Blockchain Watcher

Creates a websocket server that reads and reports on the activity of the ZCash blockchain. Communicates with a node over RPC.

Development

First time setup (Only do once)

  1. Run yarn to fetch all dependencies
  2. Copy .env.example to .env
  3. Run a zcashd regtest node with the following command
zcashd -daemon -datadir=./.zcash -wallet=offline.dat
  1. Mine at least 100 blocks with zcash-cli generate 101 to activate Overwinter and Sapling
  2. Run yarn genkey and copy the environment variables into .env
  3. Run yarn genaddress and copy the environment variables into .env

After all that...

  1. Run zcashd (without the offline wallet)
zcashd -daemon -datadir=./.zcash
  1. Run the websocket server with
yarn dev

See the Wiki page for more information on running a regtest node.

Deployment

TBD
