This project demonstrates the implementation of micropayments using Ravencoin. It's designed as a simple Express.js web server that showcases a practical use-case for cryptocurrency-based transactions in accessing web content.
Access Control: Initially, users who have not completed a payment are gently encouraged to do so. This ensures a seamless and user-friendly experience. Secure Area: Upon successful payment, users gain access to a secure section of the website (/secure), where exclusive content is hosted. This area can include a variety of materials such as videos, images, and other rich content, even including dynamically fetched content from external sources.
When a user attempts to access the /secure area without having made a payment, they are presented with a prompt, guiding them to complete the transaction. Once the payment is verified, the user is granted access to the /secure area, unlocking the exclusive content.
You need to have GIT and Node.js/NPM installed. Install node from here https://nodejs.org/en
Clone this repository
run npm install to install dependencies.
run npm start to start.
For every new session, a new wallet is created in the ./wallets directory. Each wallet is just a json file with the 12 words, with the WIF being used. So after paying, you can transfer the funds back to your self.
You can change network in the ./config.json file
rvn for mainnet
rvn-test for testnet
Please note, if you visit the web app, a Ravencoin address is stored in your user session. If you then change network, restart the server, your session is still alive but it has an address for the wrong network. In that case, remove cookies.
