* Package name : picocoin Version : 0.5 Upstream Author : Jeff Garzik <j...@bloq.com> * URL : http://bloq.com/ * License : MIT/X Programming Lang: C Description : A C library for implementing Bitcoin applications Picocoin is a C library that allows programmers to implement Bitcoin related functionality in not only C programs, but also in programs written in the many languages that support linking to C libraries. While there are other Bitcoin libraries out there, none are as flexible and easy to use as a C library. Bitcoin is a peer to peer digital currency that is used around the world. Demand for Bitcoin software has increased dramatically in the last 5 years. As such, it is important for users of Debian to be able to interact with the Bitcoin peer to peer network. Picocoin allows programmers on Debian to not only write financial applications, but also security applications such as Public Key Infrastructure and create simple, immutable databases. The latter applications are refered to as Blockchain applications.
