 # OTP Cipher - One Time Pad Implementation
 
+## Quick Start
+
+### Download Pre-Built Binaries
+
+**Latest Release:** [View all releases on Gitea](https://git.laantungir.net/laantungir/otp/releases)
+
+**For x86_64 Linux:**
+```bash
+# Download latest x86_64 binary (replace VERSION with latest from releases page)
+wget https://git.laantungir.net/laantungir/otp/releases/latest/download/otp-latest-linux-x86_64
+chmod +x otp-latest-linux-x86_64
+./otp-latest-linux-x86_64
+```
+
+**For ARM64/AArch64 (Raspberry Pi, etc.):**
+```bash
+# Download latest ARM64 binary
+wget https://git.laantungir.net/laantungir/otp/releases/latest/download/otp-latest-linux-arm64
+chmod +x otp-latest-linux-arm64
+./otp-latest-linux-arm64
+```
+
+> **Note:** If the `/latest/download/` URLs don't work with your Gitea version, visit the [releases page](https://git.laantungir.net/laantungir/otp/releases) and download the latest version manually.
+
+**Or use the local build:**
+```bash
+# After building from source
+./build/otp-x86_64    # x86_64 systems
+./build/otp-arm64     # ARM64 systems
+```
+
+### First Steps
+
+1. **Generate your first pad:**
+   ```bash
+   ./build/otp-x86_64 generate 1GB
+   ```
+
+2. **Encrypt a message:**
+   ```bash
+   ./build/otp-x86_64 encrypt
+   # Follow the interactive prompts
+   ```
+
+3. **Decrypt a message:**
+   ```bash
+   ./build/otp-x86_64 decrypt
+   # Paste the encrypted message
+   ```

+Use the included build script for automatic versioning and cross-compilation:
 
 ```bash
-# Standard build (default)
-./build.sh build
+# Build for current architecture (with auto-versioning)
+./build.sh "commit message"
 
-# Static linking build
-./build.sh static
-
-# Clean build artifacts
-./build.sh clean
-
-# Generate version files only
-./build.sh version
-
-# Install to system
-./build.sh install
-
-# Remove from system
-./build.sh uninstall

+# Build commands
+./build.sh build "commit message"  # Build x86_64 and ARM64 (if cross-compiler available)
+./build.sh clean                   # Clean build artifacts
+./build.sh install                 # Install to system
+./build.sh uninstall               # Remove from system
 ```
 
+The build script automatically:
+- Increments patch version (v0.3.24 → v0.3.25)
+- Creates git commit and tag
+- Builds for x86_64 and ARM64 (if cross-compiler available)
+- Outputs to `build/otp-x86_64` and `build/otp-arm64`
+- Uploads binaries to Gitea releases (if `~/.gitea_token` exists)
+
 ### Traditional Make
 
 You can also use make directly (without automatic versioning):
 
 ```bash
-make            # Standard build
+make            # Build for current architecture
 make static     # Static linking
 make clean      # Clean artifacts
-make install    # Install to /usr/local/bin/
+make install    # Install to /usr/local/bin/otp
 make uninstall  # Remove from system
 ```
 
+Output: `build/otp-$(ARCH)` (e.g., `build/otp-x86_64`)
+
 ## Usage
 
 ### Interactive Mode
 ```bash
-./otp
+./build/otp-x86_64
+# or
+./build/otp-arm64  # On ARM systems
 ```
 
 ### Command Line Mode
 ```bash
 # Generate a new pad
-./otp generate 1GB
+./build/otp-x86_64 generate 1GB
 
 # Encrypt text (interactive input)
-./otp encrypt <pad_hash_or_prefix>
+./build/otp-x86_64 encrypt <pad_hash_or_prefix>
 
 # Decrypt message (interactive input)
-./otp decrypt <pad_hash_or_prefix>
+./build/otp-x86_64 decrypt <pad_hash_or_prefix>
 
 # List available pads
-./otp list
+./build/otp-x86_64 list
 ```
 
-## Version System Details
+## Version System
+
+### Centralized Version Management
+Version is defined in a single location: `src/main.h`
+```c
+#define OTP_VERSION "v0.3.24"
+```
+
+All code references this constant, ensuring consistency across:
+- Main menu display
+- ASCII armor output
+- Help/usage text
 
 ### Automatic Version Increment
-Every build automatically increments the patch version:
-- v0.1.0 → v0.1.1 → v0.1.2, etc.
-- Creates git tags for each version
-- Embeds detailed build information
+The `build.sh` script automatically:
+1. Increments patch version (v0.3.24 → v0.3.25)
+2. Updates `OTP_VERSION` in `src/main.h`
+3. Creates git commit and tag
+4. Pushes to remote repository
 
 ### Manual Version Control
 For major/minor releases, create tags manually:
 ```bash
 # Feature release (minor bump)
-git tag v0.2.0    # Next build: v0.2.1
+git tag v0.4.0    # Next build: v0.4.1
 
 # Breaking change (major bump)
 git tag v1.0.0    # Next build: v1.0.1
 ```

-### Generated Files
-The build system automatically manages Git versioning by incrementing tags.

+## State Files
+
+Pad state files (`.state`) use a human-readable text format:
+```
+offset=1234567890
+```
+
+This tracks how many bytes of each pad have been used. The format is:
+- **Human-readable**: Can inspect with `cat checksum.state`
+- **Backward compatible**: Automatically reads old binary format
+- **Easy to debug**: Can manually edit if needed
