Merkle Mountain Belts

Implements merkle mountain belts (MMBs) - a cryptographic accumulator with O(log(n)) accumulator size and O(log(k)) {accumulator update, membership witness, prefix witness} cost, where k is the distance from the latest leaf to the leaf being considered. There exist two forms of MMBs: single- and double-bagged. The single-bagging implementation is considerably simpler to implement, but does not have as attractive performance characteristics as the double-bagging variant.

Currently, the codebase is split as follows:

• storage.clj the persistent storage backend and the associated pointer arithmetic
• core.clj contains the one-shot MMB construction method (both single- and double-bagging variants), as well as MMR construction methods
• linked-peaks.clj contains the incremental append operation
• visualization_mmr.clj contains the visualization of MMRs
• visualization_mmb.clj contains the visualization of MMBs

Feedback and contributions welcome :)
