  Description     : peer-to-peer network based digital currency

 Groestlcoin is an experimental new digital currency that enables
 instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Groestlcoin uses
 peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing
 transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the
 network. Groestlcoin Core is the name of open source software which
 enables the use of this currency.
 .
 Grøstl is a cryptographic hash function submitted to a NIST competition
 - and was chosen as one of the five finalists of the competition.  The
 name is a word play on the researchers being from Austria (the dish
 "gröstl") and Denmark (the letter "ø")).

The package will be maintained in the Debian Bitcoin Team.
