protobuf is only needed if you build the GUI (hub-qt), which is not compiled by default.

# Building a Hub that connects you to Bitcoin Cash
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin Cash is
|
|
still a mysterious black box to most companies that would potentially want
|
|
to use it, or build applications on top of.
|
|
|
|
Flowee is being built to help you connect to the Bitcoin Cash network and handle all
|
|
the validation, parsing and low level database access for all your Bitcoin
|
|
needs. Including many needs you didn't even know you had!
|
|
|
|
The codebase is derived from the one that originally was created by Satoshi
|
|
Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. This way you know you won't get
|
|
compatibility issues. Flowee is adjusted for greatly increased speed and
|
|
reliability as well as for scaling up to much larger blocks than the
|
|
competition.
|
|
|
|
The libs/httpengine directory is LGPL licensed as this is derived from the
|
|
qhttpengine open source project.
|
|
|
|
The original Satoshi codebase was MIT licensed. This has been combined with
|
|
copyrighted works from Tom Zander which are GPLv3 licensed with the result
|
|
that those files are new licensed under the GPLv3.
