Environment Variables #1

Some of us would like to know where to put in the environmental variables where it says:

whether you want to actually execute trades. You must have configured your API keys and bitcoin addresses through the following environment variables:

MTGOX_KEY
MTGOX_SECRET
MTGOX_ADDRESS
BITSTAMP_KEY
BITSTAMP_SECRET
BITSTAMP_ADDRESS

Thanks

This uses the dotenv gem to store environment variables.

The .gitignore file for this project includes the .env file, so it is never checked into Git (which could make it so your API keys easily make it public online), and this is proper.

You just need a .env file in the root of the project, and then set BITSTAMP_KEY=foobar in that file, with one record per line.
