INTRODUCTION

Welcome to bits of proof zrt.'s implementation of the Bitcoin protocol.

bits of proof is a modern, modular, enterprise implementation of the Bitcoin protocol targeted to merchants and system integrators.

The server process handles peer-to-peer communication, protocol validation and block chain store. The data store can be configured to use a relational database or LevelDB.

The validation engine passes most important unit tests of the Satoshi implementation and the block chain integration test cases of BitcoinJ that are also used in pull testing of the Satoshi implementation.

This implementation supports colored Bitcoins out-of-the-box enabling uses of the protocol that go beyond payments in Bitcoin offered by the Satoshi implementation.

Clients or extensions communicate with the server process through an asynchrounous message bus. The bus is provided by a separate broker process. The messages are in protobuf format hence interoperable with modules in other languages. A library is provided to implement wallets using deterministic and hierarchical key generation (BIP32) and password encrypted private key storage (BIP38) as well as convinient account manager that enables the assembly of multi wallet or multiple client environments.

STATUS

This is beta quality software, it already passed lots of testing and run months in parallel with the network.
