Minimal Bitcoin to USD/Dwolla Escrow service

Primary LanguageRuby

Smallest Escrow Service

Trade Bitcoin for USD using bitcoind and dwolla.com to perform the transfer.

Escrow services are useful because its easier (in theory) to trust an escrow service than a receiving party due to motivations. An escrow service is willing to be a public entity with a verifiable identity when two parties with no mutual history want to trade value.

Setup

copy config.yml.sample to config.yml and fill in the blanks. use ./start to begin.
