IMPORTANT: you will be exposing your BitGo wallets' private keys on this server. This may be a substantial security risk. Without airtight protection, your funds might be exposed. Securing your server is of paramount importance. If you proceed, you are doing so at your own risk.

  • Configuring SSL on this Bitgo Express node serves no purpose, and may actually “break” itit’s usage with CAS.

  • CAS only “talks” to Bitgo Express via the API, which then interacts with Bitgo.
