This repository currently contains a fork of the Steem blockchain code. Blurt will launch as a fork of the state of Steem on July 4, 2020. If you compiled this software today, you would just be compiling Steem code, so we've removed the compile and deploy instructions for now, but they'll return soon.
Do this exactly, and it'll work. Do otherwise and you may have a bad time.
