Show HN: Bitcoin-Ex, Bitcoin Parser/Node in Elixir/OTP (github.com/justinlynn)
9 points by justinjlynn on June 8, 2015 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment



Hacked this together this weekend. I was inspired by Coinbase's Toshi implementation but I was unhappy with some aspects of the performance and architecture. As I wanted to give Elixir/OTP a proper go, what better non-trivial deep dive than to implement a bitcoin protocol parser and node? This is my first non-hello-world Elixir lib/app and I'm hoping this is useful to others in some way. Discussion, pull requests, and "well, this sucks and here's how to improve it" always welcome. Cheers HN!
