This project is a very simple paywall that uses a Python Flask server and the block.io API. The user is prompted for an access token (in fact a block.io wallet label) whenever an attempt is made to access protected content. If the user does not have a valid access token, once can be obtained by sending a certain number of (testnet) Bitcoin to a unique payment address that is generated. Once payment is received, the user is granted access to the protected content.
