Wladimir J. van der Laan 22f0135df0 Rebrand to Bitcoin Core
Only messages for now, executable names and other file names
can be changed later if necessary and safe.

Do not do an all-sweeping change. Some occurences of Bitcoin-Qt need to
be kept:

- Applicationname: this is used to determine the registry entry names,
  we don't want to lose settings over a silly name change.
- Where it refers to the executable name instead of the product name.

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.
