+# NOTES:
+#
+#   This plugin provides a rudimentary clone/pull/build process that
+#   adheres to the expectations from the container-side bitcoin plugin.
+#
+#   The only requirement for this plugin is that build dependencies
+#   are installed on your existing/running image (which is assumed to
+#   have also been built with the `root` module enabled):
+#
+#     1. Uncomment plugin's image build requirements:
+#
+#          $ dfi <platform/user:tag> edit type=build
+#
+#     2. Build/re-build your image with `root` module:
+#
+#          $ dfi <platform/user:tag> build type=default
+#
+#   If you do bitcoin development on your client (host) and prefer to
+#   use your own build process, you can skip the above requirements and,
+#   instead, ensure the following:
+#
+#     1. Your bitcoin repository is dropped into your client-side shared
+#        directory:
+#
+#          $DOCKER_FINANCE_CLIENT_SHARED
+#
+#        The expected path by the container-side plugin will be in your
+#        container-side shared directory:
+#
+#          "${DOCKER_FINANCE_CONTAINER_SHARED}"/bitcoin
+#
+#        To see or edit your shared client/container path prior to
+#        running this (or the container's) plugin, run the following:
+#
+#          $ dfi <platform/user:tag> edit type=env
+#
+#     2. Bitcoin's libraries are built as a shared (when possible) and
+#        should continue to remain within the repo's build directory,
+#        prior to running the container-side `root` bitcoin plugin.
