a little bit of btc love coming your way mate - I don't even develop but I can see the benefit of this being in the community, so thanks for spending the time on it.

Thank you.

is it a Dynamic Shared library (dso/dylib/dll) ?

The build script compiles shared/dynamic libraries for Linux and OSX. There is no Windows support yet. You can build or use the source code any way you want of-course.

Well, just wanted to come back and say that libevent appears to officially support Windows. Hell, there was even a libmemcached v0.42 port for Windows and then I was able to port PushPool to Windows.

Though cbitcoin will likely not be windows friendly. It would be good for any Windows developers to see if they can get it to work in Windows. I understand that the Windows C compiler doesn't support C99 so that will be a problem, though the code can be modified for C89 to compile for Windows or some other compiler can be used if it exists.

BitEagle will be an alternative client. If people want to use it in place of bitcoind (There should be a library and daemon interface) they can, but if they want to keep bitcoind then that's up to them. So "displace" isn't the word.

Feel free to be better than what's out there. Ha.

Do you plan on displacing Bitcoind with your implementation?

Thanks, hopefully things will progress faster considering I've learned a lot but testing is often the most tedious part.

You know what would be cool? Some kind of a bitcoin standard test-bench, with predefined addresses, keys, transactions and so on, that all clients in all languages could use as a reference for testing.

good idea!

Amazing work @MatthewLM, expect some pull-requests coming in

Thanks. Contributions are very much welcome. Look out for " Huh

" in comments. I put " Huh

" wherever I'm unsure about something or I think something could be improved. Be wary of the documentation which is incomplete and wrong is areas (Contributions to improved documentation would be helpful).

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that many of the people involved in the Ponzi schemes are not involved with the Bitcoin community at all.

I don't believe you'd have to go out too far on the limb.

Cool stuff, keep it up!

Btw quick question, is BitEagle going to be a standalone client or a light client?

BitEagle will use SPV combined with a server-side full node. The server is there to behave as a trusted node to protect against attacks against your internet connection. Unlike some people have misbelieved this does not mean the security depends on the server because the client software will still do SPV validation on the bitcoin network. I will release the server-side full validation code as open-source so someone could make a fully validating client with it. With BitEagle I'm aiming to provide an intelligent mixture of security and convenience. More details will follow at a later date since it's still quite conceptual at this stage.

Donation sent. This is an excellent project.

Thank you very much for the donation. And I hope to ensure that this is a worthy project. ;-)

Donation sent. This is an excellent project. I'm amazed that people have btc to throw into ponzis but none for worthy projects that would benefit their own bitcoin holdings in the long term.

Imagine what 500,000 bitcoins would have built?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that many of the people involved in the Ponzi schemes are not involved with the Bitcoin community at all. They are simply buying BTC to get in on the schemes.

I did take many of the script tests from the C++ bitcoin client and I should look at the other tests to add to mine, though sometimes it complicated trying to copy from C++ client.

congrats for following through on this!

Still got a lot to do, especially with BitEagle but I'll get through it all... eventually. I've got some exciting stuff planned.
