LBRYcrd uses a blockchain similar to bitcoin's to implement an index and payment system for content on the LBRY network. It is a fork of [bitcoin core](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin). In addition to the libraries used by bitcoin, LBRYcrd also uses [icu4c](https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/tree/master/icu4c).
Please read the [lbry.tech overview](https://lbry.tech/overview) for a general understanding of the LBRY pieces. From there you could read the [LBRY spec](https://spec.lbry.com/) for specifics on the data in the blockchain.

## Running from Source
The easiest way to compile is to utilize the Docker image that contains the necessary compilers: lbry/build_lbrycrd. This will allow you to reproduce the build as made on our build servers. In this sample we map a local lbrycrd folder and a local ccache folder inside the image:
```
```sh
git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd.git
cd lbrycrd
docker run -v "$(pwd):/lbrycrd" --rm -v "${HOME}/ccache:/ccache" -w /lbrycrd -e CCACHE_DIR=/ccache lbry/build_lbrycrd packaging/build_linux_64bit.sh
```
Some examples of compiling directly:
#### Ubuntu with pulled static dependencies:
```
```sh
sudo apt install build-essential git libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config bsdmainutils curl ca-certificates
git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd.git

#### Use with CLion:
CLion has not traditionally supported Autotools projects, although some progress on that is now in the works. We do include a cmake build file for compiling lbrycrd. See contrib/cmake. Alas, CLion doesn't support external projects in cmake, so that particular approach is also insufficient. CLion does support "compile_commands.json" projects. Fortunately, this can be easily generated for lbrycrd like so:
```
```sh
pip install --user compiledb
./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-static=no --enable-shared --with-pic --without-gui CXXFLAGS="-O0 -g" CFLAGS="-O0 -g" # or whatever normal lbrycrd config

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull
