I wasn't specifically referring to BTCD as obscure. A few of the other implementations are only run by one node.

  • Bitcore -> nodejs client originally made by bitpay, still maintained
  • bcoin -> another nodejs client, not-so-maintained anymore
  • Bitcoin Unlimited -> very old - this is now a hardfork
  • Bitcoin Classic -> hardfork

not sure:

  • Bitcoin UASF -> I think this is the BIP-148 client, but tbh this was a long time ago
  • TRB -> this looks very, very odd.

None of these in that list are what you'd look to replace Core(-derived) with. btcd is currently by far the safest bet, but I've myself not ran it for 3 years now, so my experience is outdated.
