My goal is different. Compatibility with Bitcoin is important as I also = want to deal with Bitcoins, but it is also imperative to be able to create and serve other block = chains with other rules and for those I do not want to carry on the legacy of an antique tool set and a = spaghetti style. Bits of Proof uses scala (akka networking), java (api service), c++ = (leveledb and now libconsensus) and I am eager to integrate secp256k1 (c) as soon as part of consensus. = The choices were made because each piece appears best in what they do.
