+After 5 months of working on this project. I would be glad to announce that we 
+have a alpha release. The objective of P2PRC is to create a p2p network where nodes 
+can share each others computatination power in a virtualized manner (i.e digital 
+ocean where anyone can share resources). In the alpha release the choice of
+virtualization used is docker. The current release will 
+support docker. It should be noted that from the next release onwards we will 
+not support the docker daemon. We will try to provide backwards compatability 
+as much as we can but I have decided to ditch the docker daemon and write 
+compatable code from containerd. 
+
+## Major featueres 
+- IPV4 and IPV6 support: All the nodes can listen to both IPV4 and 
+IPV6 addresses. It can be noted that with IPV6 there are minor issues 
+detected in certain PC in terms of SSH into a docker container which is 
+mostly on the server side. 
+
+- Hopping mechanism: Since it's a p2p network we have a very simple 
+implementation that hops though servers and downloads it's IP tables.
+In our implementation. This contains about imformtaion of other servers 
+in the network. This way nodes can automatically learn parts of the 
+network. The current implementation uses 3 hops. 
+
+- Possibility to run any docker container: To satisfy this the server 
+must already have the docker container and the must ensure that the 
+SSH username is 'master' and password is 'password' in creation of new 
+servers. It's not secure but worksout for this version for now. 
+
+The test network will be avaliable for use from the beta release 
+which should come out on the 5th of july 2021. The network will 
+consist of 1 node which runs on a paid cloud server as I do not 
+keep my machines on 24/7. The node up will help to connect with 
+other nodes and the paid cloud server cannot be used to create 
+and remove containers.
