1 It looks like cryptocurrency related packages are ending up in one of two
2 places: net-misc or net-p2p. The latter seems to be by virtue of the fact
3 that,
4 as an implementation detail, most cryptocurrency networks are peer-to-peer
5 in
6 nature.

8 A (very) cursory look at the Gentoo ebuild repository shows:
9
10 net-misc/bfgminer
11 net-misc/electron-cash
12 net-misc/electrum
13 net-misc/electrum-ltc
14 net-p2p/bitcoin-cli
15 net-p2p/bitcoind
16 net-p2p/bitcoin-qt
17 net-p2p/litecoind
18
19 There are probably more, but this is what I could find quickly and easily.
20 Wouldn't it make more sense to silo these ebuilds (and similar) under
21 something
22 like fintech instead?
