I didn't know about this Swift implementation of Bitcoin. All you Apple people might find this interesting.
The software package is itself built entirely using The Swift Programming Language with the exception of the Elliptic Curve Cryptography part which is outsourced to libsecp256k1.
The framework which includes many functionally distinct libraries can be used as part of any project targeting UNIX/Linux or Apple Platforms (e.g. iOS). It is primarily intended for Swift development although it can easily be integrated into other CMake-based projects.
Says it is still under development, but looks like it You can check out the code at their repo: https://github.com/swift-bitcoin/swift-bitcoin
Also the lead developer goes by the nym craigwrong on X, which is pretty cool!
And as @0xbitcoiner just pointed out: craigwrong is on SN (https://stacker.news/notcraigwright)! And posted about his project here: #1378796
Wasn’t necessary to forward the sats to me, but thanks anyway!
Swift Bitcoin - full node implementation and multiplatform library for Swift #1378796
Great I’m learning swift now! Haven’t given up on my dream of making an iOS native app for SN!
I was with Apple because I didn't yet know how bad it was – now I'm moving on. Looking back, their actions were never favorable to Bitcoin.
