-MMGen = Multi-Mode GENerator
-============================
-##### a Bitcoin cold storage solution for the command line
-
-Build Bitcoind on Microsoft Windows
------------------------------------
-
-#### Build the Berkeley Database (v5.0):
-
-Grab the [v5.0 tarball][01], or browse the [download page][02] for different
-versions.  Unpack the archive to `C:\` and execute the following from your MSYS
-shell:
-
-		$ cd /c/db-5.0.32/build_unix
-		$ ../dist/configure --enable-mingw --enable-cxx --disable-replication
-
-Edit the source file `db.h` in the `build_unix` directory, moving to line 113
-and replacing the statement `typedef pthread_t db_threadid_t;` with `typedef
-u_int32_t db_threadid_t;`.
-
-Since the script creates the file, this must be done **after** the configure
-script is run.  Now execute:
-
-		$ make
-		$ make install
-
-#### Install the MASM assembler (optional but recommended):
-
-Get the file [MASMsetup.exe][03] from the Microsoft website.  With a tool
-like 7zip, open the cab file inside and the file inside it, which begins with
-`FL_ml_exe`.  Copy this file to your path, renaming it to `ml.exe`.
-
-#### Build the Boost libraries:
-
-Browse the [download page][06], or get the [tarball][04] from sourceforge.
-Unpack `boost_1_55_0.tar.gz` to `C:\`, and type the following from your DOS
-prompt:
-
-		cd \boost_1_55_0
-		boostrap.bat
-		bjam toolset=gcc link=static threading=single --build-type=minimal stage --with-system --with-filesystem --with-program_options --with-chrono --with-test
-		bjam toolset=gcc link=static threading=multi --build-type=minimal stage --with-thread
-
-These commands build just the few libraries we need, avoiding the time-consuming
-process of building the whole boost package.
-
-#### Build Bitcoind:
-
-Download Sipa's watchonly bitcoind [tarball][05] from GitHub and unzip it
-to `C:\`.
-
-From the MSYS prompt:
-
-		$ cd /c/bitcoin-watchonly
-
-Add the following lines to the end of `src/leveldb/build_detect_platform`:
-
-		$ echo "DIRS=$DIRS" >> $OUTPUT
-		$ echo "PORT_FILE=$PORT_FILE" >> $OUTPUT
-
-Make the following changes to `src/leveldb/Makefile`:
-
-> After the line `include build_config.mk` add the following line:
-
-			SOURCES=$(shell for i in $(DIRS); do echo $$i/*.cc; done)
-
-> Change the line `LIBOBJECTS = $(SOURCES:.cc=.o)`
-> to read         `LIBOBJECTS = $(SOURCES:.cc=.o) $(PORT_FILE:.cc=.o)`
-
-> Change the line `all: $(SHARED) $(LIBRARY)`
-> to read         `all: $(LIBRARY)`
-
-For each of the following files:
-
-		src/rpcdump.cpp
-		src/rpcnet.cpp
-		src/rpcwallet.cpp
-		src/wallet.cpp
-		src/walletdb.cpp
-
-add the line `#include <winsock2.h>` at the beginning, before the first
-`#include` statement.
-
-In the following files:
-
-		src/leveldb/db/db_test.cc
-		src/leveldb/db/db_bench.cc
-		src/leveldb/db/autocompact_test.cc
-		src/leveldb/db/leveldb_main.cc
-
-delete everything from `int main(int argc,..` to the end of the file.
-
-Do the following file-copying operations (needs to be done just once):
-
-		$ cp /mingw/bin/autoreconf-2.68 /mingw/bin/autoreconf
-		$ cp /mingw/bin/autoconf-2.68 /mingw/bin/autoconf
-		$ cp /mingw/bin/automake-1.11 /mingw/bin/automake
-		$ cp /mingw/bin/aclocal-1.11 /mingw/bin/aclocal
-
-Generate the `configure` script:
-
-		$ sh autogen.sh
-
-Edit the just-created `configure` script:
-
-> After the line:
-
-			LIBS="$LIBS $BOOST_LIBS $BOOST_CHRONO_LIB"
-
-> add the line:
-
-			CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $BOOST_CPPFLAGS"
-
-Export variables for `configure` to pass to the preprocessor and linker:
-
-		$ export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.0/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include"
-		$ export LDFLAGS="-static -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.0/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib"
-		$ export BOOST_ROOT=/c/boost_1_55_0
-
-Run `configure` and then `make`:
-
-		$ ./configure --without-qt --with-incompatible-bdb
-		$ make src/bitcoind.exe
-
-Strip the executable (`strip src/bitcoind.exe`), copy it to your path and test
-by running `bitcoind`.  You may need to supply an argument to the `-datadir`
-option so the daemon can find your wallet and configuration file.

