# Myel | ETHOnline

We started this repo to separate development during ETHOnline hackathon. We have a developed a

MacOS app in a private repo to interact with retrieval market. We may release an open source web

UI in the future so anyone can fork and create their own client for the retrieval market.

This repo features our first working retrieval market implementation in golang as well as 

prototype contracts for our retrieval payment management and FIL lending systems.

You can find information about how to run the oracle system in its sub directory.

## Getting Started

The retieval market relies on a remote lotus node we run ourselves. There is a token

in the source that can be used to run the app however if we see increase usage we may 

disable it at any time. The new Filecoin product from Infura should also work.

Both nodes need wallets with addresses on chain. The provider node will look for a `provider.private` key

file and client node looks for a `client.private`. There is a program to generate new addresses in

the filground directory but you still need to start with a private key file to a small amount of FIL from.

### Running the provider

First we can run the provider node

```

cd rtmkt/provider

go run .

```

This will load an arbitrary file from a web url into a temporary IPFS repo and start

looking for peers on the local network.

Once a retrieval happened our provider node will update the payment channel and settle it.

### Running the client

```

cd rtmkt/client

go run .

```

Our client node will look for a provider peer on the local network and immediately start 

a retrieval.

### Running the api

The starts a node which can both provide and retieve content. It uses separate addresses 

for easier debugging experience.

```

cd rtmkt/api

go run .

```

## UI

We will update this part soon with instructions on how to download the macOS app.

We plan on building a windows version too but feel free to open an issue if you'd 

like us to prioritize it in our roadmap.

## Contributions

Best thing is to reach out if you'd like to contribute so we can sync up properly. 

We'll review PRs and issues too.
