* Bump Scala versions Support Scala 2.12.9 and 2.13.0. To make this easier, we delete the `scripts` project. Everything that was in here was covered by content on the website. We also delete the `doc` folder, as that was a remnant from when `scripts` was called `doc`. * Crib uPickle akka-http support while we wait for publish * Fix compiler warnings * Add note on test logging to contribution guide * Reduce duplication in Blockchain implementation * Use Scala 2.12 for website * Introduce compat package object for collections converters * Fix Either compiler warnings * Add sync-chain and create-wallet docs from deleted scripts * Fix rebase goofup |

Philosphy of testkit
The high level of of the bitcoin-s testkit is to mimic provide functionality to test 3rd party applications.
There are other examples of these in the Scala ecosystem like the akka-testkit and slick-testkit.
We use this testkit to test bitcoin-s it self. For instance, our BitcoindRpcClient is tested with the functionality provided in the testkit. A quick example of a useful utility method is BitcoindRpcTestUtil.startedBitcoindRpcClient(). This spins up a bitcoind regtest instance on machine and generates 101 blocks on that node. This gives you the abililty to start spending money immediately with that bitcoind node.
We have similar utility methods for eclair.
Property based testing
There is also a robust set of generators available in the org.bitcoins.testkit.gen package. This allows you to integrate property based testing into your library and feel confident about implementing your application specific logic correctly.
You can see examples of us using these generators inside of testkit in our Private Key test cases
