German finance minister Olaf Scholz talks about digital euro
By: Jeffrey Hancock
Tags: Gambling, Ethereum Blockchain, Ethereum, Lottery, Blockcahin

Digital euro is not a fantasy — Germany’s finance minister Olaf Scholz argued, that country should launch its own digital currency.

Germany’s finance minister and vice-chancellor, Olaf Scholz is an active supporter of national cryptocurrency idea. He argues that such a payment system would be a great thing to integrate into the traditional world financial system.

“We should not leave the field to China, Russia, the US or any private providers”.

It should be reminded that last month Germany passed a new strategy, that prohibit any parallel currencies to be issued in the country. Scholz noted that currency issuance is one of the most important tasks for every state. This task should not be left to private companies.

On the other hand, China is almost ready to launch its own digital currency later this year or early next year. Voice of Germany in 2019 may bring us to the digital euro in the future.

We are sure that digital Euro brings possibilities for easy exchange between fiat and other cryptocurrencies on the market for users. Maybe tomorrow crypto holders will be capable to convert their Ethereum into fiat via digital Euro within a second. And while everyone is waiting for its release, you can already earn your Ethereum playing at Ethex.bet!
2key Integrates Valid for Network Security
By: H. S.
Tags: Ethereum Blockchain, Blockchain, Bitcoin, Cybersecurity, Referral Marketing

2key Network’s referral campaigns are a hyper-scalable product. Despite operating through smart contracts, the user dashboard enables anyone, irrespective of technical know-how, to launch a campaign with rewards escrowed and distributed by smart contracts. The benefits of 2key’s referral campaigns and their superiority over alternative exposure methods are explained in this article.

As 2key Network aims to empower SMEs and SMBs by offering them a promotional tool that adjusts to their tight budgets, limited network, and limited capacity for economies of scale, it was imperative to make the utility of 2key accessible even among those with little to no grasp of blockchain technology. Once the main-net launches and campaigns begin to grow, smart contract security will be of imperative value.

To ensure that anyone can utilize Smart Links and/or 2key Network’s referral campaigns, 2key has integrated Valid Network’s security technology.

What is Valid Network?

Valid Network is a technology suite that offers security solutions to decentralized developments. Valid monitors transactions to check abnormalities and subsequently pinpoint potential security threats and it constantly monitors smart contracts and repos to check for vulnerabilities.

2key Network x Valid Network

2key Network will leverage Valid Network’s security benefits through a number of means. First and foremost, as contractor count grows, so will referral campaigns. Valid’s technology will be used to scan through the smart contracts being generated by contractors’ campaigns, and the transactions being conducted within and by 2key Network’s various smart contracts. This will generate a real-time analysis of the Network’s state of security.

Thus, contractors needn’t be knowledgeable about smart contract security as that is handled by 2key Network’s own integrations. Any potential threats that may arise will be detected by the real-time analysis and be subsequently neutralized, whether be in the form of transaction or smart contract irregularity or an attack.

Additionally, Valid can scan through private repos and this will enable real-time security proofing as 2key moves ahead with development. This technical integration plays an important role in enhancing 2key Network’s security without making any user experience barriers. Much of this incredible technology is in its early stage and 2key Network has partnered with Valid to utilize it in a live product.
Help! Why is my ETH transaction stuck?
Tags: Ethereum Blockchain, Guides And Tutorials, Ethereum, Blockchain, Ethereum Wallet

You know that feeling. If one transaction gets stuck, all other transactions get clogged up as well. No doubt it’s a frustrating experience we’ve all faced before. Here’s why it happens and how to resolve it.

Contents

1. Why is it stuck?

2. Setting the Right Gas Fees

3. Speed up/ Cancel a Transaction on Metamask

Why is it stuck?

Ethereum transactions must be verified by the ‘miners’ of the chain. Each miner is rewarded with a small sum for their efforts: the gas fees you offer. It’s an incentive program that keeps the Blockchain decentralized.

