 Intro
 -----
-Bitcoin is a free open source peer-to-peer electronic cash system that is
-completely decentralized, without the need for a central server or trusted
-parties.  Users hold the crypto keys to their own money and transact directly
-with each other, with the help of a P2P network to check for double-spending.
+PPCoin is a free open source project derived from Bitcoin, with
+the goal of providing a long-term energy-efficient crypto-currency.
+Built on the foundation of Bitcoin, innovations such as proof-of-stake
+help further advance the field of crypto-currency.
 
 
 Setup
 -----
-You need the Qt4 run-time libraries to run bitcoin-qt. On Debian or Ubuntu:
-  sudo apt-get install libqtgui4
-
 Unpack the files into a directory and run:
- bin/32/bitcoin-qt (GUI, 32-bit)
- bin/32/bitcoind (headless, 32-bit)
- bin/64/bitcoin-qt (GUI, 64-bit)
- bin/64/bitcoind (headless, 64-bit)
+ bin/32/ppcoind (headless, 32-bit)
+ bin/64/ppcoind (headless, 64-bit)
+
+The software automatically finds other nodes to connect to.  You can
+enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) with your router/firewall
+or forward port 9901 (TCP) to your computer so you can receive
+incoming connections.  PPCoin works without incoming connections,
+but allowing incoming connections helps the PPCoin network.
+
+
+Upgrade
+-------
+All you existing coins/transactions should be intact with the upgrade.
+To upgrade from 0.2.0, first backup wallet
+ppcoind backupwallet <destination_backup_file>

+ppcoind stop
+Start up the new ppcoind (0.2.1).
