- arkpar (Arkadiy Paronyan) Mix, PV61/BlockQueue
- debris (Marek Kotewicz) JSONRPC, web3.js
- CJentzsch (Christoph Jentzsch) tests, lots of tests
- LefterisJP (Lefteris Karapetsas) Solidity, libethash
- chriseth (Christian Reitwiessner) Solidity
- subtly (Alex Leverington) libp2p, rlpx
- yann300 (Yann Levreau) Mix
- LianaHus (Liana Husikyan) Solidity
- chfast (Paweł Bylica) EVMJIT
- cubedro (Marian Oancea) web3.js
- gluk256 (Vlad Gluhovsky) Whisper
- programmerTim (Tim Hughes) libethash-cl
And let's not forget: Caktux (neth, ongoing CI), Eric Lombrozo (original MinGW32 cross-compilation), Marko Simovic (original CI).
See the Wiki for build instructions, compatibility information and build tips.
