bitcoind
is a program that implements the bitcoin protocol for command line and rpc use. It is also the first Bitcoin client in the network's history. It is available under the MIT license in 32-bit and 64-bit versions for Windows, GNU/Linux-based OSes, and Mac OS X.
Prior to version 0.5, this service-provider client used a wxwidgets GUI as its default GUI. It is now instead bundled with Bitcoin-Qt.
