Re: I don't like Gavin's and Jeff's Bitcoin client - can I write my own?
Or just make a GUI as a front-end for bitcoind, no need to edit the original code at all, just send API commands to the daemon.
This isn't practical. Spesmilo does it, but it's retardedly inefficient due to the poor design of JSON-RPC.I dislike the thread title, because I am but one of a herd of core devs under our lead dev, Gavin. It's either "Satoshi's client" or "the People's FOSS client" or "Gavin's client" or "Gavin/tcatm/sipa/BlueMat/jgarzik's client"........
bitcoind and wxBitcoin are sensible names. 
As a core developer of Spesmilo, I'd be interested to see more node/wallet implementations
