Hi everyone👋, nice to be here. I'm David, and I'm joining via the Summer of Bitcoin. Just introduce myself briefly. I'm a student in the master's degree programme at FIT Brno University of Technology. I have experience contributing to open-source Tone Mapping Studio project for about three years and Mixxx organization through the Google Summer of Code in 2022. I'm interested in the project SQLite Database for libbitcoin. I like the idea of the performance improvement for the less equipped computers (probably the same as mine 😄). @SoB mentors: Please, can I ask you a small question? I have done the first two parts of the Competency Test in the project idea published on the Summer of Bitcoin website. I have a single-page document with the problems and ideas I got during the libbitcoin database installation and running a node. Should I post the document here or send it only to mentors? Thank you for your answer in advance.

FYI the recommended build is static, prefix directory (non-sudo), and build boost. This is because the linker tends to pick up shared dependencies despite configuration and boost installations vary widely and are often incompatible. Also, you've got version3, which is the release build but very dated. The SQL project can only apply to version4 (/master). There is no current server build for master, we are working from libbitcoin-node (libbitcoin-server builds on that). There is a similar install.sh. That build has system, network, and database dependencies.
