Ivan Vilata-i-Balaguer f74d88cb33 Factor out peer node creation in network stress test 
This will be useful later when stopping and restarting peer nodes in mailbox send test.  I added a getter to ``P2PService`` to get its public keyring.

Build Status

What is Bitsquare?

Bitsquare is a cross-platform desktop application that allows users to trade national currency (dollars, euros, etc) for bitcoin without relying on centralized exchanges such as Coinbase, Bitstamp or (the former) Mt. Gox.

By running Bitsquare on their local machines, users form a peer-to-peer network. Offers to buy and sell bitcoin are broadcast to that network, and through the process of offering and accepting these trades via the Bitsquare UI, a market is established.

There are no central points of control or failure in the Bitsquare network. There are no trusted third parties. When two parties agree to trade national currency for bitcoin, the bitcoin to be bought or sold is held in escrow using multisignature transaction capabilities native to the bitcoin protocol.

Because the national currency portion of any trade must be transferred via traditional means such as a wire transfer, Bitsquare incorporates first-class support for human arbitration to resolve any errors or disputes.

You can read about all of this and more in the whitepaper, arbitration and risk analysis documents. Several videos are available as well.

Status

Bitsquare has releases the beta version on the 27th of April 2016 after 3 months testing on mainnet.
