-##### Custom lmdb database (optional)
-
-Most unique search abilities of the Onion Explorer are achieved through using
-a [custom lmdb database](https://github.com/moneroexamples/lmdbcpp-monero.git) constructed based on the Monero blockchain.
-The reason for the custom database is that Monero's own lmdb database has limited
-search abilities. For example, its not possible to search for a tx having a
- given key image, except by performing an exhaustive search on the blockchain which is very time consuming.
-
-Instruction how to compile the `lmdbcpp-monero` are provided here:
-
- - https://github.com/moneroexamples/lmdbcpp-monero.git
-
-The custom database is rather big, 12GB now, and it must be running alongside Monero deamon
-so that it keeps updating itself with new information from new blocks as they are added
-to the blockchain. Also, by default it is 10 blocks behind the current blockchain height
-to minimize indexing/saving orphaned blocks.
-
-For these reasons, its use is optional. However, without it, some searches wont be possible,
-e.g., searching for key images, output and tx public keys, encrypted payments id.

 ##### Compile and run the explorer
