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 Bitcoin client builds the backbone of the bitcoin network.
|
|
It downloads, verifies and distributes the blockchain to other
|
|
peers in the network. It uses lots of diskspace and bandwith.
|
|
If you just want to send and receive Bitcoins you should look at
|
|
a light client like Electrum.
|
|
|
|
0.10.0 is a major version upgrade which makes use of headers-first
|
|
synchronization and parallel block download, the block files and
|
|
databases are not backwards-compatible with older versions of
|
|
Bitcoin Core or other software.
|
|
|
|
