It's completely decentralized with no server or\ncentral authority.\n\n\nSetup\n-----\nUnpack the files into a directory and run bitcoin.exe.\n\nThe software automatically finds other nodes to connect to.  You should set\nyour firewall to forward port 8333 to your computer so you can receive incoming\nconnections, otherwise the nodes you can connect with will be limited.\n\nTo support the network by running a node, select:\n\n  Options-\u003eGenerate Coins\n\nand keep the program open or minimized.  It runs at idle priority when no other\nprograms are using the CPU.  Your computer will be solving a very difficult\ncomputational problem that is used to lock in blocks of transactions.  The time\nto generate a block varies each time, but may take days or months, depending\non the speed of your computer and the competition on the network.  It's not a\ncomputation that has to start over from the beginning if you stop and restart\nit.  A solution might be found at any given moment it's running.  As a reward\nfor supporting the network, you receive coins when you successfully generate a\nblock.\n```\n\nSee [bitcoin-0.1.0.tgz Unpacked - The Original Bitcoin Source Version (January 9, 2009) »](v0.1.0)\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fopenblockchains%2Fbitcoin","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fopenblockchains%2Fbitcoin","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fopenblockchains%2Fbitcoin/lists"}
