The documentation website needs a major overhaul. Many of the examples and sample code are not up to date with the latest release.

This is definitely affecting users, see #1786 for example.

I was looking at the readme, and noticed that I couldn't find this method network.parse.private() in the code pycoin/networks/ParseAPI.py.

In the readme at line 58: "same_key = network.parse.private(key.wif())"

All I could find was "def private_key(): which seems to work.

I'd update it in a branch and create a PR but I don't have permissions.

Cheers!

Speaks for itself - I think going forward we need to avoid code in markdown files, and have a sectioned examples folder.. But we need to do better on this front :P

To ensure reproducible results, we filter some blocks:

When computing a balance:
Beancounter only computes balances up-to "current height" - 6 blocks. We discard the last 6 blocks + unconfirmed blocks.

When mapping a timestamp to a block number:
We can only find blocks in the range 6 to current height - 11 (because of the way we take the median).