Gas fees can fluctuate based on user activity at the time. If more users are setting their gas fees high for whatever reason, standard gas fees also go up.

So if your transactions are stuck, it’s likely because your gas fees are lower than the accepted average at the time. Eventually, your transaction may be approved but it may A) Take forever, B) Result in a failed transaction. Fortunately, there are workarounds.

Setting the Right Gas Fees

Before making a transaction, find out what the accepted Gas Fees are at the time. By setting the GWEI (Gas Price) to a volume miners will accept, you save yourself the hassle of dealing with a stuck transaction.

Here are 4 Easy Steps:

Step 1. Visit ETH Gas Station to check current rates

Step 2. Start your transaction and select Advanced Settings

Step 3. Set Gas Price equal to or above Safe Low

Step 4. Hit confirm.

If you feel gas fees are too high, we suggest waiting for it to drop before making a transaction.

Note that even though two transactions share the same GWEI, their cost when converted to USD can still vary. This depends on how complicated or ‘heavy’ a transaction task is. For example, claiming a Crab NFT reward in CryptantCrab’s Arena costs more than claiming Daily Rewards, because it is a ‘heavier’ task.

Speed up/ Cancel a Transaction on Metamask

Image Source: ETH Gas Station

To declog your pending transactions, try to speed up or cancel the first transaction that got stuck. Each wallet operates differently, but Metamask is the easiest to do this on. Links are provided below for other wallet users.

Open up your browser with Metamask installed and click on the icon. Then look for a stuck transaction with the options to ‘Speed Up’ or ‘Cancel’.

Select ‘Speed up’

You will be prompted to readjust the transaction’s gas fee. Bring up ETH Gas Station again and set the GWEI equal to or higher than the Safe Low volume.

Select ‘Cancel’

You will prompted to confirm your cancellation with a minimal cancellation fee. These fees are fixed, usually much lower than your initial gas fee — which will not be charged until the cancellation has processed.

Disclaimer

Keep in mind both procedures take a bit of time to process, so it is actually possible for your stuck transaction to be approved before your speed up/ cancel request has processed.

Simply about ERC-20
Tags: Ethereum Blockchain, Blockchain Technology, Ethereum, Blockchain, Erc20

AIDUS Coin (AID) is one of business models, which AIDUS platform is based on. The currency symbol of the AIDUS Coin is ‘AID’ and it’s a ERC20-based token.

An ERC-20 token is just a cryptocurrency that’s built on the Ethereum platform.

ERC-20 stands for Ethereum Request for Comments and “20” means just a number that are assigned to a proposal that would create some structure in the wild west of tokens.

ERC-20 is a quideline or standart for when you want to create your own token. It defines 6 mandatory functions that the Smart Contract should implement and 3 optional ones.

It’s possible to dive optionally a name of a token, a symbol and it also allows to control how dividsble the token is by specifying how many decimals it supports.

The mandatory functions are a bit more complex: for starters it’s necessary to create a method that defines the total supply of the token. When this limit is reached, the Smart Contract will refuse to create new tokens.

Next up is the “balanceOf” method which has to return how many tokens a given address has.

Than there are two transfer methods: “transfer” which takes a certain amount of tokens from the total supply and gives then to a user and “transferFrom” whach can be used to transfer tokens between any two users who have them.

Finally there is “approve” and “allowance” methods. “Approve” verifies that your contract can give a certain amount of tokens to a user, takind into account the total supply.

The “allowance” method is almost the same except that it checks if one user has a high enough balance to send a certain amount of tokens to someone else.

Keep paying attention on AIDUS Project!

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply!

