PPCoin 0.1.0 BETA

Copyright (c) 2011-2012 PPCoin Developers
Distributed under the MIT/X11 software license, see the accompanying
file license.txt or http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php.
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
-----
PPCoin 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:
bin/32/ppcoind (headless, 32-bit)
bin/64/ppcoind (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 9901 (TCP) to your computer so you can receive
incoming connections. PPCoin works without incoming connections,
but allowing incoming connections helps the PPCoin network.


See the documentation/wiki at the ppcoin website:
http://www.ppcoin.org/
for help and more information.
