NEW: thin SPV client for linux/mac: bitc (code on github)

[fnsa1]

Folks,

I announced the creation of bitc recently:
    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=428765.msg4686381

The code is now on github:
    https://github.com/bit-c/bitc

From the README.md:

bitc is a thin SPV bitcoin client.

• 100% lean C code,
• support for linux and mac platforms,
• console based: uses ncurses,
• home grown async network i/o stack,
• home grown poll loop,
• home grown bitcoin engine,
• supports encrypted wallets,
• multi-threaded,
• valgrind/AddressSanitizer clean.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers.

-M

cool stuff!
Keep up the good work...

i like the pure c thing.
Did you also consider reuse stuff from picocoin? (https://github.com/jgarzik/picocoin)

Thanks for the kind feedback, Jonas.

Yeah, I'm aware of picocoin, and like I mentioned to Jeff privately I was initially interested in learning how the underlying protocol worked, so I developed my own stack from scratch (almost actually, I already had a few building blocks available). Cheers.

Congrats! So sorry I haven't been able to try it out yet. I've looked through the code though, it's very nice and clean.
