mako VS btcd

Mako is written in C Core and some other variants are discussed in the /u/bitusher comment

There is a thread about mako, which is a new implementation, in this sub right now.

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).

[3] How I calculated: find -type f | sed 's/.*/"&"/' | xargs wc -l

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).

Salary: Competitive salary. Reach out to discuss. 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.
