It would be extremely useful if algorand implemented a bitcoin RPC compatibility layer.

This will help very much with exchange listing, you will be listed on more exchanges more quickly in this way.

This does not need 100% coverage and should be fairly straightforward. I can be more precise if you’re open to the idea but it is not difficult to guess what kind of functionality an exchange requires, mostly around wallet.
