Hi,
I have read this article:
btcd: A Full Alternative Bitcoin Implementation, Written In Go
http://bitcoinmagazine.com/btcd-a-full-bitcoin-alternative-written-in-go
and I wonder if this could be a way to have Bitcoin in the Plan9 environment.
The project it is not yet released but some part are available:
https://github.com/conformal/btcwire/blob/master/README.md
The program is licensed under the liberal ISC License.

do you /really/ need Yet Another Networked Filesystem in Plan9? ;-)

the way i see it -- bitcoin is a distributed, append-only, content-addressable
filesystem with eventual consistency. ostensibly designed for transferring
coins, but can just as well house arbitrary binary data , be it a portrait and
a tribute to departed people [1] or alternative DNS [2].

What about Plan9? They have a port of Go but I don ‘t know what kind
of dependencies this program has.

The only dependency we are using that is not native Go is the sqlite3
binding for the block database. I know there is a sqlite3 port for
Plan 9, so, while I don’t believe any of us have tried it on Plan 9, I
don’t see any reason it won’t work there as well.

if this is like many sql-lite-using programs i've seen, it may be simplier

and more robust to save data in a flat file format.
