eth-exchange poc implementation

Prerequisites

• node
• npm
• mongodb
• cpp-ethereum (from this branch, it's not yet compatible with ethereum poc8 network)

Installation

Addendum for ArchLinux

Make sure you have node.js and mongodb. You can get them via pacman with sudo pacman -S nodejs mongodb

If you are getting problems at npm install due to gyp then use: npm config set python /usr/bin/python2.7 -g

This way npm (and gyp) will know which version of python to use and not use python 3 which is the ArchLinux default.
