Right. Perhaps I should explain this in the readme. To be clear: Libbtc is a small bitcoin library meant for everyday things: signing transactions, maintaining an SPV wallet, etc. It's good at what it does, but you wouldn't be able to actually sync and validate an entire blockchain with it. I suppose picocoin is the most similar to mako, but I think it falls short of being a "full node" in that it doesn't provide a mempool, miner, or RPC (from what I can tell). I'm also not clear on how it is storing UTXOs. It looks incomplete right now, but maybe jgarzik could give more insight on that. Mako is a _full_ reimplementation of bitcoin. It's an alternative to bitcoin core.
