Description

A Bitcoin full node can be run with an alternative implementation written in Go. It is useful for developers, researchers, and node operators who need btcd compatibility or want to test Bitcoin infrastructure outside Bitcoin Core.

This is network daemon software for cryptocurrency infrastructure. It can consume disk, bandwidth, and CPU, and any wallet or RPC integration must be secured carefully before exposing services.

How to run

Commands: btcd
