 What is IXCoin?
 ----------------
 
-IXCoin is an experimental new digital currency that enables instant payments to
-anyone, anywhere in the world. IXCoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate

+Created by Thomas Nasakioto, IXCoin uses the same peer-to-peer technology to

-The patch will be accepted if there is broad consensus that it is a good thing.

 Testing

-Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull

-remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people
-lots of money.

 ### Automated Testing
 
 Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
-submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: `make check`
