+bitcoin (P2P electronic cash system)
+
+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.
+
+This requires: qrencode
+
+UPNP is disabled, it requires miniupnpc, which is not available on SBo.
+
+Package provides both, bitcoin-qt (GUI) and bitcoind (CLI).

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
