Copyright (c) 2011-2019 Peercoin Developers
Distributed under the MIT software license, see the accompanying
file COPYING or http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php.

Intro
-----
Peercoin is a free open source project derived from Bitcoin, with
the goal of providing a long-term energy-efficient crypto-currency.
Built on the foundation of Bitcoin, innovations such as proof-of-stake
help further advance the field of crypto-currency.
Setup
-----
Unpack the files into a directory and run peercoin-qt.exe.
Peercoin Core is the original Peercoin client and it builds the backbone of the network.
However, it downloads and stores the entire history of Peercoin 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.
See the peercoin documentation at:
https://docs.peercoin.net/
for more help and information.
