\r
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
\r
\r
Setup\r
-----\r
Unpack the files into a directory and run bitcoin-qt.exe.\r
\r
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network.\r
However, it downloads and stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions;\r
depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization\r
process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.\r
