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.
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.
