Any plans on creating one?

This is the same person that posted this question. I am working on a brand new Gem currently to make it easier for everyone in the future. When I am able to finish and submit to RubyGems I will follow-up here with the repo link.

It's not on our immediate roadmap, but it looks like a good start would be to take an existing Ruby Gem for Bitcoin Core, and supplement it with MultiChain's new API calls. For example:

https://rubygems.org/gems/bitcoin-client/versions/0.0.3

We've built a (far from fully featured) client here https://github.com/theodi/multichain-client - some of it is biased towards our specialised research use case, but should be able to work with the API without any problems.

Hello again Stuart. Thanks for the response. I am in the process of making a full fledged Multichain RPC gem. Once I like it I will throw it up on Github and on RubyGems for easy install :).

This was posted before I registered here and before I got in-depth with the protocol.
