stars:>100 forks:>50
bitcoin OR wallet stars:>100 forks:>50 in:file extension:md bitcoin

We use the GitHub search function and select the forks number in reverse order, query:

Bitcoin Language:javascript

Note: Each fork behind may be a brand new product, forks represents the situation that the program was developed two times, and personally feel that the technology selection is relatively more convincing.

The first 10 applications are as follows:

1. Bitpay/bitcore 1656 stars, 429 branches

Source URL: Https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore

First, this is the BitPay team of products, known as the next generation of PayPal. This is a successful case, it is evident that node.js the feasibility of developing encrypted currency.

2. Startup-class/bitstarter-leaderboard 295 stars, 386 branches

Source URL: Https://github.com/startup-class/bitstarter-leaderboard

Second, this is a web based on bitcoin development of the template program. Babbitt was doing a lot of things, and many people wanted to get into the field, so they could refer to learning.

3. Bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib 980 Stars, 305 branches

Source URL: Https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib

Third, this is a Bitcoin web wallet development kit, almost all of the web-based wallets currently available on the market are in use, Ox x bar.

4. Askmike/gekko 866 stars, 300 branches

Source URL: Https://github.com/askmike/gekko

Fourth, do you want to launch a web-based trading market like the Times and Okcoin, this code should not be missed. However, I personally think that the trading market is not only a technical issue, Gekko also remind you to take risks at your own peril.

5. Bitpay/insight-ui 354 stars, 267 branches

Source URL: Https://github.com/bitpay/insight-ui

Fifth, this is the BitPay release of a web wallet development of the UI package (to be based on Bitcoin-node), it seems that the current development of wallet demand is still relatively large. It can be developed in conjunction with the 7th-ranked Bitpay/insight-api.

6. Kyledrake/coinpunk 733 stars, 249 branches

Sixth, the project is a localized wallet service program that has ceased to be maintained and replaced by the 3rd-bit bitcoinjs-lib.

7. BITPAY/INSIGHT-API (abbreviated)

8. Cjb/gittorrent 3065 Stars, 133 branches

Source URL: https://github.com/cjb/GitTorrent

Eighth place, but its praise of 3065 stars is the highest. This is a GitHub, and the author wrote a blog detailing why Git has to be centered. I personally think that this project is really interesting, for us to develop the products to the central expansion of the vision. Based on this project idea, a lot of valuable applications can be conceived.

9. Bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-server

Source URL: Https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-server

Nineth Place, has given up the maintenance.

Untitled-dice/untitled-dice.github.io 26 stars, 114 branches

Source URL: Https://github.com/untitled-dice/untitled-dice.github.io Tenth, a bit-currency based gambling website source code. Interestingly, users rated 26 stars, very low, indicating that people's values still do not like gambling. But there are many copies of the branch, for developers, this is a bit of a landing application.

In fact, there are many applications, there is no open source, or half open source, not much attention, little known. Conclusions

Only the above data analysis, we can draw the following conclusion: in the whole open source community, Node.js well-deserved is one of the most popular development platform, in the wallet, trading market and other client applications, Node.js application is more extensive; in the core code development of cryptographic currency, The application of Node.js is much less than the use of python,java,c/c++ and other development languages.

However, because JavaScript has a large number of user groups, with the development and popularization of cryptographic currency, there will be more node.js developers to join. Choose Node.js, just like the original choice of Bitcoin, as the first batch of users of practice, we have stood in the forefront of the times.
