+# flo-exchange
+
+This is an order matching algorithm website code inspired by "Bitcoin Exchange Project" 
+by David Veksler (http://automagical.rationalmind.net/2013/10/16/bitcoin-order-matching-algorithm/).
+
+The algorithm, however, may not exactly work same as David's as it was modified a little to meet Ranchi Mall's 
+Florincoin Exchange project.
+
+The script contains basic functionalities of buying, selling and market order of, in fact, any article that can be traded online 
+(Florincoin tokens in our case). The system also contains a basic Facebook authentication system to store users basic information. 
+It is currently a singe page website with basic display of users, transactions and other important features that an exchange site 
+is expected to have.
