Bitcoin Knots: This is developed by Luke Dash Jr and has some experimental features that sometimes are added into the Core client: https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin
Libbitcoin: I think this one was founded by Amir Taaki: https://github.com/libbitcoin/libbitcoin

I would reconsider these two also.


  • Bitcoin Knots is not a re-implementation AFAIA, just a forked version of the standard Bitcoin client with additional features (no consensus breaking features)
  • Libbitcoin is supposedly just a library, if that's correct then it shouldn't be possible to execute libbitcoin as a client in it's own right

It depends on how specific you want your remit to be.
