The App

A fictional digital marketplace where users can exchange knowledge for coins. Users are given 50 coins upon registration. They can put up items with secret content in the marketplace to be purchased by other users.

The following rules apply:

Upon registration a user can create items to be sold on the marketplace
Registered users can view public information about all the items in the marketplace but they won't be able to see the item's secret content unless they purchase it using their inventory of coins
Upon purchase the cost of the item will be subtracted from the buyer's coins and added to the seller's account. 1 coin will be kept by the application as a processing fee on top of every purchase
- Purchases need to properly leverage transactions to ensure that a user actually has enough coins, otherwise no account balances are modified
