Introduction
Spin up an eIOU node in Docker, then walk through the wallet GUI in your browser to manage settings, add a contact, and send your first eIOU. The Docker setup step uses the command line; the rest of the demo runs entirely in the GUI.
What You'll Learn in This Walkthrough
Four short basics pages followed by two advanced ones — set up the Docker container and drive everything from the wallet GUI, then dig into multi-hop P2P routing and payback methods.
Set up Docker environment
Run the eIOU image, capture the seed phrase and auth code, and open the wallet GUI in your browser.
Settings & configuration
Sign in to the GUI with your auth code, find the Settings tab, change a value, and locate the in-app help affordances.
Add & manage contacts
Copy your node address, send a contact request, accept the request on the other node, and verify the relationship.
Send & receive eIOUs
Send your first eIOU from the GUI, watch the balance update on both sides, and explore the transaction history.
Advanced — P2P eIOUs
Add a third node, link it to an existing one, and watch an eIOU hop through a mutual contact.
Advanced — Payback methods
Set up the rails you accept off-chain, look up a contact's methods, and record settlements on-chain.
