New Bitcoin-implementation as a backend for Armory?

[Ente]

So I just found Amir's completely independent and new Bitcoin implementation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291581
And then there is at least bitcoinj, where I don't know if it's a "clone to java", or a different implementation too.

I know Armory is in a "hot phase" right now, with crazy much work done and left. But, long-term, I would *love* to see more Bitcoin-implementations, and Armory to support several of them as a backend. Or even several at once, for consensus maybe. I read Armory will be updated to work with remote bitcoind instances.. ;-)

Well, don't mind me, just felt like saying "yay, stuff gettin' better, large-picture changes coming!" :-)

Alan, you are one of the prime assets to Bitcoin!

And to what amount of bitcoins would you *love* to see these implementations?

Yes, I agree that Alan is one our prize value creators.

As far as I understand it, the limiting factor in the development of Armory is the avaliable time of Alan. I would gladly add a Bitcoin to kind of a bounty or the like, but that's probably not the way to go here..
I was already thinking about how to solve that problem, some months ago..
I'll open a new thread about this right away.

Alan, would you like to join us on the discussion where we plan your next years? ;-)
