How does this compare with https://github.com/conformal/btcwallet ?

@wslh go-bitcoin-multisig is not a full wallet -- it's only a multisig transanction builder, so given the requirements of a multisig transaction (m required keys, n public keys, destination etc.), you can construct a raw multisig transaction. An example where this is useful is for example, in implementing a Bitcoin micropayment channel (https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-guide#micropayment-channel) between a payer and payee -- for example as a server-client solution for micropayments buying content. This is what I'm working on next.

This would be good for api's like chain.com that let you publish a raw transaction. Using this you can generate a transaction and push it to an API to avoid having to keep a whole bitcoin node there.