-============================
-##### a Bitcoin cold storage solution for the command line
-
-### Editing the user path in Windows:
-
-  1. Right-click on your "My Computer" icon and select "Properties".
-  2. Click on the "Advanced" tab, then on the "Environment Variables" button.
-  3. A dialogue window will pop up.  Edit the path variable in the **top** text
-	 box, adding your entry (`c:\mingw\bin`, for example) to the end.  If there
-	 is no PATH variable listed there, create it.  Path entries are separated
-	 by semicolons in Windows, so if the PATH variable already exists and has
-	 entries, you must separate your entry from the preceding one with a
-	 semicolon.  As a guide for the format, you may examine the **system** PATH
-	 variable in the **bottom** text box.  **Do not** edit the system PATH,
-	 however, as this can lead to unintended consequences for your computer.

-MMGen = Multi-Mode GENerator
-============================
-##### a Bitcoin cold storage solution for the command line
-
-Install MMGen and Its Dependencies on Microsoft Windows
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-#### Install the Python interpreter:
-
-Grab the [Windows 32-bit
-installer](https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/python-2.7.6.msi)
-and run it, accepting the defaults.  Make sure the Python base directory is in
-your [path](MMGenEditPathMSWin.md).
-
-#### Build the Scrypt Python module:
-
-Grab the [latest tarball](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/scrypt/)
-from python.org.  Unpack to `C:\`, start the DOS prompt and run:
-
-		cd \scrypt-0.6.1
-		python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32
-		python setup.py install
-
-#### Build OpenSSL:
-
-Grab the [latest tarball](http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1f.tar.gz)
-from the [openssl.org download page](http://www.openssl.org/source/).  Unpack
-to `C:\`, start your MSYS shell and run:
-
-		$ cd /c/openssl-1.0.1f
-		$ ./config
-		$ make
-		$ make install
-
-#### Install the Pycrypto Python module:
-
-Source code is available from the
-[Pycrypto home page](https://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto/),
-but it appears to build only with MS Visual Studio, not MinGW.
-Until this situation is fixed, you can install the precompiled binaries
-available from
-[Voidspace](http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#pycrypto).
-Download and run the
-[Windows installer](http://www.voidspace.org.uk/downloads/pycrypto26/pycrypto-2.6.win32-py2.7.exe),
-accepting the defaults.
-
-#### Install the ecdsa Python module:
-
-Grab the [tarball](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ecdsa), unpack it, `cd` to the
-archive root and run `python setup.py install`.
-
-#### Install the bitcoin-python Python module:
-
-Grab the [tarball](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bitcoin-python/0.3),
-unpack it, start your MSYS shell, `cd` to the archive root and run the command:
-
-		$ cp -a src/bitcoinrpc /c/Python27/Lib/site-packages
-
-This is a workaround for the standard setup command, which fails here
-due to a dependency problem.  If your Python is installed in a different
-location, you'll have to adjust the destination path accordingly.

-MMGen = Multi-Mode GENerator
-============================
-##### a Bitcoin cold storage solution for the command line
-
-Install on Debian/Ubuntu Linux:
-----------------------------------------
-
-**Perform the following steps on both your online and offline computers:**
-
-Install the pip Python installer:
-
-		$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
-
-Install required Python modules:
-
-		$ sudo pip install ecdsa scrypt pycrypto bitcoin-python
-
-Install MMGen:
-
-		$ git clone https://github.com/mmgen/mmgen.git
-		$ cd mmgen; sudo ./setup.py install
-
-Install vanitygen (optional but recommended):
-
-		$ git clone https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen.git
-		(build and put the "keyconv" executable in your path)
-
-At this point you can begin trying out MMgen, creating a test wallet and
-generating keys as described in **Using MMGen** below.  To be able to track
-addresses and create and sign transactions, however, you'll need to have
-bitcoin daemons installed on your online and offline machines.
-
-#### Bitcoind installation
-
-The bitcoin daemon on the **offline machine** is used solely for signing
-transactions and is therefore run without a blockchain.  The version bundled
-with the prebuilt Bitcoin-QT is just fine for this purpose.  It can be obtained
-here:
-
-		https://bitcoin.org/en/download
-
-After installation, locate the bitcoind executable and start it up:
-
-		$ bitcoind -daemon -maxconnections=0
-
-Note that in the absence of a blockchain the daemon starts very quickly and
-uses practically no CPU once running.  Thus a low-powered computer such as a
-netbook can serve quite nicely as an offline signing machine.
-
-On the **online machine**, the bitcoin daemon is used for tracking addresses
-and requires a full, updated blockchain.  For this a more powerful computer is
-needed, especially when importing addresses.  Plenty of free disk space is also
-required to accommodate the rapidly-growing blockchain (20GB in size at the time
-of writing).
-
-The standard bitcoin daemon at present lacks the watch-only address support we
-need, so we must get and compile the special watch-only enabled version created
-by Bitcoin core developer Pieter Wuille, aka Sipa.  If you have the necessary
-dependencies installed, the build process is surprisingly painless.
-
-		$ curl -O https://codeload.github.com/sipa/bitcoin/zip/watchonly
-		$ unzip watchonly
-		$ cd bitcoin-watchonly
-		$ ./autogen.sh
-		$ ./configure
-		$ make -j4
-		(You may have to install the libboost-all-dev package for the build to succeed)
-
-With your online machine connected to the Internet, start the freshly compiled
-daemon and let it synchronize the blockchain, taking care to **move any
-existing wallet.dat out of harm's way** beforehand.  The daemon will create a
-new wallet upon startup, which you'll use as your **tracking wallet**.
-
-Congratulations!  Your MMGen installation is now complete.

