    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

  • Mako – a full Bitcoin implementation in C
    14 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Nov 2021
    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.
