This is an app aimed at assisting servers in monetizing client sessions by providing an API through which to use javascript to calculate bitcoin hashes.

By having multiple client sessions you can distribute the work across multiple clients.

If a site were popular enough it could be quite successful!

So, starting the server is easy.

Just clone the repo, cd into it and use PHP's internal server.

php -S localhost:8000

Then open the demo at localhost:8000/index.html

Look inside of credentials.class.php, adjust those variables for your local instance of bitcoind.

If you're looking for an easy way to set up a bitcoind instance, and you know vagrant, you can try bitcoin-vagrant.

Just jump in and it will work beautifully!
