A plethora of clients?

[shady financier]

I was wondering, the essence of bitcoin is in the block-chain right? There's no reason why there can't be many different clients with many different features and interfaces that all can transact or even mine for bitcoins, correct?

Correct.  If you have the skills, go for it.

Would you say we have a plethora clients?

I can't use the word plethora without being reminded of this classic scene from Three Amigos:

I don't yet, but I decided to spend less time on the internet arguing with numskulls and more time learning Python.

Dunno if Python would be a good choice for this sort of thing but I already have a project. More clients on more platforms would be good for bitcoin generally though, people still talking about a bitcoin rival seem to me to be missing some implications of this project, effectively they are talking about rivals to the current clients, not bitcoin itself.

Just my two toshi.

Plethora is one of those words that are happy and pleasant regardless of their usage or meaning.  Like menagerie, hubub and brewhaha.

I just like saying them out loud.
