    Privacy-Preserving Bitcoin Light Client (by lightninglabs)

  • I’m referring to this: https://github.com/lightninglabs/neutrino which is the reference neutrino implementation.

  • parity-bitcoin

    The Parity Bitcoin client

  • parity-bitcoin had shown little interest in using libbitcoin-consensus (which could be problematic when using it for mining/consensus) - https://github.com/paritytech/parity-bitcoin/issues/404 . SPV clients can avoid thinking about much of this. A Rust light-client might get some more uptake.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
