User flows in brief:

1. Requestor proposes a bounty by choosing an issue and putting the bounty assets in escrow for a period of time.
2. Responder negotiates an assignment to the issue, opens a PR for the work, and negotiates to close the issue with the PR.
3. Responder signs a claim that a PR closes the issue while logged in with GitHub credentials.
4. An oracle server verifies the responder's GitHub credentials and that the PR belongs to the responder and closes the issue. It then invites the responder to claim the bounty.
5. The responder claims the bounty.
6. The requestor receives a "stamp" NFT from the oracle, attesting to the completion of the issue.

Getting Started

TODO: explain credentials needed by the server.

# start oracle server
yarn dev:server

# start web server (and, proxy to oracle server via /api)

README-local-chain has details about starting a testing environment and deploying the contract.
