Gocoin

An open-source Bitcoin solution written in Go language (golang).

Can be built for every platform that has a working Go compiler.

Gocoin is licensed under GPL version 3.

Features

Client

• All the unspent outputs are kept in memory, so switching between different wallets is very fast.
• Allows a user to limit the upload and download network bandwidth used by the client.

Wallet

• For security reasons, it is supposed to be used with an offline (never connected to a network) PC.
• The wallet is deterministic and a seed password based, so as long as you remember the seed password, you do not need to backup it, ever.
• Additionally you can import private keys for your existing bitcoin wallet.
• Has very low hardware requirements, so you can use it with i.e. Raspberry Pi

Requirements

The client node requires 64-bit platform and at least 4GB of system memory.

Limitations

• No GUI
• Works only with entire (mined) blocks - does not rely transactions, except from sending own transactions to the network
• Requires a file system that supports large files (bigger than 4GB)
