View source for Btcd

btcd is a full-node implementation in Google Go by Conformal. Its [https://github.com/conformal/btcd project page on GitHub] says:

"It currently properly downloads, validates, and serves the block chain using the exact rules (including bugs) for block acceptance as the reference implementation (bitcoind). [...] btcd does NOT include wallet functionality and this was a very intentional design decision."

See also the &lt;tt&gt;btcd&lt;/tt&gt; tag on [https://blog.conformal.com/tag/btcd/ Conformal's blog], especially the [https://blog.conformal.com/btcd-not-your-moms-bitcoin-daemon/ "ready for public testing" announcement].

Because BTCD uses an alternative consensus implementation, it is vulnerable to breaking consensus and fake confirmation attacks.