Interesting reflections indeed, some points that I would like to highlight are:

The objective of Bitcoin is, as mentioned in the Whitepaper, to “to provide a peer-to-peer alternative to the current financial system” and not just as a money-transfer system. Conceptualizing Bitcoin as such would be to limit its potentiality but also to have fundamentally misunderstood its value proposition. Bitcoin can replace the current financial system given that it is a deflationary currency that guaranteed exchanges of value with no intermediaries e.g. central bank. The very nature of Bitcoin is that of being decentralized and secure. These are its two most valuable characteristics. You will never find a monetary system more secure than Bitcoin — currently up more than 99% of the time. Also, claims are that only outlaws use Bitcoin. This has been dismantled, I suggest to read Chainanalysis 2020 Crime Report for all info related to cryptocurrencies and crime. The Lightning Network does not make Bitcoin useless, on the contrary it leaves more room on the Bitcoin blockchain to carry out important transactions that necessitate the security provided by the network, thus strengthening it actually!

It’s always good to discuss, thanks again for your thoughts

👉 Interviews Are Now Only Available Via Our Newsletter.

Name: Pranav Burnwal

Role: Co-Founder & CTO (Blockchain) @Edufied

Location: Singapore

Pranav has trained over 300 people on the blockchain. The attendees have included professionals from the likes of Wipro, E & Y, IRIS Software, and more. The audience usually ranges from junior developers to senior directors.

1. What Kind Of Project Have You Developed In Blockchain?

I’ve built a range of blockchain-related projects, such as

Verification As A Service

Product Lifecycle Tracking

Asset Management

Rewards Management

Data Coordination

Cryptocurrency Exchanges

Token-Based Games

2. What Problems Do You Think Can Be Solved With Blockchain?

Anywhere that there’s a possibility for parties involved in a transaction to tamper with the system blockchain can improve, if not fully solve.

3. How Do You Think Blockchain Will Impact Our Lives?

People around the world are beginning to understand how the current system is not transparent and with many loopholes. The loopholes are exploited by people and companies alike. In the end, this hurts the daily consumer.

Blockchain technology isn’t a direct answer to all the problems, but it sets a stage for more transparency and audibility within the ‘system’.

4. How Would You Describe Your Experience As A Developer?

I’ve been working in the blockchain space for over four years. I started as a research developer, and become a CTO & Co-Founder blockchain startup.

I come from a research background, hence the difficulty of blockchain technology is what attracted me in the first place. Initially, it was just research papers, concepts, and people talking in niche developer channels, but today we have a myriad of tools, libraries, frameworks encouraging developers.

My experience is a very positive one, and the journey phenomenal.

5. How Important Do You Think Ethereum Is?

Here’s an analogy to answer this question:

If Bitcoin is a pilot project, then Ethereum is a full production application. Both are fully-fledged applications with their benefits and uses.

Ethereum was the tipping point for developers; at least that was my reaction after reading the whitepaper. I needed to work with this technology.

This small video (the world computer) changed the perceptions of so many developers who thought centralized apps were the only thing possible.
EtherZero Next-Gen Master Nodes + Smart Contract Platform
By: The Articles
Tags: Ethereum Blockchain, Hackernoon, Blockchain, NYTimes, Cointelegraph

Hello, crypto and the beloved blockchain Today I will explain the EtherZero (ETZ) Blockchain new generation of smart contract development platform launched by a group of professional DAPP developers to meet DAPP development, see well, take a little your time.

Like many ideas in the blockchain industry, a general confusion shrouds so-called ‘smart contracts’. A new technology made possible by public blockchains, smart contracts are difficult to understand because the term partly confuses the core interaction described. While a standard contract outlines the terms of a relationship (usually one enforceable by law), a smart contract enforces a relationship with cryptographic code. Put differently, smart contracts are programs that execute exactly as they are set up to by their creators.

Organizing EtherZero (ETZ) combines the best of Ethereum builds with a safe and reliable free from transaction cost, Our goal to making the large and complex smart contracts economically viable, stable and continuous, the high scalability and real-time transaction feedback realized by the master node network. and we believe that EtherZero (ETZ) can strengthen it with a right and reliable framework.

