Etherminty is the base application needed to use the EVM module within Ethermint.
This can be used either as boilerplate to creating a Cosmos-sdk application/module that interacts with the EVM module, or just to identify the necessary changes to a base framework to allow compatibility with an existing application/module.
The changes necessary to make to use the EVM module are indicated with // * comments with explanations to why they are used.
Commands to start the node can vary, but the commands I ran to start the node are:
make install
rm -rf ~/.emty*
emtyd init moniker --chain-id 8
emtycli config chain-id 8
emtycli config output json
emtycli config indent true
emtycli config trust-node true
echo "testpass" | emtycli keys add mykey
echo "testpass" | emtycli keys add mykey2
emtyd add-genesis-account $(emtycli keys show mykey -a) 1000000000000000000photon,1000000000000000000stake
emtyd add-genesis-account $(emtycli keys show mykey2 -a) 1000000000000000000photon,1000000000000000000stake
echo "testpass" | emtyd gentx --name mykey
