Bitcoin is hard to do anything with if you want to write code that talks direct to nodes
using sockets on port 8333 because the protocol was designed in academia so in many
case us developers are forced to rely on simple to use HTTP API's instead which
then makes it centralized

Good luck hacking it because I cannot even get the time of day from the nodes
without using NBitcoin and wrapping it with my own code but the code is too
big and complicated for me to trust it with a wallet so i guess i am stuck
