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).

Is Bitcoin the best at anything? Anonymity? Security? Transaction cost? Transaction speed? Etc.
Anyone. Also, there isn't just one implementation of Bitcoin. There are several implementations of the protocol in different programming languages, but they all stick to the same rules. btcd for example is written in Go, while Haskoin is written in Haskell.

Native Android support for Bitcoin Core (full node)
There have been other ways to run Bitcoin Core on Android, for example with ABCore 2, but the project has been abandoned since 2019, and in general was just a wrapper for bitcoind rather than an official build for Android. With this release Bitcoin Core is officially supported for Android, and it will make further development and testing much more real!
