C# (.NET) Kiosk Demo

This is a demonstration .NET app to show how BitPay can be used in the
context of a retail kiosk. It utilizes the the pos facade and with a simple
configuration file you can customize the posData fields that are sent to
BitPay. This app uses database migrations to manage the database schema and by default
uses an embedded SQLite database to make it easy to start.

If you'd like to utilize Instant Payment Notifications (IPN), you will need to either run the application somewhere publicly available, or use a tool such as ngrok to allow public traffic to tunnel to your local machine.
