surprised this doesn't exist yet

me. I selected the bitcoin track at ChainCode labs this January. dayjob has been keeping me busy from doing much with my knowledge

More the merrier

I’m almost sure there is a project already? I’ll try and poke around after the fiat mining is done to see if I’m smoking something good or there actually is one. I would love to see three or four new implementations. Centralized software is just as bad as centralized services.

yeah, maybe once rustc does reproducible builds. Also Floresta exists, did not try it yet.

I was just thinking this needs to happen the other day.

I would lurk this repo constantly

I want a libbitcoin full node that does a sub 1hr IBD

Might love to hear that Monero has a new Rust full node implemenation called Cuprate. It's currently in beta.

I would love to be part of this project. 🧡

I don't know what this is written in, but check it out: https://docs.raspiblitz.org/

Yes!

Isn't BDK in rust?

Yes please. Am going to be using IPC in the new multi-process Core releases for mining templates. A full node could have this as a feature flag.

Have you looked at Floresta? https://github.com/vinteumorg/Floresta

Hi, can we get along?

Honestly I've been working on one as my side project. But I'm keeping it to myself until I kink out most of the bugs. 😂 Its nowhere near usuable for the normal person. But its been a fun ride so far tbh.

@ODELL - this sounds like something opensats should fund as an alternative to both Core and Knots.
