Another client is useful, especially since the current Bitcoin client is a big mess. I was shocked that cryptography code looked like this.

I’d like to hear some specific criticisms of the code. To me it looks like an impressive job, although I’d wish for more comments. Now I’ve mostly studied the init, main, script and a bit of net modules. This is some powerful machinery.

I agree.  Actually I’m amazed this is the product of only one person’s work.

That means a lot coming from you, Hal.  Thanks.
