This repository includes both a Rails server and several rake tasks to run the automated transaction and donation processes.

The schedule of rake tasks is:

• 14:00 UTC (daily): rake philanthropist:donate
• 14:30 UTC (daily): rake philanthropist:confirm
• 15:00 UTC (daily): rake philanthropist:exchange

The order of these tasks is the opposite in which value moves through the system. While this lengthens the process of donating, it allows for more time to investigate or intervene in case something goes wrong.
