Title: Bitcoin Hacker's Toolkit
Post by: cuddlefish on May 11, 2011, 01:18:20 AM
So I have this Python library. It does what Satoshi's client doesn't.

Custom scripts? Sure.
Redeem weird transactions? Okay.
Odd block-acceptance rules? No problem.
Being a douche and sending your transactions to hundreds of nodes at a time? :/ okay.

Is there interest?

Oh, and encrypted wallets? Fine.

Sure, I'd like to see a lot more banging on the testnet to try to break it.

(python code is not obfuscated, I assume).

Sounds cool, you could merge it with bitcointools and have a full suite of bitcoin hacking stuff.

Definitely interested.

The more tools we can use to prove bitcoin's strength the better.

I'm definitely interested, if only to see an implementation of the Bitcoin protocol in the Python language.

I have a implementation of most of the wire protocol here (http://gitorious.org/pycoin).
