+      Memorycoin is a cryptocurrency that aims to empower the
+      economically and financially marginalized. It allows individuals
+      to participate in the internet economy even when they live in
+      countries where credit card companies and PayPal(R) refuse to
+      operate. Individuals can store and transfer wealth with just a
+      memorized pass phrase.
+
+      Memorycoin is based on the Bitcoin code, but with some key
+      differences.
