BitShares Core

BitShares Core is the BitShares blockchain implementation and command-line interface. The web browser-based wallet is BitShares UI. BitShares requires a 64-bit operating system to build, and will not build on a 32-bit OS. BitShares requires Boost libraries to build, and supports versions 1.58 to 1.74. Newer versions may work but have not been tested. If your system came pre-installed with a version of Boost libraries that you do not wish to use, you may manually build your preferred version and use it with BitShares by specifying it on the CMake command line. BitShares requires OpenSSL libraries to build, and supports versions 1.0.2 to 1.1.1. If your system came pre-installed with a version of OpenSSL libraries that you do not wish to use, you may manually build your preferred version and use it with BitShares by specifying it on the CMake command line. By default the node will start in reduced memory mode by using some of the commands detailed in Memory reduction for nodes.