What is EtherZero(ETZ)?

EtherZero (ETZ) is a new generation of smart contract development platform launched by a group of professional DAPP developers to meet DAPP development. It is a hard forked project based on Ethereum framework. The Ethereum’s traditional gas fee system is abandoned by the EtherZero, which makes the transaction of each transaction, including those in the smart contract, costs 0 transaction fee. We think that only 0 transaction fee of DAPP can truly fall to the ground and meet people’s daily use needs.

In addition to the core characteristics of the 0 transaction fee, EtherZero introduces and extends the Master node from Dash, which enhances the endogenous economic system of EtherZero, which can effectively stabilize and raise the price of this coin and can effectively manage the community.

The network layer of Ethernet is composed of two level network: Master Node network and traditional PoW node network: Master Node network is responsible for transaction verification, PoW network is responsible for block packing and synchronization. The unique double-layer network structure of EtherZero make Instant Pay function was supported by smart contract, which does not need to wait for more than a dozen pieces of block confirmation (minutes to dozens of minutes).

At the same time, because the network structure using this feature, the EtherZero will be able to support thousands of, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of transaction per second(TPS). Although the Dash coin could achieve the same TPS, EtherZero support Turing complete smart-contract so that it can support the development of a wider range of DAPP.

[Blah-Chain : Talk10. Smart Contracts]
By: April Jung
Tags: Technology, Blahchain, Ethereum, Blockchain, Smart Contracts

Last time we talked about what Ethereum is and learned that smart contracts and dApps are the main features. So, what are they?

Today, let’s talk about what smart contracts are.

Assume that you buy a cup of coffee. You go to the supermarket, pick the coffee you want to buy, and give the money to the cashier to pay for it.

Although you have enough money, you will first need to head to the cashier then pay and leave with your coffee.

Then let’s think about the vending machine. You just put enough money into the machine, it then dispenses a cup of coffee directly.

You do not need to pay via a person. One thing you need to do is to satisfy the condition: pay for the purchase.

This is what smart contracts are like.

The smart contract is a computer code that can execute without the need of third parties when the conditions are met. Ethereum is the first to implement smart contracts.

Smart contracts can prevent danger, such as falsification or unilateral breach of contract, and reduce the reliance of third parties, time and cost.

Developers can code the conditions and contents of the contract by themselves.

The smart contract can be used in various fields such as finance, real estate, IOT, and so on, and that is why smart contracts are considered as an innovative technology.
AMD isn’t as simple ABC
By: Theodor Ghannam
Tags: Crypto Mining, Ethereum Blockchain, Ethereum, Blockchain

Benchmark lessons learned from AMD’s RX480.

An update

First a quick update I’ve been running my benchmarks for ProgPoW comparing 0.9.2 and 0.9.3 specs hashrate. I’m working on getting a full suite of GPU tests for the community. I hoping to get this released sometime this month, but like my last article I want to make sure it’s very through. So it can benefit the Ethereum Developers with good information and the general mining community.

What’s going on?

Seeing some confusion with AMD GPUs hashrates from 1stminingrig and other miners trying to figure out ProgPoW, I hope I can clear up some confusion. Just like Eth-hash, AMD GPUs require some special tuning, if you will, for ProgPoW. BIOs modifications are considered a negative. In addition core clocks matter more than ever. In this article I want to bring attention just a few things others may have missed, but are important, when testing ProgPoW.

The Test Bench

1095T 6-core AMD Phenom II

12GB DDR3 RAM

ASUS CROSSHAIR IV FORMULA

160GB RAPTORS in raid 0

EVGA 450w Bronze

XFX RX 480 8GB GTR

AMD 18.6.1 Drivers

COMPUTE_MODE=ON

First and foremost just like Ethhash. Compute mode matters for AMD GPUs. This is an absolute must. When testing, forgetting about turning it on costs you approx 3mh/s in ProgPoW as you can see in the pictures below.

