+# Danicoin Wallet
+
+This is the graphical user interface for 
+[Danicoin](https://kumig.it/kumitterer/danicoin), the best cryptocurrency ever.
+
+## Building
+
+There are currently no pre-built binaries available for Danicoin Wallet. To
+build it on Ubuntu Linux, let's first install all dependencies:
+
+```
+sudo apt install git build-essential cmake libboost-all-dev qt5-default
+```
+
+The next step is to download the source code for Danicoin Wallet and Danicoin
+itself:
+
+```
+git clone https://kumig.it/kumitterer/danicoinwallet.git
+cd danicoinwallet
+git submodule init
+git submodule update
+```
+
+We are now ready to build the wallet:
+
+```
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ..
+make
+```
+
+When the build is finished, the only thing left to do is installing it to 
+/usr/bin so you can easily run it from the terminal:
+
+```
+sudo install danicoin /usr/bin/
+```
+
+## Running
+
+Running Danicoin Wallet is as simple as it gets - just run it from your 
+terminal:
+
+```
+danicoin
+```
+
+It will use the ".danicoin" subdirectory of your user directory to store its
+data, including a full copy of the blockchain. If you want to change any of its
+settings, you can pass them as command line arguments. To find all available
+arguments, execute:
+
+```
+danicoin --help
+```
