 # C-IPFS
-IPFS implementation in C, (not just an API client library).<br/>

+IPFS implementation in C, (not just an API client library).
+
+## Quick start for users:
 * **ipfs init** to create an ipfs repository on your machine
 * **ipfs add MyFile.txt** to add a file to the repository, will return with a hash that can be used to retrieve the file.
-* **ipfs cat [hash]** to retrieve a file from the repository<br/>
-<br/>
-## For techies:<br/>
-getting started: https://github.com/ipfs/specs/blob/master/overviews/implement-ipfs.md <br>
-specifications: https://github.com/ipfs/specs <br>
-getting started: https://github.com/ipfs/community/issues/177 <br> 
-libp2p: https://github.com/libp2p/specs <br>
-<br>
-## Prerequisites: To compile the C version you will need:<br>
-lmdb https://github.com/jmjatlanta/lmdb<br>
-c-protobuf https://github.com/Agorise/c-protobuf<br>
-c-multihash https://github.com/Agorise/c-multihash<br>
-c-multiaddr https://github.com/Agorise/c-multiaddr<br>
-c-libp2p https://github.com/Agorise/c-libp2p<br>
-<br>
-And of course this project at https://github.com/Agorise/c-ipfs<br>

 The compilation at this point is simple, but not very flexible. Place all of these projects in a directory. Compile all (the order above is recommended) by going into each one and running "make all".
