+Requirements:
+=============
+Generic:
+	Bitcoin >=0.6.4
+	Python
+	Twisted
+	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 or older
+
+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
+		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 "python run_p2pool.py --help" for additional options.

+
+Notes for Litecoin:
+=============
+Requirements:
+	In order to run P2Pool with the Litecoin network, you would need to build and install the
+	ltc_scrypt module that includes the scrypt proof of work code that Litecoin uses for hashes.
+
+	Linux:
+		cd litecoin_scrypt
+		sudo python setup.py install
+
+	Windows:
+		Install MinGW: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started
+		Install Python 2.7: http://www.python.org/getit/
+
+		cd litecoin_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 litecoin" option.
+	Run your miner program, connecting to 127.0.0.1 on port 9327.
+	Forward port 9338 to the host running P2Pool.
+
+	Litecoin's use of ports 9332 and 9332 conflicts with P2Pool running on
+	the Bitcoin network. To avoid problems, add these lines to litecoin.conf
+	and restart litecoind:
+		rpcport=10332
+		port=10333
