 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.
-
-
-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)
