Unpack the files into a directory and run bitcoin-qt.exe.

If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, you need to add bitcoin.exe to its
|
|
|
|
|
"Excluded processes" list. Microsoft Security Essentials->Settings tab,
|
|
|
|
|
select Excluded processes, press Add, select bitcoin.exe, OK, Save changes.

The software automatically finds other nodes to connect to. You can
|
|
|
|
|
enable Universal Plug and Play using a menu entry or set your firewall
|
|
|
|
|
to forward port 8333 (TCP) to your computer so you can receive
|
|
|
|
|
incoming connections. Bitcoin works without incoming connections,
|
|
|
|
|
but allowing incoming connections helps the Bitcoin network.
|
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin-Qt is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network.
|
|
|
|
|
However, it downloads and stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions;
|
|
|
|
|
depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization
|
|
|
|
|
process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
