# Status

This is currently pretty raw code. We're planning to clean it up,
convert everything into CommonJS modules and put a flexible build
system in place.

Prototype software, use at your own peril.

# How to use

* Run `npm run-script compile` to compile to a browser-friendly minified
file. Once in the browser, the global Bitcoin object will contain everything
you need.
* To use in NodeJS, install this package as you would any other and
put in `var Bitcoin = require('bitcoinjs-lib')`.
