Websockets Server Gateway for wallets

Gateway

The darkwallet gateway is a daemon providing the following services to wallets:

• Websocket connectivity (talks zmq with an obelisk backend)
• Obelisk protocol streamlining (doesn't talk obelisk proto but a simplified and parsed protocol)
• Broadcaster and transaction radar
• Simple lobby services (chatroom service with no guarantees)
• Provices currency prices ticker (over bitcoinaverage at the moment)

Generally the gateway tries to provide all services a wallet may need acting as a proxy to mask the user address so as to not compromise it in many services.

Running:

To run with more logging:

python daemon/gateway.py --logging=debug --log_to_stderr=true

you can also use other tornado logging options, check it's documentation.

Check config.json file for tuning it.

• Add to wiki method documentation, and some link to learn about concepts
• Create a image-schema of Darkwallet ecosystem parts and how are connected
