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.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
All you existing coins/transactions should be intact with the upgrade.

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.
