+==================== Alternate Guide written By LiveChains UK =======================
+
+This makes the following presumptions
+
+	1: Although the install of virtual enviroment is done during this guide, the end product wont be inside it
+	2: Ubuntu 12.04.01 Used for This Guide X64 Bit, Dual Core, 2GB RAM, 20GB RAID 10 100Mbps.
+	3: You have at least some linux problem solving skills, google is your friend
+	4: Your install is CLEAN, ie you only selected SSH during ubuntu server.
+	5: You accept this is BETA at best, using it as a production pool comes with huge risks, there are known bugs
+	   in the platform. YOU USE THIS GUIDE AND THIS SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK LIVECHAINS WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONCIBILITY
+	   IN ANYFORM FOR THE ACTIONS THIS GUIDE MAY TAKE. THIS IS 100% AT YOUR OWN RISK

+# Dependancy Installation      #
+################################

+	apt-get update
+	apt-get upgrade
+	apt-get install python-software-properties
+	apt-add-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
+	apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin -y
+	apt-get update

+	apt-get build-dep bitcoin -y
+	easy_install pip
+	pip install virtualenv
+	pip install virtualenvwrapper
+
+That about coveres the dependancys at this point, youll not we include a bitcoin repo and packages
+this is there purley to shrink the APT-GET Commands, it will include all the dependancys that are
+required but not listed, for instance the ability to compile wallets and daemons for this to use.
+
+Youll note we install virtualenvwrapper this is specified in the SIMPLECOIN GIT and is good practise,
+that said we dont actually use it in this guide, in order to be comprehensive lets cover its set here
+just incase you choose to use it.

+################################
+# VitualENV Configuration Steps#
+################################
+
+	mkdir -p ~/.virtualenvs
+	echo 'export WORKON_HOME=~/.virtualenvs' >> ~/.bashrc
+	echo 'source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh' >> ~/.bashrc
+	source ~/.bashrc
+
+If you plan on using virtual env you should now do
+
+	mkvirtualenv sd
+
+And follow the rest of this guide!
+
+###################################
+# SimpleCoin Time
+###################################
+
+You can Copy and paste this bit, this will get simplecoin, install more requirements and
+dependancys, compile what needs doing etc, this CAN on slow systems take some time
+
+	git clone https://github.com/simplecrypto/simplecoin.git
+	cd simplecoin
+	pip install -r requirements.txt
+	pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
+	npm install -g grunt-cli
+	npm install
+	./util/reset_db.sh
+	cp config.yml.example config.yml
+	python manage.py init_db
+	python manage.py runserver
+
+Thats it, you will OBVIOUSLY need to check all the config and update as nessasary, like coin RPC Details
+system IP, wallet address, pool fees, payout, blockvalues etc etc
