Python creates a node by creating a fast, complete cache written in Python

Python: a node to create a fast, complete cache written in Python


Over the past year, a variety of Bitcoin Cash full-node clients have been released using several programming languages. On Wednesday, April 27, software developer Corentin Mercer announced on Twitter the launch of Bitcoin and made it clear that it is "the fastest and easiest Python library" to date. Python is a general-purpose programming language known for its ease of use and was invented in 1991.


The Mercer Bitcoin-Python document explains that the Python nodes for Bitcoin Cash were "extremely bleak" and that the APIs for previous releases were difficult to use and lacked the necessary amount of experimentation and specification. The developer revealed that he had developed the code for Bitcoin Python via Hard Fork from the library of the programmer Ofik Lev, and that he had also used the update of the Bitcash library of Tiran McKinney.


The Bitcoin Python document explains five benefits of the library, such as having a reliable API, the library's compliance with all Bitcoin Cash development protocols, the ability to use it on all major platforms, extensive documentation, and of course, its speed. Mercer says the customer is 100 times faster than the nearest competitor. According to the introduction in the project document, "Bitcoin Python is the fastest cache library written in the Python language and has been designed from the start to be intuitive to understand, easy to use, and with easy-to-read source code."

Alternatives with more blockchain compatibility


The open-source project code is made available on the GitHub repository, and it describes what a node written in Python can support. The specification states that the node features cold storage keys, 25 coins, an exchange rate software interface with cache access, specific signatures, 

optimized transaction fees, and compressed public keys, and provides payment transactions to the P2PKH hash. Python also provides several representations of private keys, which include PEM, WIF, and DER. Mercer credited Bjarn Magnussen's SegWit code for supporting Bitcoin No.143 as well.


The Bitcoin version of Python follows the issuance of a Bitcoin Cash contract written in golang and rested several months before that. Most of the nodes are currently written in C ++, using the original code that Satoshi wrote in 2009. The two predominant nodes on the Bitcoin Cash network consist of ABC at 54.4% and Unlimited with 44%. However,

 since the release of the Bchd client and the Neutrino Wallet, there are roughly 8 nodes in the group. And people tend to develop nodes using languages ​​like Golang, Node.js, and Python because a lot of developers like how easy it is to learn those languages.

 In addition, many web applications use easy-to-use programming languages, and given the ability to communicate between those languages ​​in mind it is possible that these applications become workable with blockchain.


Mercer is an amateur building cryptocurrency applications as he developed other projects such as Blurry Cash, a confused image site that allows you to pay using Bitcoin Cash in order to see the image clearly, and Mercer has also developed an automated buying machine called Bsnack. Python is a new addition to the developer's portfolio and a new testament to his passion for creating high-quality cryptocurrency tools.
