## Instructions

# This sets up SSL on a localhost connection. Not terribly useful but it will be iterated on.

#  Linux: cd ~/.bitcoin
#  Mac: cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Bitcoin/
#  openssl genrsa -out server.pem 2048
#  openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha256 -days 3650 -key server.pem > server.cert
#  The prompts are optional, you can just hit enter

# Verify that your bitcoin.conf exists in the above directory and contains the following lines:
# server=1
# rpcssl=1
# rpcuser=CHANGETHIS
# rpcpassword=CHANGETHAT
# rpcsslciphers=TLSv1_2
# rpcsslprivatekeyfile=server.pem
# rpcsslcertificatechainfile=server.cert
