+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
+-----
+Unpack the files into a directory and run bitcoin.exe.
+
+If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, you need to add bitcoin.exe to its
+"Excluded processes" list. Microsoft Security Essentials->Settings tab,
+select Excluded processes, press Add, select bitcoin.exe, OK, Save changes.
+
+The software automatically finds other nodes to connect to. You can
+enable Universal Plug and Play using a menu entry or set your firewall
+to forward port 8333 (TCP) to your computer so you can receive
+incoming connections. Bitcoin work without incoming connections,
+but allowing incoming connections helps the Bitcoin network.
+
+See the bitcoin wiki at: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page
+for more help and information.