RX480 compute-mode Off

RX480 compute-mode ON

Varying Core speeds

Core speed matters in ProgPoW. When it comes to consistent benchmarking I’m seeing people put up results that don’t match up to mine. It’s not their fault however. I’ve pointed this out to IfDefElse and Andrea Lanfranchi. When launching the ProgPoW ethminer core speeds will drop on AMD GPUs(Nvidia’s too). As you see in my results it drops by about 70-50mhz. That 50mhz results in a loss of hashrate, even while the clocks are set to this particular XFX 480’s OC of 1338 core.

Stock 1266mhz RX480

XFX RX480 OC 1338

Actual XFX RX480 1338mhz results

The only way I resolved this issue is to use MSI Afterburner and -100mv on the core. Alternatively, you can use OverdriveNtool and set core to 1000mv achieving a set core speed. Why this happens I’m unsure. My best guess is that it’s something in AMD’s driver or P-states that forces lower core speeds.

Choosing the right block height

For testing ProgPoW I highly recommend you test real block heights. This gives us actual blocks heights being solved and will be indicative of Ethereum. Hashrates very on the period. Every 50 blocks for 0.9.2 or every 10 blocks 0.9.3. This is due to the fact that every period generates a completely new hashing kernel. For all my testing I used blocksize 7169430, Epoch 240.

The block height I used for all my benchmarks

Random block height is chosen

Current Ethereum Block height, Epoch 243

As you can see, just putting in varying block heights, even two real Ethereum block hieghts, Hashrates can vary. If your a miner testing ProgPoW or wondering how GPUs perform please keep this mind.

Thanks all!

In ASEAN, energy from biomass represented about 12.41% of total renewable energy consumption in 2011. However, energy production from biomass still has a significant potential since a large portion of the biomass is still underutilized. Moreover, increasing potential of energy crops and the development of plant yield improvement technology will extend the bioenergy potential even more. Therefore, biomass is considered as a promising alternative energy source in future strategic energy planning both national and regional context

Ethereum Network Is Overloaded

Ethereum Network Is Overloaded

Users of cryptocurrency exchanges and DeFi applications began to transfer assets on the Ethereum network at once and overloaded it against the background of today’s market crash.

“ETH network congestion. Average time for confirmations 2680 seconds (44 minutes),” pays attention Binance CEO, Changpen Zhao.

Obviously, a significant part of these transactions was related to the USDT stablecoin transfers. To date, Tether has transferred about 2.9 billion of its tokens to the network of the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The portal ETH Gas Station calls Tether the main consumer of gas.

The ETH rate today decreased by more than 30% and at the time of publication is $139.

TradingView

This entailed the liquidation of many positions on pledges and derivatives in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. The situation was aggravated by the aforementioned network congestion, because of which such positions could not always be liquidated in a timely manner, creating additional counterparty risks.

MakerDAO users, for example, were encouraged to review the provision. Some of them replied that they could not do this since the network did not respond to their commands.

The panicked ETH holders, meanwhile, were in a hurry to transfer their assets to exchanges.

The next post in our series on the advantages of the 1inch Network is focused on how users can save on gas.

The 1inch Aggregation Protocol was specifically developed to help retail users exchange tokens at the best rates, including saving on gas fees.

Currently, the Ethereum network remains the most popular option for DeFi transactions. But, due to its substantial fees, swapping a small to medium-size amount of tokens can be quite expensive. This becomes even worse when high slippage rates on low liquidity pools are considered for high-volume traders.

Due to the 1inch Aggregation Protocol and the aggregation service Pathfinder, deals are split across multiple DEX pools, ensuring users will be able to find the best swap rates.

In addition, 1inch users can save on gas thanks to the Chi gas token and recent improvements in the 3rd version of the 1inch Aggregation Protocol.

