Implementation Notes

This iteration of the implementation is highly experimental. Stability issues are possible.

• Most importantly, tests and proper abstraction of the components are lacking.
• Transaction fees are not calculated per transaction; instead, default constant fees are deducted. This needs to be adjusted.
• The implementation process started with highly relying on the BitcoinJ library. Initial startup is blocking until BitcoinJ syncs up, it can take a long time.
• Failure mechanisms need to be refactored, especially rejected transactions.
