Multsig Escrow Manager

Bitcoin allows for complex types of transactions, including multisignature transactions, which can be used to implement an Escrow system that minimizes the risk of the Arbitrator stealing the payment. However, it's not straight-forward to users how to use those types of transactions.

This web application aims to provide a location where users can keep track of Escrow payments, to inform them how to manage multisig transactions, and to keep track of partially-signed transactions completing the payment.

The multisig/bitcoin parts aren't completed yet.

Installation

This project uses nodejs. Make sure you have that installed.

Use npm install to install of the required dependencies and to compile the project.

Copy "config-example.json" to "config.json" and then customize its values.

• secret must be a random unpredictable string.

• audience must be set to the domain that the web app is accessed by and must have the protocol and port number. This is used by Persona.

• subdir can sett to the path the web app is accessed by. This can be used if you're hosting this app under a subdirectory by an nginx proxy redirect for example.

• trust_proxy can be set to true to trust "X-Forwarded-Proto", "X-Forwarded-Host", and "X-Forwarded-For" headers. This is an Express setting.

• ga is optional and is for Google Analytics values.

• The socket values can be set to a path to a UNIX socket.

• redis is optionally used for sessions currently (sqlite will be automatically be used as fallback). The redis:cache values are intended to refer to a secondary redis daemon that does not persist its memory to disk, but it isn't used yet.

• admin:email is an address displayed on error pages if set.

Use NODE_ENV=production node app.js to run the web app.
