Bitcoin 0.5.0 BETA Copyright (c) 2009-2011 Bitcoin 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 ----- 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 ----- You need the Qt4 run-time libraries to run bitcoin-qt. On Debian or Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libqtgui4 Unpack the files into a directory and run: bin/32/bitcoin-qt (GUI, 32-bit) bin/32/bitcoind (headless, 32-bit) bin/64/bitcoin-qt (GUI, 64-bit) bin/64/bitcoind (headless, 64-bit) See the documentation at the bitcoin wiki: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page for help and more information.
