 Now you will need to simulate two participants and a Coordinator to sign the
 transaction, and the FROST server that handles communications between them.
 It's probably easier to open four terminals.

 ```
-cargo run --bin coordinator -- -C redpallas --http -r -

-- Copy the session ID that is printed.
