32 * \section intro_sec Introduction
34 * This is the developer documentation of the reference client for an experimental new digital currency called Bitcoin (https://www.bitcoin.org/),
35 * which enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate
36 * with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network.
38 * The software is a community-driven open source project, released under the MIT license.
41 * Use the buttons <code>Namespaces</code>, <code>Classes</code> or <code>Files</code> at the top of the page to start navigating the code.
