-This is the **server component of libbitcoin v4**. It integrates the basic components and offers a **high performance Bitcoin full node** with a comprehensive set of client-server interfaces like **bitcoind, electrum and stratum** as well as an intergrated **block explorer**. It makes full use of the available hardware, internet connection and availabe RAM and CPU so you can sync the Bitcoin blockchain from genesis, today and in the future.
