I ran into an issue, and I'm sure I could figure it out with a few hours of fiddling, but experience has taught me that sometime's it's better to just risk looking like a n00b and ask the damn question, than to waste a bunch of time on something that someone already knows the answer to.

I cloned the repo, then ran npm i and npm start which resulted in the error:
Error in ./src/middleware/metacoin.js Module not found: ../../build/contracts/MetaCoin.json in /Users/*your-username-here*/Blockchain/railroad/src/middleware

Seems to me like it must be something to do with the build process, and that's when I realized I hadn't actually run any build commands. Is there a missing build step in the ReadMe?

Thanks for your work in putting this together btw! I'm really excited to make use of it.

Some examples would include:

1. Direct using HttpProvider. This is already in project for connecting to testrpc on localhost
2. As injected by a Wallet such as MetaMask(?). I believe this will allow for using the wallet to determine which EVM to use.
3. As injected (provided) by uPort which allows for authenticating with a digital identity.
4. other?

Will likely end up similar to what truffle init webpack project is using which is effectively what is implemented now but logic is reversed due to error:

Uncaught Error: The MetaMask Web3 object does not support synchronous methods like eth_getBalance without a callback parameter.

There's also overhead having to re-initialize MetaMask each time testrpc is restarted.

I am using Node v7.3.0 and have the latest truffle and testrpc installed. Any ideas?

What plans are being made to update this section? What is necessary to do so?

create-react-app ejected provides a nice base project based on webpack.

truffle provides a nice build and compile for Solidity smart contracts which includes appending javascript to the specified app.js to create deployed() references to the deployed contracts.

There are instructions for using Bundling Truffle with Webpack and that's what i'd like to see in this project.

Part of the challenge is modifying the somewhat rich build package provided by create-react-app to fit.
