Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference. These apps run on a custom built blockchain, an enormously powerful shared global infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of property. 
 
This enables developers to create markets, store registries of debts or promises, move funds in accordance with instructions given long in the past (like a will or a futures contract) and many other things that have not been invented yet, all without a middle man or counterparty risk.
 
It allows you to hold and secure ether and other crypto-assets built on Ethereum, as well as write, deploy and use smart contracts. It helps you to design your own currency.

Ethereum - Blockchain APP Platform

A simplified blockchain implementation in Golang

blockchain_go - A simplified blockchain implementation in Golang

btcd is an alternative full node bitcoin implementation written in Go (golang).This project is currently under active development and is in a Beta state. It is extremely stable and has been in production use since October 2013.
 
It properly downloads, validates, and serves the block chain using the exact rules (including consensus bugs) for block acceptance as Bitcoin Core. We have taken great care to avoid btcd causing a fork to the block chain. It includes a full block validation testing framework which contains all of the 'official' block acceptance tests (and some additional ones) that is run on every pull request to help ensure it properly follows consensus. Also, it passes all of the JSON test data in the Bitcoin Core code.
 
One key difference between btcd and Bitcoin Core is that btcd does NOT include wallet functionality and this was a very intentional design decision.This means you can't actually make or receive payments directly with btcd. That functionality is provided by the btcwallet.
