SETTING UP BTCD FOR A DEV. ENVIRONMENT
btcWallet is a hierarchical deterministic (HD) bitcoin wallet client for a single user. It acts as both an RPC client to btcd and an RPC server for wallet clients and legacy RPC applications. It uses an HD path for address derivation (BIP0044) and encrypts both private keys and public data. You can read more about the wallet on their official repository here.

Help me understand using go libraries btcd/btcec, btcd/btcutil
For the Go code, I modified the code I found online to be able to generate P2PKH address, I believe. I am having a tough time navigating the plethora of functions defined here. I've also looked at the address_test.go to understand if I could get some clue, but I'm having trouble figuring out the intermediate conversions done to the Private Key hex like btcutil.NewAddressPubKeyHash(pkHash, &chaincfg.MainNetParams).
