Proof-of-Concept Overview/Demo

Join t.me/moneysocket on Telegram as a gathering point for discussion.

There is a YouTube playlist with screencasts and discussions. The first video is a demo of the proof-of-concept.

The branch of the running code used in the first proof-of-concept video is in the branch called proof-of-concept.
