======
btc_wire_proto is a library that serialises and deserialises messages in the
Bitcoin wire format. Getting the data from (and sending it to) the network,
finding peers, validating blocks, building a block chain, etc. are all out of
scope.
Specification of the protocol is here:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification
Alternative Ruby libraries that sort-of look at the same area:
https://github.com/altamic/bitcoin-protocol
https://github.com/lian/bitcoin-ruby
This library differs from the others in that it leverages bindata to do the
heavy lifting. Results in less, easier-to-read, more robust code.
