This Python application is meant to demonstrate how a transaction over an Ethereum blockchain can be automated, and the possible use of the automation by simulating a service in which freelance FinTech professionals can be directly paid in Ethereum, with the wage being based on hours they'll be hired for and their own personal rate. In the application, the customer can choose which FinTech professional they would like to hire, as well as how long they want to hire them. The total Ethereum that they'll be paid ends up getting sent directly to their wallet.
