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