 Viper is a complete configuration solution. Designed to work within an
 application to handle file based configuration and seamlessly marry that with
 command line flags which can also be used to control application behavior.
+Viper also supports retrieving configuration values from remote key/value stores. 
+Etcd is currently supported, and Consul is coming soon.
 
 ## Why Viper?

+### Remote Key/Value Store Support
+Viper will read a config string (as JSON, TOML, or YAML) retrieved from a
+path in a Key/Value store such as Etcd or Consul.  These values take precedence
+over default values, but are overriden by configuration values retrieved from disk, 
+flags, or environment variables.
+
+Viper uses [crypt](https://github.com/xordataexchange/crypt) to retrieve configuration
+from the k/v store, which means that you can store your configuration values
+encrypted and have them automatically decrypted if you have the correct
+gpg keyring.  Encryption is optional.
+
+You can use remote configuration in conjunction with local configuration, or
+independently of it.  
+
+`crypt` has a command-line helper that you can use to put configurations
+in your k/v store. `crypt` defaults to etcd on http://127.0.0.1:4001.
+
+	go get github.com/xordataexchange/crypt/bin/crypt
+	crypt set -plaintext /config/hugo.json /Users/hugo/settings/config.json
+
+Confirm that your value was set:
+
+	crypt get -plaintext /config/hugo.json
+
+See the `crypt` documentation for examples of how to set encrypted values, or how
+to use Consul.

+### Remote Key/Value Store Example - Encrypted
