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.

Mako – a full Bitcoin implementation in C
Call me old school, but I like looking at the number of lines of code to get a feel for how big of a project something is. Mako[1] is 265,618 lines of code. The most widely accepted Bitcoin implementation[2] is 639,074 lines of code. The common Bitcoin implementation is 2.5x bigger and written in a slew of languages. Mako looks like a super-impressive amount of work (and by a single person no less).
