 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.
+NovaCoin is a free open source project derived from PPCoin, with
+the goal of providing a long-term energy-efficient scrypt-based crypto-currency.
+Built on the foundation of Bitcoin, innovations such as proof-of-stake and scrypt
+help further advance the field of crypto-currency.
 
 
 Setup
 -----
-Unpack the files into a directory and run bitcoin-qt.exe.
-
-If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, you need to add bitcoin.exe to its
-"Excluded processes" list.  Microsoft Security Essentials->Settings tab,
-select Excluded processes, press Add, select bitcoin.exe, OK, Save changes.
+After completing windows setup then run windows command line (cmd)
+  cd daemon
+  novacoind
+You would need to create a configuration file novacoin.conf in the default
+wallet directory. Grant access to novacoind.exe in anti-virus and firewall
+applications if necessary.
 
 The software automatically finds other nodes to connect to.  You can
-enable Universal Plug and Play using a menu entry or set your firewall
-to forward port 8333 (TCP) to your computer so you can receive
-incoming connections.  Bitcoin works without incoming connections,
-but allowing incoming connections helps the Bitcoin network.
+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.
+