The Chi gas token is an ERC20-standard token that is meant to be used in the 1inch dApp to pay transaction costs. The idea is similar to the gas token concept but it has some improvements.

Chi is pegged to the Ethereum network’s gas price. When the gas price is low, the Chi price is also low, and the opposite. Just like a gas token, Chi is tokenized gas on the Ethereum network. The only difference is that Chi is used on 1inch and Curve, while gas token is used across the entire Ethereum network.

Chi is minted when the gas price is low and burnt when it is high, enabling 1inch users to save up to 40% on gas fees. To learn more about Chi, see this post.

More gas saving opportunities arrived with the activation of the 1inch Aggregation Protocol v3 earlier this year.

Thanks to code optimization, reduced gas fees apply to swaps made using Uniswap V2 and its forks, such as SushiSwap, Lua Swap, etc. For example, an ETH -> USDC -> DAI swap using the 1inch Aggregation Protocol is 10% cheaper than the same swap using UniSwap and 3.5% cheaper than that using 0x.

We’ll be back soon with more on the 1inch Network’s advantages for users!
Details released regarding the Relex Loyalty Token program
By: Relex News
Tags: Ethereum Blockchain, Ethereum, Blockchain, Loyalty Program, Cryptocurrency

Individuals were offered the ability to swap 100,000 RLX tokens for an RLXR1 token this past week, with each token representing a step in a loyalty program devised by Relex.

No additional information was initially released regarding the loyalty program except the following:

1. 100,000 RLX could be traded for 1 RLXR1 token via the Relex Capital investment portal.

2. The loyalty token RLXR1 promised no benefits whatsoever.

3. The RLXR1 token would be locked up for 13 months, and then 100,000 RLX would be returned to the original owner.

4. The RLXR1 token could be used to invest in projects on the Relex Capital investment portal throughout the lockup period, but doing so would void the ability to trade that token for 100,000 RLX.

5. Only whole denominations of RLXR1 would be accepted. Divisions of tokens would be voided.

6. RLX tokens locked up would remain in the wallet over the duration.

Now that the offering has concluded, we are happy to release the information regarding the RLXR1 Loyalty Program.

1. Individuals who hold RLXR1 receive a status level in the loyalty program equivalent to the whole number of RLXR1 loyalty tokens they hold.

2. Every month, individuals who are members of the RLXR1 Loyalty Program will receive 1,500 RLX over the next 12 months per RLXR1 Loyalty Program rank.

3. At the end of the 13 months, individuals will be able to reclaim their original RLX by redeeming their RLXR1 for 100,000 RLX each. Regardless of reclamation or not, the start of the thirteenth month marks the cessation of the loyalty program.

4. Individuals will have one year to trade their RLXR1 tokens for RLX tokens after the loyalty program ends.

Thank you to those who participated in the RLXR1 Loyalty Program. We will be contacting CoinMarketCap to inform them of the token lockup and to adjust the circulating supply appropriately. Please bear with us as we try to contact their customer service.
Dissecting Arbitraging.co in-depth — you’ve been scammed (again)?
Tags: ICO, Scam, Ethereum Blockchain, Arbitraging, Blockchain

In this massive amount of scamming going on, in July 2018 a specific platform has been drawn to my attention: this platform was called Arbitraging.

This platform is available on https://arbitraging.co but I made several snapshots during 2018 on WaybackMachine in case it will get deleted, changed or whatever.

What is Arbitraging.co?

According to their presentation video, Arbitraging.co is a revolutionary arbitrage trading platform that operates on crypto markets.

For people who are not familiar with, Arbitrage is the simultaneous purchase and sale of an asset to profit from an imbalance in the price, or better, it is a trade that profits by exploiting the price differences of identical or similar financial instruments on different markets or in different forms.

A graphic example of an arbitrage trade.

This concept can be easily transferred also in the cryptocurrencies world since multiple exchanges offered the same cryptocurrencies (or token) at different prices: if you’re able to exploit this price difference you made profits. Simple as that.

