RevealerAPI

This TruSet Revealer API server is a service that monitors the commit-reveal poll contract, and reveals votes on behalf of TruSet users.

It is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license

Why

Commit reveal voting preserves the secrecy of votes until a point in time when they should be tallied. This prevents people from voting based on how other people vote. On a practical level, it can be cumbersome to have a user return to an application to reveal their vote when it comes time to tally the votes, so we allow users to delegate this reveal step to us, or to anyone running this service.

Environment

Go doesn't always play nicely with relative paths as imports, so to work with or execute the code in this repo you will need to clone it into your Go path. You can achieve this by modifying your Go path, but here's how I did it using the default GOPATH value (should work on MacOS or Linux):

• Check out this repo inside your GO path, under /src/github.com/TruSet.
  • You can achieve this by modifying your Go path, but here's how I did it (should work on MacOS or Linux)
    • cd $GOPATH/src
    • mkdir -p github.com/TruSet
    • cd github.com/TruSet
    • git clone https://github.com/TruSet/TruSetAPIServer.git
• If you want to work with the code from a workspace elsewhere, set up a symbolic link, e.g.
  • cd <your workspace>
  • ln -s $GOPATH/src/github.com/TruSet/TruSetAPIServer TruSetAPIServer
• Install dependencies:
  • cd into the cloned repo directory, e.g cd <your workspace>/TruSetAPIServer
  • go get ./...

Running locally

• go run main.go

  • Run go run main.go -h for usage

• If you have access to the TruSet/TruSet repo, you can deploy the app from the TruSet/TruSet repo and start the app with docker-compose up revealer-api revealer-worker
