Etherbot

Etherbot will watch the Ethereum blockchain and notify you when your address mines a block!

Requirements

A working Ethereum client, that you can connect to via the RPC interface.

Install

$ git clone https://github.com/tcoulter/etherbot.git
$ cd etherbot
$ npm install

Configure

You'll want to configure Etherbot before running it. The file config.example.json provides an example configuration. Use this file to create your own config.json:

$ cp ./config.example.json ./config.json
$ nano config.json

Here's a quick list of the items you need to specify within config.json:

• addresses: Array of objects that each contain an address and email keyword. If a block is mined by any addresses in the array, the email specified will be notified. e.g., [ {address: "0x...", email: "[email protected]"}, ... ]
• mailer: Object with two keys:
  • transporter: The transporter object passed directly to nodemailer. This tells nodemailer how you want to send your email.
  • from: The email address that emails will be sent from.
• rpc: Object with two keys:
  • host: Host your Ethereum client is running on (defaults to localhost)
  • port: Port your Ethereum client's RPC interface is running on (defaults to 8545)
• tip_address: The address you'd like shown in the footer of the email. Defaults to the author's address.

Running

After properly configuring Etherbot, you can either run npm start, or calling the file directly:

$ ./etherbot.es6
