Intro\r
-----\r
-Bitcoin is a free open source peer-to-peer electronic cash system that is\r
-completely decentralized, without the need for a central server or trusted\r
-parties. Users hold the crypto keys to their own money and transact directly\r
-with each other, with the help of a P2P network to check for double-spending.\r
+NovaCoin is a free open source project derived from Bitcoin, with\r
+the goal of providing a long-term energy-efficient scrypt-based crypto-currency.\r
+Built on the foundation of Bitcoin and PPCoin, innovations such as proof-of-stake and scrypt\r
+help further advance the field of crypto-currency.\r

-Setup\r
------\r
-Unpack the files into a directory and run bitcoin-qt.exe.\r
-\r
-If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, you need to add bitcoin.exe to its\r
-"Excluded processes" list. Microsoft Security Essentials->Settings tab,\r
-select Excluded processes, press Add, select bitcoin.exe, OK, Save changes.\r
-\r
-The software automatically finds other nodes to connect to. You can\r
-enable Universal Plug and Play using a menu entry or set your firewall\r
-to forward port 8333 (TCP) to your computer so you can receive\r
-incoming connections. Bitcoin works without incoming connections,\r
-but allowing incoming connections helps the Bitcoin network.\r
