Dear Bitcoiners,
libcoin is now in a state ready for its first release, which I would =
like to share with you!
=3D=3D=3D libcoin is a crypto currency library based on the =
bitcoin/bitcoin "Satoshi" client. =3D=3D=3D
Copenhagen, Denmark - 1st February 2012 Ceptacle announces the release =
of the first version of the crypto currency library "libcoin" based on =
the bitcoin/bitcoin "Satoshi" client.
libcoin also maintains a version of bitcoind that is a 100% compatible =
drop-in replacement of the bitcoin/bitcoind client: You can use it on =
the same computer on the same files and you can call it with the same =
scripts. 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.
