Some questions: 1) which resource do you suggest for as a reference for the protocol? 2) which part do you suggest to start with? 3) I was thinking to use btcd as a reference since I'm not familiar with = C++ (bitcoind) 4) are there any other general advice or tips for such endeavours? Thanks in advance.
