Thanks for the suggestion. This is pretty much what I've got already. I think the issue might be to do with the way that big.Int doesn't appear to use two's complement to encode the varint. Maybe what is happening is that the encoding is isomorphic across say Java, .NET, Python and Ruby, but that the big.Int library in Go is not encoding in the same way. Cheers, Ben
