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