Bitcoin ecosystem and stack

[enet]

The Bitcoin ecosystem and landscape suffers from limited inter-operability. Nicolas Dorier did some great work with NBitcoin: https://github.com/MetacoSA/NBitcoin  NBitcoin offers a lot of features bitcoind and bitcoinJ do not:

• TransactionBuilder to create transactions easily
• Transacting indexing
• Cloud/Azure integration
• OpenAssets
• most BIPs: BIP32, BIP38, ...

I think these kinds of things should be available to the Bitcoin ecosystem as a whole. Is anyone interested in helping building part or all of these functions in Java (and/or C/Python)?

I'm pretty proficient with Java. Given time and sufficient motivation I might be interested in helping out with specific features (specifically those that I understand well, as we're dealing with cryptographic software here)

Something great is the bitcoinconsensus.h library, for verifying transaction signatures. Check https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/script/bitcoinconsensus.cpp This can be installed as a shared library, and language bindings expose this functionality to other languages.

Eventually, we'll have a full consensus library, which will make building these tools much easier and safer.

Can I find some bitcoin infrastructure source code?

https://bitcoincore.org - Is this a right place?

I would advise using the Github repositories for the well-known Bitcoin clients--you can look at either Bitcoin Core (C++ reference client) or bitcoinj (java), among others.

Thanks! I will look.
