SSL keys
Software
Download some software that can call OpenSSL. For Linux, this is often available by installing the openssl package. For Windows, something like the toolkit at Sourceforge will help.
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 software
In order to manually accept trades, you need to sign them 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.
