GoBit - Bitcoin in Go - initial alpha uploads

[ThePiachu]

As someone asked me to share my code, I`ve started uploading my alpha version of Bitcoin implementation in Go (GoBit) to GitHub. I hope a few people will find it useful once everything gets online. For now the code is still a work-in-progress, but I'm hoping to get something running on it soon.

Interesting. I haven't worked with Go, but this could kill the cat. Thanks for sharing the code.

Nice.

How to you plan to store the blockchain - which DB?

[ThePiachu]

For the implementation I`m currently working on (a block chain browser to run on Google App Engine), I intend to store everything using Datastore API
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/go/datastore/
For now I haven't been looking into alternatives outside GAE, but from what I heard there are a few good DB libraries out there

(as far as I remember one of the Go developers said that Go has one of the best libraries for one type of databases, don't remember which it was though).

Is this an online wallet?

[ThePiachu]

I'm hoping it will be eventually. For now, I`m working on a Block Explorer, later I'll probably be tackling a pool, and then online wallet.

Moreover, if everything goes well, I'm hoping to enable some Bitcoin protocol communication over HTTP into it, enabling some lightweight applications to be built on top of it all (for example, sending transactions as a POST, getting information about how the next block can look like, etc).

All in all, hoping to get something working out in the next month or two, just have to finish some Script coding and the like.

iirc it is for mongodb, the mgo driver.
+1 from me if you choose it :-)
