The problem is there is no other implementation out there which comes near the quality of the code in Bitcoin Core. I am actually eager to try other implementations as well, but something serious, because Bitcoin itself is a payment protocol not something to play with.
I don't think code quality is of a particular problem in alternate implementations, the difficulty of getting it right is simply astronomical. If you attempt to re-implement just transaction signature verification you run into edge cases remarkably quickly, most use of Bitcoin today barely scratches the surface of what was added to Bitcoin for future expansion. https://jonasnick.github.io/blog/2015/05/09/fuzzing-bitcoin-consensus/ _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
