[bisq-network/bisq-desktop] Feasibility for replacing Bitcoinj with Bitcoin Core SPV (#1062)

[Manfred Karrer]

Ah thanks for the info regarding the ABCore project . Have not heard about that.
Though as a full Bisq version for Mobile is not really planned we have lower requirements than most other projects.
 
We might be able to integrate Bitcoin Core the same way like we integrate the Tor binary (Bisq starts the shipped Tor binary as new process and talks via a TPC interface to it, for Bitcoin Core we could use RPC and/or ZeroMQ). I think that would give the good performance of a native app and we are always in sync with latest reference client.

If that approach does not work (if the SPV model of Bitcoin Core is not feasible regarding resource behaviour) we should maybe get in touch with Samurai Wallet and Mycelium developers. They share a lot our mindset regarding privacy and at least Samurai Wallet has already implemented SegWit.

I am in touch with a BitcoinJ developer who has signaled to be interested to work on Bisq after he has completed a current project (ends around August).
