-## Should I use this in production?
-If you are thinking of using the master branch of this library in production, stop.
-Master is not stable; it is our development branch, and only tagged releases may be classified as stable.
-
-Master is currently being heavily refactored to clean things up, add new functionality and merge improvements from the community.
-If you are looking for the original, it is tagged as `0.1.3`.
-We are releasing quasi-stable releases tagged under `0.2.x`, with the expectation that this is still beta software and is `PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED`.
+## Features
 
-This is not the original bitcoinjs-lib that was not updated for a long time.
+- Clean: Pure JavaScript, concise code, easy to read.
+- Tested: Coverage > 90%, third-party integration tests.
+- Careful: Two person approval process for small, focused pull requests.
+- Compatible: Works on Node.js and all modern browsers.
+- Powerful: Support for advanced features, such as multi-sig, HD Wallets.
+- Secure: Strong random number generation, PGP signed releases, trusted developers.
+- Principled: No support for browsers with crap RNG (IE < 11)
+- Standardized: Node community coding style, Browserify, Node's stdlib and Buffers.
+- Fast: Optimized code, uses typed arrays instead of byte arrays for performance.
+- Experiment-friendly: Bitcoin Mainnet and Testnet support.
+- Altcoin-ready: Capable of working with bitcoin-derived cryptocurrencies (such as Dogecoin).

-- Default's to the Bitcoin network, however testnet, Dogecoin and Litecoin are all supported natively.
-- [HD Wallets](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki).
-- Random private key generation that uses [window.crypto.getRandomValues](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.crypto) in the underlying implementation.
-- ECDSA signing and verification.
-- Standard transaction creation, with support for PubKeyHash, ScriptHash, MultiSig and PubKey scripts, and
-- A (somewhat incomplete) wallet implementation, with improvements ongoing.
+If you are looking for the original, it is tagged as `0.1.3`. Unless you need it for dependency reasons, it is highly recommended that you use the newest version, which adds major functionality, fixes many bugs, and is well tested.
