+
+Intro
+-----
+BERN is a free open source project derived from NovaCoin and subsequelty Bitcoin, with
+the goal of providing a long-term energy-efficient x14-based crypto-currency to support
+progressive politics. Built on the foundation of Bitcoin and NovaCoin, innovations such as proof-of-stake
+help further advance the field of crypto-currency.
+
+Setup
+-----
+Unpack the files into a directory and run:
+ bin/32/BERNd (headless, 32-bit)
+ bin/64/BERNd (headless, 64-bit)
+
+The software automatically finds other nodes to connect to.  You can
+enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) with your router/firewall
+or forward port 32020 (TCP) to your computer so you can receive
+incoming connections.  BERN works without incoming connections,
+but allowing incoming connections helps the BERN network.
+
+
+Upgrade
+-------
+All you existing coins/transactions should be intact with the upgrade.
+To upgrade first backup wallet
+BERNd backupwallet <destination_backup_file>
+Then shutdown BERNd by
+BERNnd stop
+Start up the new BERNd.
+
+
+See the BERN site:
+  http://BERN.org/
+for help and more information.

+WINDOWS BUILD NOTES
+===================
+
+Compilers Supported
+-------------------
+TODO: What works?
+Note: releases are cross-compiled using mingw running on Linux.
+
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+Libraries you need to download separately and build:
+
+                default path               download
+OpenSSL         \openssl-1.0.1b-mgw        http://www.openssl.org/source/
+Berkeley DB     \db-4.8.30.NC-mgw          http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/index.html
+Boost           \boost-1.47.0-mgw          http://www.boost.org/users/download/
+miniupnpc       \miniupnpc-1.6-mgw         http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/
+
+Their licenses:
+OpenSSL        Old BSD license with the problematic advertising requirement
+Berkeley DB    New BSD license with additional requirement that linked software must be free open source
+Boost          MIT-like license
+miniupnpc      New (3-clause) BSD license
+
+Versions used in this release:
+OpenSSL      1.0.1b
+Berkeley DB  4.8.30.NC
+Boost        1.47.0
+miniupnpc    1.6
+
+
+OpenSSL
+-------
+MSYS shell:
+un-tar sources with MSYS 'tar xfz' to avoid issue with symlinks (OpenSSL ticket 2377)
+change 'MAKE' env. variable from 'C:\MinGW32\bin\mingw32-make.exe' to '/c/MinGW32/bin/mingw32-make.exe'
+
+cd /c/openssl-1.0.1b-mgw
+./config
+make
+
+Berkeley DB
+-----------
+MSYS shell:
+cd /c/db-4.8.30.NC-mgw/build_unix
+sh ../dist/configure --enable-mingw --enable-cxx
+make
+
+Boost
+-----
+DOS prompt:
+downloaded boost jam 3.1.18
+cd \boost-1.47.0-mgw
+bjam toolset=gcc --build-type=complete stage
+
+MiniUPnPc
+---------
+UPnP support is optional, make with USE_UPNP= to disable it.
+
+MSYS shell:
+cd /c/miniupnpc-1.6-mgw
+make -f Makefile.mingw
+mkdir miniupnpc
+cp *.h miniupnpc/

+Mac OS X BERNd build instructions
+Laszlo Hanyecz <solar@heliacal.net>
+Douglas Huff <dhuff@jrbobdobbs.org>
+
+
+See readme-qt.rst for instructions on building BERN QT, the
+graphical user interface.
+
+Tested on 10.5 and 10.6 intel.  PPC is not supported because it's big-endian.
+
+All of the commands should be executed in Terminal.app.. it's in
+/Applications/Utilities
+
+You need to install XCode with all the options checked so that the compiler and
+everything is available in /usr not just /Developer I think it comes on the DVD
+but you can get the current version from http://developer.apple.com
+
+
+1.  Clone the github tree to get the source code:
+
+git clone git@github.com:BERN/BERN.git BERN
+
+2.  Download and install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/
+
+2a. (for 10.7 Lion)
+    Edit /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf and uncomment "build_arch i386"
+
+3.  Install dependencies from MacPorts
+
+sudo port install boost db48 openssl miniupnpc
+
+Optionally install qrencode (and set USE_QRCODE=1):
+sudo port install qrencode
+
+4.  Now you should be able to build BERNd:
+
+cd BERN/src
+make -f makefile.osx
+
+Run:
+  ./BERNd --help  # for a list of command-line options.
+Run
+  ./BERNd -daemon # to start the BERN daemon.
+Run
+  ./BERNd help # When the daemon is running, to get a list of RPC commands