So why this platform claim to be revolutionary since arbitrage is a well-known technique?

Because they implemented a piece of software, called aBOT, that can automatically find and trade Arbitrage opportunities where you can make a profit instantly and, according to their whitepaper (archived here) “you will only be paid from the revenue generated by the aBOT and this make Arbitraging a long term sustainable project.”

I think that this is not going to happen and touting these high-returns as the primary benefit of the project is also a bad sign of an unclear business going on.
Eth2 Testnet Staking Validator Node

Learn with the Pyrmont Testnet with Prysm

With so much interest in the newly launched ETH2 validator nodes, it is the perfect time to be asking how you can be a part of the blockchain industry.

Ethereum Rhino

Monday December 1, at roughly 7AM EST the genesis block of the updated Ethereum2 blockchain was validated, with over 20,000 participants worldwide lined up and eager to start validating.

This was however an event that was in the making after a year’s long development to build out new features and development for the network.

You can read about the updates and developments here.

New initiates to TheCryptoStew or blockchain industry may be unaware of the significance of the successful launch and volume of participants. “It is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” — @soscrypted

So how can you be involved with such a grand and technically complex project, and assist with ushering in the beautiful future of a decentralized digital world? There’s an app for that, sort of.

Months ago, our team was busy spinning up a testnet validator node in order to get this process right, and help with the so-called dress rehearsal for the intended launch.

What is a testnet?

The testnet is a blockchain running parallel to the actual Ethereum blockchain. They are often given names with questionable pronunciation like Pyrmont, Medalla, Goerli, Ropsten, and even locally hosted instances.

These testnets allow developers to operate, build, and test applications and smart contracts in a controlled, safe, and free environment without having lasting effects or implications for the operational Ethereum Mainnet.

New Pyrmont Testnet

There are plenty of guides on how to build a test validator node without risking your precious mainnet ETH, or if you have no ETH whatsoever.

With either of the below guides, you will need to have access to an Eth1 node endpoint. Create an account with Infura or Open Ethereum to use an Eth1 node endpoint.

**It is crucial for the decentralization of the network that we do not overly rely on these services.

Eth1 Node Endpoint

Hard Option 1: Running an Eth1 node helps the network, guide found here.

Easy Option 2: Make an Infura account. The free service should be enough for now.

Click the Ethereum symbol on the top left side of the screen, and “create new project”, name the project something cool, and let it fly.

You will now see some endpoints available, we will be using the “https” variant in a moment.

Run the ganache-cli inside the Docker Container
By: Shubham Chadokar
Tags: Docker, Ethereum Blockchain, Ethereum, Metamask, Ganache

Open the Dockerfile in any editor and paste the below code

# node:alpine will be our base image to create this image

FROM node:alpine # Set the /app directory as working directory

WORKDIR /app # Install ganache-cli globally

RUN npm install -g ganache-cli # Set the default command for the image

CMD ["ganache-cli", "-h", "0.0.0.0"]

Let’s take a dip into the code and explore what it is actually doing.

The Docker container requires Node.js installed in it to install the ganache-cli .

The node:alpine is the base image in which the latest Node.js is pre-installed.

What does alpine means?

It is the minimum requirement needed for Node.js. It includes the required libraries. For more information please visit this link.

The base image already has a filesystem for node:alpine

app dev home media opt root sbin sys usr

bin etc lib mnt proc run srv tmp var

The second step WORKDIR /app we are instructing the Dockerfile to use /app folder as the working directory for this image

The third step RUN npm install -g ganache-cli installs the ganache-cli globally.

The last step CMD ["ganache-cli","-h","0.0.0.0"]

When this image run there must be a default command for this or else you have to manually tell what it should do.

ganache-cli -h 0.0.0.0 is the default command for this image. When this image run it will run this default command.

Ganache-cli’s default host is 127.0.0.1 but for docker instance it is 0.0.0.0
