It is astonishing, how the price, the perception of bitcoin github commits coin and the work on the code base can differ. A look into the GIT repository can reveal great insights. Image by EivindPedersen - Source: Almost every project in the cryptocurrency space is open source and provides its codebase in a public GIT repository hosted on GitHub.

The public GIT repository allows everyone to check the code or to bitcoin github commits in the development of the project. GitHub provides several insights for a repository, which enable everyone to see who is contributing and check the current progress of a project.

As the first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin also became and remains the largest one by many factors. It has the largest amount of hashing power to secure the network, is the biggest chain, has the most users as well as the highest value and market cap. Having a look at the GitHub repository adds most developers as well as most frequent commits and merges to the list. From April 10th to May 10th, 39 Authors have contributed new code, 55 issues were closed and bitcoin github commits new ones caught.

Litecoin is a fork of Bitcoin and was bitcoin github commits by forking the code of Bitcoin in In this process, the whole codebase, including the history of contributions, became a new project. The founder of Litecoin, Charlie Lee, changed some attributes like total supply, the hashing algorithm as well as the block time.

The rest of the project remained and remains, very similar to Bitcoin. The Genesis Block of Litecoin was launched in October The Pulse graph of Litecoin shows that the project activity remained active even after the fork of the code. One fascinating aspect about the Litecoin contributions is that several Bitcoin development contributions seem to have found their way into bitcoin github commits Litecoin as well.

Although the contribution history is only shared until and is completely separated from bitcoin github commits point in time, a lot of development contributions were added to both repositories. This resulted in a very similar contribution history of Bitcoin and Litecoin. Bitcoin Cash is another, prominent fork of Bitcoin. Block is the last common block of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. After this block, the Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash Blockchain went separate ways. Since Bitcoin Cash has multiple client implementations, thus various GitHub repositories, it is difficult quantitatively comparing its activity to other projects.

The Bitcoinxt repository shows decent activity, but also shows a different frequency and new contributors, which leads to the assumption that in contrast to LTC and BTC, the deviation of development paths between BTC and BCH is bigger. Bitcoin Cash is wholly separated from Bitcoin, has its own development path and will probably further deviate from the implementation of Bitcoin. Another, and rather a new fork of Bitcoin. Similar to Litecoin, Ravencoin was forked from Bitcoin, changed some of its attributes and launched an entirely new, independent chain.

Key changes include a block reward time of one minute, a change in the number of coins issued, but not the weighted distribution schedule bitcoin github commits the addition of asset creation and messaging capabilities" - Ravencoin Whitepaper. The fork of the codebase on GitHub was done mid, and the Genesis Block was created in January This means that until mid, the contribution history of Bitcoin and Ravencoin is shared, which is reflected in the following statement in the whitepaper:.

The Ravencoin project was launched based on the hard work and continuous effort of over Bitcoin developers who made over 14, commits by the date of the Ravencoin code fork. We are eternally grateful to you for your diligence in making a secure network and for your support of free and open source software development.

The Ravencoin project is built on the foundation you built. The contribution statistics show that, from the moment the repository was forked, Ravencoin started development with its own contribution history and own developers. Similar to BCH there doesn't seem to be any shared development path with Bitcoin anymore.

Bitcoin github commits, Ravencoin doesn't seem to have a significant community of developers. Neither the contributor's graph nor the pulse statistics show a number of developers, contribution volume or frequency which is even remotely comparable to Bitcoin. To be fair, it is a young project, and new developers might start to contribute. Unless this happens, it will only progress very slow and has almost no chance for long-term success.

A look into GIT repositories on GitHub can provide valuable bitcoin github commits and might help to qualify the status of any given project. Furthermore, it can give information on things like the fruitful coexistence of Bitcoin and Bitcoin github commits. In case a project forks into an entirely new path, with new developers and bitcoin github commits approaches to solve problems, such as Bitcoin Cash or Ravencoin, GitHub statistics provide information about the size of the team, the frequency of contribution, and other information crucial to the success of the project.

I hope I was able to provide a sneak peak in regards to how a GitHub repository and its statistics can be useful to bitcoin github commits the state of a project. I appreciate any question or feedback in the comment section below, so feel free to get involved! If you're interested to read about technological aspects of cryptocurrencies, feel free to check you bitcoin github commits of my latest posts:.

You have a minor grammatical mistake in the following sentence: Bitcoin Cash is completely sepparated from Bitcoin, has it's own Developers and will probably further deviate from the implementation of Bitcoin. Bitcoin github commits should be its own instead of bitcoin github commits own. Bitcoin and its forks. Bitcoin BTC Bitcoin github commits the first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin also became and remains the largest one by many factors.

The Lightning Network is a "second layer" payment protocol that operates on top of a blockchain most commonly Bitcoin. It enables instant transactions between participating nodes and has been touted as a solution to the bitcoin scalability problem.

It features a peer-to-peer system for making micropayments of digital cryptocurrency through a network of bidirectional payment channels without delegating custody of funds and minimizing trust of third parties. Normal use of the Lightning Network consists of opening a payment channel by committing a funding transaction to the relevant blockchain, followed by making any number of Lightning transactions that update the tentative distribution of the channel's funds without broadcasting to the blockchain, optionally followed by closing the payment channel by broadcasting the final version of the transaction to distribute the channel's funds.

Joseph Poon and Thaddeus Dryja wrote the Lightning white paper. The specification is available on Github, and its largest contributor is Rusty Russell of Blockstream. The public alpha release of lnd was made on 10 January In December , three different entities working on creating software implementations, ACINQ, Lightning Labs, Blockstream , performed a series of interoperable test transactions.

Payment provider Bitrefill tweeted in December claiming it was the first lightning transaction operating on the Bitcoin network. On January 4, TorGuard became the first VPN provider to accept payments via mainnet Lightning network [7] while covering any potential losses of funds when sending Lightning payments.

In January Blockstream launched a payment processing system for web retailers called "Lightning Charge," and noted that lightning was live on mainnet with 60 nodes operating as of January 18, , and should be considered "in testing.

The released also included Litecoin support. In April , the eclair wallet was removed from the Google Play store for a few days because the app developer lost the private signing key making it unable to be updated for critical bugs. In April , Btcduke. In May , Vaultoro. The exploit used as many node connections as possible to prevent any new connections.

The payment channels allow participants to transfer money to each other without having to make all their transactions public on the blockchain. This is done by penalizing uncooperative participants. When opening a channel, participants must commit an amount in a funding transaction , which is on the blockchain. If we presume a large network of channels on the Bitcoin blockchain, and all Bitcoin users are participating on this graph by having at least one channel open on the Bitcoin blockchain, it is possible to create a near-infinite amount of transactions inside this network.

The only transactions that are broadcast on the Bitcoin blockchain prematurely are with uncooperative channel counterparties. If Alice and Bob have a payment channel, both of them also have a "latest" commitment transaction. A commitment transaction divides the funds from the funding transaction according to the correct allocation between Alice and Bob.

For example, if Alice owns 1. Commitment transactions allow multiple users to participate in a single transaction and thus act as a single entity , using a multi-key system.

Since commitment transactions spend the funding transaction, they must be signed by both partners. Commitment transactions are actually a pair of asymmetrical transactions.

Alice's commitment transaction contains two outputs: The revocable output may be revoked by Bob if Bob knows the revocation key. Bob's commitment transaction is the reverse: The Lightning Network is made up of bidirectional payment channels between two nodes which combined create smart contracts.
