PPCoin 0.1.0 BETA Copyright (c) 2011-2012 PPCoin Developers Distributed under the MIT/X11 software license, see the accompanying file license.txt or http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php. This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/). This product includes cryptographic software written by Eric Young (eay@cryptsoft.com). Intro ----- 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 ----- Unpack the files into a directory and run: 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.

This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/). This product includes cryptographic software written by Eric Young (eay@cryptsoft.com). 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.
