-==========
+Requirements:
+-------------------------
+Generic:
+* Vertcoin >=0.8.5
+* Python >=2.6
+* Twisted >=10.0.0
+* python-argparse (for Python =2.6)
+
+Linux:
+* sudo apt-get install python-zope.interface python-twisted python-twisted-web
+* sudo apt-get install python-argparse # if on Python 2.6
+
+Windows:
+* Install Python 2.7: http://www.python.org/getit/
+* Install Twisted: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads
+* Install Zope.Interface: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope.interface/3.8.0
+* Install python win32 api: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20218/
+* Install python win32 api wmi wrapper: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/WMI/#downloads
+* Unzip the files into C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages
+
+Running P2Pool:
+-------------------------
+To use P2Pool, you must be running your own local bitcoind. For standard
+configurations, using P2Pool should be as simple as:
+
+    python run_p2pool.py
+
+Then run your miner program, connecting to 127.0.0.1 on port 9332 with any
+username and password.
+
+If you are behind a NAT, you should enable TCP port forwarding on your
+router. Forward port 9333 to the host running P2Pool.
+
+Run for additional options.
+
+    python run_p2pool.py --help

+
+Notes for Vertcoin:
+=========================
+Requirements:
+-------------------------
+In order to run P2Pool with the Vertcoin network, you would need to build and install the
+ltc_scrypt module that includes the scrypt proof of work code that Vertcoin uses for hashes.
+
+Linux:
+
+    cd vertcoin_scrypt
+    sudo python setup.py install
+
+Windows (mingw):
+* Install MinGW: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started
+* Install Python 2.7: http://www.python.org/getit/
+
+In bash type this:
+
+    cd vertcoin_scrypt
+    C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install
+
+Windows (microsoft visual c++)
+* Open visual studio console
+
+In bash type this:
+
+    SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS110COMNTOOLS%	           # For visual c++ 2012
+    SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS100COMNTOOLS%             # For visual c++ 2010
+    cd vertcoin_scrypt
+    C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install
+
+If you run into an error with unrecognized command line option '-mno-cygwin', see this:
+http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6034390/compiling-with-cython-and-mingw-produces-gcc-error-unrecognized-command-line-o
+
+Running P2Pool:
+-------------------------
+Run P2Pool with the "--net vertcoin" option.
+Run your miner program, connecting to 127.0.0.1 on port 9171.
+
+Sponsors:
