Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Create three public keys from those private keys using the privtopub function."

A block of code is set as follows:

# Generate Public Key
my_public_key = privtopub(my_private_key)
print("Public Key: %s\n" % my_public_key)

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

pip install bitcoin

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "The screenshot shows the statistical data (DATA | Stats)"
