Title: bitcoin-java, a new bitcoin library
Post by: bitcoinbeto on November 25, 2021, 12:06:29 AM
Hello,

I'm posting to divulge a new open-source Bitcoin library written in Java, including support for taproot single key transactions: https://github.com/bitcoin-education/bitcoin-java.

My main motivation to build this library was for educational purposes. Also, I was missing a lean bitcoin library written in Java, since I think bitcoinj too feature-heavy. I don't intend to include features that allow communication with nodes nor any online features in it. I think it will be another option for developers that want to build a wallet in Java or other JVM languages.

Current features of the library:
- Generate BIP39 mnemonic seeds
- Derive extended keys
- Generate Base58, Bech32 and Bech32m addresses
- Create and sign Segwit, and non Segwit transactions (multi and single sig)
- Create and sign taproot single-sig transactions
- and more...

Feedback, PRs, and issues are welcome and appreciated.
