Hi Sean, I support this idea. Are you planning to support most of the common BIP standards. e.g BIP 44, 84 etc ? (It'll make life easy with hardware wallets ). This is the only advance / maintained java bitcoin lib that i have found, but now it seems to be lagging behind js, C# etc.
Github is planning project sponsor. If you are planning to focus on this, can we make a list of things-to-do then let others support those features? I'm happy to sponsor some cost but at this stage can't devote much time. I might help out with UI/UX every now and then. BitcoinJ tutorial/documentation is also outdated, may be we can have better documentation. I can provide 1 or 2 developers but they have no relevant experience and better documentation, tutorials or guidance will help bring new developers. Other relevant projects https://github.com/gary-rowe/trezor-java For Trezor or Hardware integration (*Incomplete*) I'm really looking forward to bring this lib on par with other implementations.
