Copenhagen, Denmark - 1st February 2012 Ceptacle announces the release of t=

The libcoin/bitcoind client downloads the entire block chain 3.5 times fast=

In libcoin, the Satoshi client code has been completely refactored, properl=

 logical units and libraries, minimizing dependencies for e.g. thin clients=

<br>
libcoin is chain agnostic, all chain (bitcoin, testnet, namecoin, litecoin,=
 ...) specific settings are maintained from a single class (Chain) and henc=
e experiments with chain settings, mining, security and digital currencies =
for research and educational purposes are easily accessible. See the ponzic=
oin example for how you define your own chain.<br>

The build system of libcoin is based on CMake and supports builds of static=

The libcoin license is LGPL v. 3. This mean that you can use it in open sou=
