Bitcoin Core 0.10.0
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
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-qt.exe.
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network.
|
|
However, it downloads and stores the entire history of Bitcoin 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.
