And you can easily extend it without touching the basic bitcoin = source files. The libcoin/bitcoind client downloads the entire block chain 3.5 times = faster than the bitcoin/bitcoind client. This is less than 90 minutes on = a modern laptop! In libcoin, the Satoshi client code has been completely refactored, = properly encapsulating classes, removing all globals, moving from = threads and mutexes to a pure asynchronous approach. Functionalities = have been divided into logical units and libraries, minimizing = dependencies for e.g. thin clients. libcoin is chain agnostic, all chain (bitcoin, testnet, namecoin, = litecoin, ...) specific settings are maintained from a single class = (Chain) and hence experiments with chain settings, mining, security and = digital currencies for research and educational purposes are easily = accessible. See the ponzicoin example for how you define your own chain. The build system of libcoin is based on CMake and supports builds of = static and dynamic libraries on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. The libcoin license is LGPL v. 3. This mean that you can use it in open = source as well as in commercial projects, but improvements should go = back into the libcoin library. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Read more on libcoin on: http://github.com/ceptacle/libcoin/wiki Join libcoin on twitter: http://twitter.com/libcoin Download "libcoin Satoshi release": = http://github.com/ceptacle/libcoin/zipball/v0.4.0.1 Best regards, Michael Gronager, PhD Director, Ceptacle Jens Juels Gade 33 2100 Copenhagen E Mobile: +45 31 45 14 01 E-mail: gronager@ceptacle.com Web: http://www.ceptacle.com/
