WARNING: The code is unstable and may not work as expected!!


To get started, ensure you have the latest .net SDK installed and run "msbuild" from the src folder.

Now ensure you're running a BitCoin node locally and run the example app:

   cd bin/Debug
   BitCoinSharp.Examples PingService

It will download the block chain and eventually print a BitCoin address. If you send coins to it,
you should get them back a few minutes later when a block is solved.

Note that if you connect to a node that is itself downloading the block chain, you will see very slow progress (1
block per second or less). Find a node that isn't heavily loaded to connect to.

If you get a SocketException, the node you've connected to has its max send buffer set to low
(unfortunately the default is too low). Connect to a node that has a bigger send buffer,
settable by passing -maxsendbuffer=25600 to the Bitcoin C++ software.
