Its a complete alternative implementation of the Bitcoin standards written in C++. Sp unlike Knots it *isn't a fork of Core.

I think Amir started it, I know he was an active developer for a long time.

Erik Voriskuil is the lead maintainer now.

Those are the famous guys anyway.

heres the 411

And both Amir and Eric are probably hands down the 2 most intelligent people in the Bitcoin space

I must admit that those guys probably qualify as personal heros

we're not worthy

Their philosophical manifestos alone are one of the only reasons I use X still

Eric who?

lol

just saw that article was written by Vitalik 😂

Haha well vitalik and Amir and Cody built dark wallet together so vitalik probably had pretty solid insight into some things regarding libbitcoin

Also I think EV is working on v4 rn… I’m pretty sure nostr:nprofile1qqspgwdt6s5cz9j74nxdq34a2ed26x0jx99f8tvm6zdds03ng2lvn8cprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wdmksetjv5hxxmmdqyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvawma7x had him on the brink show talking about it a few months back which was great!

oh I had no idea! thx

NP! Amir is the only person on earth who I think is hot so I follow these developments v closely in his honor

lucky guy 💔

I'm already halfway through it. That guy's brain...

Have you read EVs book “Cryptoeconomics”?

It’s the only Bitcoin book I recommend to anyone ever because it’s by far the best technical reader out there

The digital version slaps
