pygate

Python interface to Textile's Powergate Filecoin API

This a HackFS project.

1. Create a Python gRPC client for the Powergate API.
2. Create a Flask application that reads and writes to IPFS & Filecoin using this client.
3. Drop the Flask app in an Electron shell and create a cross-platform, drag-and-drop desktop app that moves local files to and from IPFS/Filecoin.
4. Add smart contracts to the desktop app to provide escrow funding for storage deals.
