FAQ
Q: Do I need geth running?
A: No. You can run your own local geth with RPC enabled: geth.exe --rpc --rpcport "8545" --rpcaddr="localhost" --rpccorsdomain "*" but much easier is to use web version
https://laundromat-site.github.io/ with MetaMask browser plugin enabled.
Q: Do I need to unlock my account?
A: Yes. When using local geth you should unlock your account to create, join or withdraw from your mixing session. With MetaMask you will see a notification to confirm each transaction separately.
Q: What if I do not have enough participants? My funds are locked?
A: Yes your funds are locked but you can create more participants (not real) to gain access to your funds. In this case your coins won't be properly mixed.
Q: Is ETC supported?
A: Yes you can deploy mixers on ETC network.

A: It is Javascript. Contracts are using Solidity language.
Q: Is app a binary?
A: No it is a HTML page with some Javascript. It is running in your browser.
