Do work. Track time. Get coins.
Cointract.me is a collaborative task tracking app that allows you to post jobs, get hired, track time, and accept bitcoin! Invoices are reconciled using the Insight API and payouts may be facilitated using the BitPay API.
Clone the repository and install dependencies with NPM.
~# git clone https://github.com/gordonwritescode/cointract.me.git
~# cd cointract.me
~# [sudo] npm install
Create a config.json in the app's root directory, following the conventions
in config.example.json.
~# cp config.example.json config.json
Run tests and fire up the server.
~# npm test
~# NODE_ENV=development npm start
We use the node-bitpay-client
library for accepting payments for job postings. If you wish to charge your
users for posting jobs, set the payments.price and payments.currency in your
config.json. If the payments.price is set to 0, then the job will be
be published automatically after a brief moment.
Consult the node-bitpay-client documentation for details on setting up your client access keys for your BitPay account. The quick and dirty way:
~# cd node_modules/bitpay && sudo npm link
~# bitpay keygen
~# bitpay login -e [email protected]
Then check your email and approve the access key request or use the key manager interface from within the BitPay website's dashboard to approve the key. Once approved, you can run the following to verify things are working:
~# bitpay whoami
Then update your config.json and set bitpay.pubkey and bitpay.secret to
the absolute path to your keys. By default, this is $HOME/.bitpay/api.key
and $HOME/.bitpay/api.pub, but may differ if you set an explicit path using
the -o or --output option when generating the keys.
You should generate a self-signed SSL certificate to run the application with
your config's server.ssl.enabled set to true, for testing and development
purposes.
You can do this easily by following this guide.
