btcd VS bcoin

Following the instructions on their official repo, first, install go and check the version with go version, root path, and path with go env GOROOT GOPATH.

This dude caused all LND nodes to stop syncing recently with a single transaction costing less than $5 - https://twitter.com/brqgoo. Issues been patched recently. Theres others, will need to dig in order to find again.

the main one i know of btcd is written in Go and sees a lot of use from what I understand: https://github.com/btcsuite/btcd

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).

Port Bitcoin Tech to Peercoin, the World's First Green Blockchain (Opportunity for Ongoing Role) The Peercoin Foundation is looking to hire a developer experienced in both Go and Bitcoin. Peercoin is a cryptocurrency forked from Bitcoin that was launched ten years ago in 2012. It is responsible for inventing Proof of Stake consensus, the world's first green blockchain technology.

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.

You can just submit your changes to the Bitcoin core repo https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin or you can fork it and create your own version. You can even just use/change one of the alternative implementations: https://github.com/bcoin-org/bcoin

I'm not sure what you mean by "truly separate", but our hot wallets are indeed separate wallets, both running on top on bcoin.io

bcoin

My first bitcoin reimplementation was written in node.js and called bcoin[1]. So this is my second time reimplementing the bitcoin protocol, albeit in a very different language.

Bcoin was frequently used as a reference along with bitcoin core v0.8.0-v0.11.0 when I felt like double checking consensus functions (among other things).

As an aside, I personally think bitcoin core v0.8.0 is the best version of core if you want to learn bitcoin from it. It's a lot more straightforward than later versions. I personally don't enjoy reading any version beyond v0.11.0.

This is also the reason mako doesn't support taproot yet. That code is very new and isn't present in upstream bcoin. I could try to implement it from the BIPs alone, but I won't know what intricacies are present in the actual bitcoin core code until I actually read it.

Hey guys, Is there a way to run a bitcoin-core program (like https://github.com/bcoin-org/bcoin) without downloading the blockchain?
