Hello World,

I = was working on an intern project in last few weeks which is almost ready fo= r first release. Will be helpful if devs working on Bitcoin Core and .NET p= rojects related to Bitcoin can share feedback. Pieter Wuille and Luke Dashj= r had already shared few things before I started working on this project wh= ich wasn't really positive considering the use of .NET and PowerShell in th= is project. I respect their opinion and agree we could make better applicat= ions however I have tried my best to express the goal I am trying to achiev= e with this project below.

Project repository: https://github.com/prayank23/bitcoin-ps

<= /div>

Project is inspired by Burp Suite and= I want to create a similar application which is only used to test privacy = and security of Bitcoin Core RPC using GUI. I used WPF instead of Avalonia = right now to save time. I will use it in future to make bitcoin-ps cross pl= atform, most of the code will remain same and I have shared a proof of conc= ept in milestones link above in which application works fine on Ubuntu with= no pwsh installed. Hopefully this issue will also be resolved soon: h= ttps://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/issues/4361

Default scripts:
<= br>
1.CPU_RAM_sendtoaddress.ps1 : Check CPU and RAM = usage while using some wallet RPCs multiple times. Results for Ubuntu and W= indows were interesting. For some reason it almost used 100% CPU in Ubuntu.=

2.onlynet_i2p.ps1 := Outbound connections are made to onion peers while onlynet=3Di2p is used w= ithout any proxy

3.l= ock_unspent.ps1 : Check if locked UTXOs are unlocked on restart

4.custom_change_rbf.ps1: Compar= es the inputs for Tx1 and Tx2 where Tx1 is RBF transaction with 1 input, 2 = ouputs (custom change address with label), Tx2 is replacement transaction

Why PowerShell?

1.I have worked on 2 simi= lar projects in past: A basic application for Office 365 admins and support= engineers and One project related to Infosec.
2= .Testing using different languages locally doesn't impact Bitcoin Core or r= equire any changes.
3.Easier to write and devs w= ho use PowerShell scripts in their projects could relate to it, find intere= sting and maybe start contributing to Bitcoin Core.
4.It can be done using bash or maybe python scripts as well. For me usi= ng PowerShell in this project is like meeting a college friend and explorin= g new places.
5.PowerShell Core is open source a= nd works on Linux, Mac etc.

Last but not least, I would like to thank Christopher, Vinay, gue= sts in meetings, other interns and everyone involved in Blockchain Commons.= I have learnt lot of new things during internship. Would suggest everyone = to start with 'Learning Bitcoin from the Command Line' if they have recentl= y started reading about Bitcoin. I wish I could do more projects, will work= on DEX and OfflineTx even after internship ends to complete by end of this= year.
