**About Libbitcoin Explorer**

BX is a command line tool for working with Bitcoin. It can be built as a single portable executable for Linux, OSX or Windows and is available for download as a signed single executable for each. BX exposes about 80 commands and supports network communication with [libbitcoin-server](https://github.com/libbitcoin/libbitcoin-server) or its predecessor [Obelisk](https://github.com/spesmilo/obelisk), and the P2P Bitcoin network. BX is well documented and supports simple and advanced scenarios, including stealth and multisig.
