 ### Usage
  - `./crawl-VerusID.sh` (command line options are ignored)
 
+## update-id.sh
+This script craetes a new R-address and assigns the identity specified in the command line parameters over to that new address.
+
+### Prerequisites
+ - Linux OS
+ - `jq` installed
+ - The `verus` binary in the PATH environment. If not found it falls back to the location of the `verus` binary is set on line 7 of the script.
+
+### Usage
+ - `./update-id.sh -i "Identity@"`
+ - `./update-id.sh --identity i-address`
+
 ## block-stats.sh
 Shows statistics about difficulty (max/avg/min), hashrate (max/avg/min), amount of blocks (total/PoW/PoS), Rewards (Total/PoW/PoS), Fees (Total/PoW/PoS).
