Simple command-line interface written in Rust for managing Bitcoin Core (bitcoind) in regtest mode and interfacing with its JSON-RPC API.

This tool helps developers interact with a local Bitcoin node easily—fetching block hashes, inspecting block stats, and exploring regtest mode with both scripted and interactive modes.

---

Features

• Starts and stops a local bitcoind instance in regtest mode
• Fetch latest, previous, and next block hashes
• View basic block statistics via getblockstats
• Interactive CLI mode and command-line argument support
• Built in Rust using clap and bitcoincore-rpc crates
• more Features are being added daily.
