Interface Summary

BlockChainListener	Implementors can be connected to a BlockChain and have its methods called when various things happen that modify the state of the chain, for example: new blocks being received, a re-org occurring, or the best chain head changing.
PeerEventListener	Implementors can listen to events like blocks being downloaded/transactions being broadcast/connect/disconnects, they can pre-filter messages before they are procesesed by a Peer or PeerGroup, and they can provide transactions to remote peers when they ask for them.
PeerFilterProvider	An interface which provides the information required to properly filter data downloaded from Peers.
TransactionBroadcaster	A general interface which declares the ability to broadcast transactions.
TransactionConfidence.Listener	A confidence listener is informed when the level of TransactionConfidence is updated by something, like for example a Wallet.
WalletEventListener	Implementors are called when the contents of the wallet changes, for instance due to receiving/sending money or a block chain re-organize.
WalletExtension	An object implementing this interface can be added to a Wallet and provide arbitrary byte arrays that will be serialized alongside the wallet.

Class Summary

AbstractBlockChain	An AbstractBlockChain holds a series of Block objects, links them together, and knows how to verify that the chain follows the rules of the NetworkParameters for this chain.
AbstractBlockChainListener	Default no-op implementation of BlockChainListener.
AbstractPeerEventListener	Convenience implementation of PeerEventListener.
AbstractWalletEventListener	Convenience implementation of WalletEventListener.
Address	A Bitcoin address looks like 1MsScoe2fTJoq4ZPdQgqyhgWeoNamYPevy and is derived from an elliptic curve public key plus a set of network parameters.
AddressMessage	Represents an "addr" message on the P2P network, which contains broadcast IP addresses of other peers.
AlertMessage	Alerts are signed messages that are broadcast on the peer-to-peer network if they match a hard-coded signing key.
Base58	Base58 is a way to encode Bitcoin addresses as numbers and letters.
BitcoinSerializer	Methods to serialize and de-serialize messages to the Bitcoin network format as defined in the protocol specification.
BitcoinSerializer.BitcoinPacketHeader
Block	A block is a group of transactions, and is one of the fundamental data structures of the Bitcoin system.
BlockChain	A BlockChain implements the simplified payment verification mode of the Bitcoin protocol.
BloomFilter	A Bloom filter is a probabilistic data structure which can be sent to another client so that it can avoid sending us transactions that aren't relevant to our set of keys.
CheckpointManager	Vends hard-coded StoredBlocks for blocks throughout the chain.
ChildMessage	Represents a Message type that can be contained within another Message.
DownloadListener	An implementation of AbstractPeerEventListener that listens to chain download events and tracks progress as a percentage.
DumpedPrivateKey	Parses and generates private keys in the form used by the Bitcoin "dumpprivkey" command.
ECKey	Represents an elliptic curve public and (optionally) private key, usable for digital signatures but not encryption.
ECKey.ECDSASignature	Groups the two components that make up a signature, and provides a way to encode to DER form, which is how ECDSA signatures are represented when embedded in other data structures in the Bitcoin protocol.
EmptyMessage	Parent class for header only messages that don't have a payload.
FilteredBlock	A FilteredBlock is used to relay a block with its transactions filtered using a BloomFilter.
FullPrunedBlockChain	A FullPrunedBlockChain works in conjunction with a FullPrunedBlockStore to verify all the rules of the Bitcoin system, with the downside being a larg cost in system resources.
GetAddrMessage	Represents the "getaddr" P2P protocol message, which requests network AddressMessages from a peer.
GetBlocksMessage	Represents the "getblocks" P2P network message, which requests the hashes of the parts of the block chain we're missing.
GetDataMessage	Represents the "getdata" P2P network message, which requests the contents of blocks or transactions given their hashes.
GetHeadersMessage	The "getheaders" command is structurally identical to "getblocks", but has different meaning.
HeadersMessage	A protocol message that contains a repeated series of block headers, sent in response to the "getheaders" command.
InventoryItem
InventoryMessage	Represents the "inv" P2P network message.
ListMessage	Abstract superclass of classes with list based payload, ie InventoryMessage and GetDataMessage.
MemoryPool	Tracks transactions that are being announced across the network.
MemoryPoolMessage	The "mempool" message asks a remote peer to announce all transactions in its memory pool, possibly restricted by any Bloom filter set on the connection.
Message	A Message is a data structure that can be serialized/deserialized using both the Bitcoin proprietary serialization format and built-in Java object serialization.
NetworkParameters	NetworkParameters contains the data needed for working with an instantiation of a Bitcoin chain.
NotFoundMessage	Sent by a peer when a getdata request doesn't find the requested data in the mempool.
PartialMerkleTree	A data structure that contains proofs of block inclusion for one or more transactions, in an efficient manner.
Peer	A Peer handles the high level communication with a Bitcoin node, extending a PeerSocketHandler which handles low-level message (de)serialization.
PeerAddress	A PeerAddress holds an IP address and port number representing the network location of a peer in the Bitcoin P2P network.
PeerGroup	Runs a set of connections to the P2P network, brings up connections to replace disconnected nodes and manages the interaction between them all.
PeerSocketHandler	Handles high-level message (de)serialization for peers, acting as the bridge between the com.google.bitcoin.net classes and Peer.
Ping
Pong
Sha256Hash	A Sha256Hash just wraps a byte[] so that equals and hashcode work correctly, allowing it to be used as keys in a map.
StoredBlock	Wraps a Block object with extra data that can be derived from the block chain but is slow or inconvenient to calculate.
StoredTransactionOutput	A StoredTransactionOutput message contains the information necessary to check a spending transaction.
StoredUndoableBlock	Contains minimal data neccessary to disconnect/connect the transactions in the stored block at will.
Transaction	A transaction represents the movement of coins from some addresses to some other addresses.
TransactionBroadcast	Represents a single transaction broadcast that we are performing.
TransactionConfidence	A TransactionConfidence object tracks data you can use to make a confidence decision about a transaction.
TransactionInput	A transfer of coins from one address to another creates a transaction in which the outputs can be claimed by the recipient in the input of another transaction.
TransactionOutPoint	This message is a reference or pointer to an output of a different transaction.
TransactionOutput	A TransactionOutput message contains a scriptPubKey that controls who is able to spend its value.
TransactionOutputChanges	TransactionOutputChanges represents a delta to the set of unspent outputs.
UnknownMessage
UnsafeByteArrayOutputStream	An unsynchronized implementation of ByteArrayOutputStream that will return the backing byte array if its length == size().
Utils	A collection of various utility methods that are helpful for working with the Bitcoin protocol.
VarInt	A variable-length encoded integer using Satoshis encoding.
VersionAck	The verack message, sent by a client accepting the version message they received from their peer.
VersionedChecksummedBytes	In Bitcoin the following format is often used to represent some type of key:
VersionMessage	A VersionMessage holds information exchanged during connection setup with another peer.
Wallet	A Wallet stores keys and a record of transactions that send and receive value from those keys.
Wallet.SendRequest	A SendRequest gives the wallet information about precisely how to send money to a recipient or set of recipients.
Wallet.SendResult	A SendResult is returned to you as part of sending coins to a recipient.