-MMGen = Multi-Mode GENerator
-============================
-##### a Bitcoin cold storage solution for the command line
-
-Install on Microsoft Windows
-----------------------------
-
-The installation process on Windows can be divided into three steps:
-
-  1. [Install MinGW and MSYS][01], if you haven't already;
-  2. [Build MMGen's dependencies (excluding the watch-only bitcoind) and
-     install MMGen itself][02]; and
-  3. [Build the watch-only bitcoind][03].
-
-After the second step you'll be able to use many of MMGen's features.  You
-must complete step 3 to be able to track addresses and create transactions,
-however.
-
-Getting MMGen up and running on MS Windows requires more work than with Linux,
-but your patience will be rewarded with success in the end.  Detailed,
-step-by-step instructions for installing and building each component and
-dependency have been provided to make the process go as smoothly as possible.
-
-The instructions are designed for a computer not connected to the Internet.
-They've been tested on the author's build machine running 32-bit Windows XP.
-
-#### A word on text editors:
-
-The installation process involves some editing of source code and configuration
-files.  Windows Notepad is a bad choice for this, because it doesn't handle
-the line endings in Unix text files properly.  Therefore, it's recommended you
-install a file format-aware text editor like one of the following:
-
-For an easy-to-use editor, try [nano][], available [here][04] as a
-precompiled Windows binary.  Just extract `nano.exe` from the archive and copy
-it to your path.
-
-For advanced users with some knowledge of vi commands, [Vim][], a full-featured
-editor with advanced text highlighting capabilities, will be a better choice.
-Grab the Windows installer [here][05] and run it, accepting the defaults.
-
-After installing Vim, you should add its executable directory `C:\Program
-Files\Vim\vim74` (the version number may change) to your user path.
-Editing paths is explained [here][06].

-Install MinGW and MSYS on Microsoft Windows
--------------------------------------------
-
-MinGW (Minimal GNU for Windows) provides the gcc compiler and related tools for
-compiling source code into Windows binaries.  MSYS provides a Unix-like
-environment with basic Unix shell commands.  MinGW and MSYS are part of the
-same project and are designed to be used together.
-
-Complete hypertexed lists of the required MinGW and MSYS archive files are
-provided below for convenient downloading.  Save the archives into two separate
-temporary directories (`mingw` and `msys`, for example).  Note: these archives
-were up-to-date at the time of writing (April 2014); if you have time to spare
-and want to hunt for more recent versions on the [MinGW repository][01], feel
-free to do so.
-
-  * [MinGW archive list][02]
-  * [MSYS archive list][03]
-
-Open the basic-bsdtar archive (in the MinGW list) and copy the executable to
-your path (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32).
-
-From the DOS prompt, run `mkdir C:\mingw` to create the directory `C:\mingw`.
-Move to this directory with the `cd` command and unpack each of the MinGW
-archives (excepting the already-unpacked basic-bsdtar archive) there as
-follows:
-
-		basic-bsdtar -xf <path to archive>
-
-Create a `C:\msys` directory the same way, move to it and repeat the above
-unpacking procedure with the MSYS archives.
-
-Add `C:\mingw\bin` to your user path.
-Consult [this page](MMGenEditPathMSWin.md)
-for instructions on editing your user path.
-
-Close the command prompt window and open a new one. Launch the MSYS shell with
-the command `C:\msys\bin\bash.exe --login`.  You'll now be in the home
-directory of your MSYS environment.
-
-Run the command `mount c:/mingw /mingw` to include your MinGW installation in
-the MSYS tree.  So you won't have to run this command every time you log in to
-MSYS, open the file `/etc/fstab` in your text editor and add the line `c:/mingw
-/mingw` (if it's not already there).
-
-If you want be able to launch MSYS from an icon, make a copy of the "Command
-Line" icon on your desktop, rename it to your taste, right click on it, select
-"Properties" and change the highlighted path to `c:\msys\bin\bash.exe --login`.
-You may also want to change the "Home Folder" field to your MSYS home
-directory, `C:\msys\home\Admin` for the Admin user.
-
-#### Unix commands and environment:
-
-If you're new to Unix, you should learn a few key commands:
-
-  * `ls` - view directory contents (`ls -l` for a long view)
-  * `rm` - remove files (`rm -r` to remove entire directory trees)
-  * `rmdir` - remove an empty directory
-  * `cp` - copy a file (`cp -a` to copy directory trees)
-  * `mv` - move a file or directory
-  * `cat` - output a file to screen
-  * `less` - view a file page-by-page, with scrollback
-
-Command help texts can be accessed with the `--help` switch.  The MSYS root
-directory is `/`.  Drive letter `C:` can be accessed as `/c/`.
-
-Environmental variables may be viewed with the `env` command.  Individual
-variables may be displayed like this:
-
-		$ echo $PAGER
-
-and set like this:
-
-		$ set PAGER=/bin/less
-
-Sometimes variables must be exported to be visible to called programs:
-
-		$ export PATH
