Bzing is a high performance blockchain data structure library in pure C (specifically C99). It is meant to be used as a database backend in higher level Bitcoin implementations.

Before installing libbzing, we recommend you install one or more supported persistent backends:

• Kyoto Cabinet (Installation; recommended)
• Tokyo Cabinet (Installation; supported)
• BerkeleyDB (Installation; supported)
• LevelDB (supported)
• Localmemcache (unsupported)

If installed, they should be detected and linked automatically. Alternatively you can run libbzing using one of the built-in memory-only backends:

• khash (recommended)
• alignhash (unsupported)
• sparsehash (--with-sparse, unsupported)

To compile, you need GCC, Ruby, CMake, Git. Run:

git clone --recursive git://github.com/justmoon/bzing.git
cd bzing
./configure
make
sudo make install

make test
