+ripemd160
+=========
+
+JavaScript component to compute the RIPEMD-160 hash of strings or bytes. This hash is commonly used in crypto currencies
+like Bitcoin.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+### Install
+
+    npm install --save ripemd160
+
+
+### ripemd160(input)
+
+`input` should be either a `string`, `Buffer`, or an `Array`. It returns a `Buffer`. 
+
+**example 1**:
+
+```js
+var ripemd16 = require('ripemd160')
+
+var data = 'hello'
+var result = ripemd160(data)
+console.log(result.toString('hex'))
+// => 108f07b8382412612c048d07d13f814118445acd
+```
+
+**example 2**:
+
+```js
+var ripemd16 = require('ripemd160')
+
+var data = new Buffer('hello', 'utf8')
+var result = ripemd160(data)
+console.log(result.toString('hex'))
+// => 108f07b8382412612c048d07d13f814118445acd
+```
+
+
+#### Converting Buffers
+
+If you're not familiar with the Node.js ecosystem, type `Buffer` is a common way that a developer can pass around
+binary data. `Buffer` also exists in the [Browserify](http://browserify.org/) environment. Converting to and from Buffers is very easy.
+
+##### To buffer
+
+```js
+// from string
+var buf = new Buffer('some string', 'utf8')
+
+// from hex string
+var buf = new Buffer('3f5a4c22', 'hex')
+
+// from array
+var buf = new Buffer([1, 2, 3, 4])
+```
+
+#### From buffer
+
+```js
+// to string
+var str = buf.toString('utf8')
+
+// to hex string
+var hex = buf.toString('hex')
+
+// to array
+var arr = [].slice.call(buf)
+```
+
+
+Testing
+-------
+
+### Install dev deps:
+
+    npm install --development
+
+### Test in Node.js:
+
+    npm run test
+
+### Test in a Browser:
+
+Testing in the browser uses the excellent [Mochify](https://github.com/mantoni/mochify.js). Mochify can use either PhantomJS 
+or an actual browser. You must have Selenium installed if you want to use an actual browser. The easiest way is to 
+`npm install -g start-selenium` and then run `start-selenium`.
+
+Then run:
+
+    npm run browser-test
