nice to see btcd getting more usage, goldmar :) for the related blog entry with some more details, check out http://markgoldenstein.com/building-websocket-client-btcwallet-using-scala-akka/ http://markgoldenstein.com/building-websocket-client-btcwall... we just recently released a small library that makes using the JSON-RPC much easier, and it should work with both bitcoind and btcd https://github.com/conformal/btcrpcclient https://github.com/conformal/btcrpcclient this makes some of the things mark mentioned a bit less painful, e.g. marshal/unmarshaling the JSON, error handling, async replies. it is in go, so it might not be immediately useful to scala devs.

Wow, nice to see you commenting here! btcd / btcwallet was an obvious choice since I wanted notification support. It's an impressive piece of work that you've created, and I really like the modular project design. At first I was worried that there was no documentation (yet) for btcwallet but the code is simple enough to understand even though I didn't know Go before. btcctl is also really helpful. I only found out about it today though. Before that I've used curl and httpie and that was not very convenient.
