Simple call to regtest to get balances

regtest balance call

package main

	"os"

func main() {
	// Command-line arguments: address
	if len(os.Args) < 2 {

		return

	address := os.Args[1]

	// Connect to your regtest bitcoind node

		User:         "user",
		Pass:         "password",
		HTTPPostMode: true, // Bitcoin core usually uses HTTP POST
		DisableTLS:   true, // Regtest usually operates without TLS
	}
	client, err := rpcclient.New(connCfg, nil)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error connecting to bitcoind:", err)
		return

	// Display the results
	fmt.Printf("Balance of address %s: %v BTC\n", address, balance)
