In order to accept any trades, whether automatically or manually, you need to sign a message using your private key. The reason for this is that no Bitcoins can be sent without you explicitly authorising them.

Commands
- Run openssl genrsa 4096 > private.key and keep this key private
- Also run openssl rsa -pubout < private.key > public.key and send us public.key via email to admin@bittylicious.com.
Signing trades
In order to accept any trades, whether automatically or manually, you need to sign a message using your private key. The reason for this is that no Bitcoins can be sent without you explicitly authorising them. Even if the main Bittylicious server gets compromised, the service that sends the Bitcoins will refuse to send them unless a message is signed using your private key.
The software uses PHP so please install the latest version. For Windows, you will also need to make a few changes in order to be able to run PHP via the command line. The exact command line arguments to run are provided on the page for each trade.
