de5c384df7ba0b8d57" +
+		"8a4c702b6bf11d5f"
+	defaultNet := &chaincfg.MainNetParams
+	addr, err := btcutil.DecodeAddress(addrString, defaultNet)
+	if err != nil {
+		fmt.Println(err)
+		return
+	}
+	fmt.Println(addr.EncodeAddress())
