A lightweight, reliable transaction indexer integrated into Core would’ve been a game-changer compared to duct-taping Electrum or relying on third-party infra. Instead, dev attention drifted, and we’re left with bloat, memes, and fragmentation.
Wen next bitcoin.review sir ?
Isn't their thing allegedly reducing the codebase?
They are preoccupied with feeding chickens
libbitcoinkernel should hopefully make that more feasible
Blockstream and mempool forks of electors work quite nicely.
Shouldn't be separate software, and there is no authentication on RPC
I think there is some momentum towards that. The chain interface + the work being done on parallelizing indexing might also make this an easier sell.
