Payshares Client

The Payshares client is an AngularJS application that allows users to interact with the Payshares network from their browser. This client allows users to register for an account, generate a wallet containing cryptographic keys, and submit transactions to the Payshares network.

You can see it in action here: https://launch.payshares.org

Security

Encrypting secret data:

• Secret keys are encrypted in the browser before storing them in a payshares-wallet server.
• Wallets are encrypted using 256bit AES in GCM mode.
• The key used to encrypt/decrypt a wallet is derived from a username and password using scrypt.

Signing transactions:

• Transactions are signed using the Ed25519 signature system implemented in tweetnacl.
• Signing keys are generated randomly during registration.
• Transactions are signed in the browser before submitting them to a paysharesd server.

Setting up your dev server

# Install bower and gulp
npm install -g bower
npm install -g gulp

# Install dev dependencies
npm install

# Install app dependencies
bower install

# (optional) Install phantomjs for automated testing
brew install phantomjs

Starting your dev server

gulp develop

By default, your client will be running against the stg environment, which is connected to the payshares testnet.

Testing against the production wallet and api services

Switching what service endpoints your client is talking too is as simple as running a gulp task and restarting your dev server.

gulp config-prd
gulp develop

gulp config-prd will overwrite app/scripts/config.js with the values from config/prd.js, pointing you at the production apis.
