You might be right :) I was not looking for a better implementation. I was looking for the simplest and one of the well-known bitcoin libraries. bitcoinj worked well for me. It is simple to use.

But again, thank you, guys, for offering other good ones. It is appreciated.

I wrote two articles about Bitcoin and Ethereum on medium and hackernoon. Please take a look :)

Nice, haven't heard of this before. Do you happen to know who is overseeing this implementation, and related affiliations?

I did a cursory investigation but it wasn't immediately obvious.
