 # bitcoind.js
 
-Bitcoind for node
+Bitcoind as a node.js module.
+
+## Building
+
+### bitcoind:
+
+- NOTE (to self): Arch is using bitcoin-daemon 0.9.2.1, the latest boost headers
+  in Arch should be correct.
+
+``` bash
+$ cd ~/bitcoin
+$ git clean -xdf
+
+...
+
+$ git checkout v0.9.2.1
+OR:
+$ git checkout v0.9.0
+
+...
+
+$ ./autogen.sh
+
+...
+
+$ ./configure --with-incompatible-bdb --prefix=/usr
+OR:
+$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
+
+...
+
+$ time make
+```
+
+### bitcoind.js:
+
+- NOTE: This will eventually try to include our included version of boost.
+- NOTE: Rename bitcoind to bitcoind.o to try to statically link it?
+
+``` bash
+$ cd ~/work/node_modules/bitcoind.js
+$ PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.7 make gyp
+```
