The purpose of the swapout is to secure the holdings of existing holders of Carboncoin in a decentralised, secure way ahead of deploying the new network after the forthcoming ICO.
The contract creates a new token on the Ethereum blockchain that will be swapped for existing Carboncoin.
These contracts for the Carboncoin Ethereum Swapout make use of Truffle and Open Zeppelin.
Install Ethereum TestRPC and Truffle:
npm install -g ethereumjs-testrpc
npm install -g truffle
Clone this repository and npm install. This will install Open Zeppelin.
Run the Ethereum testrpc in a terminal window:
testrpc
In a separate window, compile the project and run the migrations, deploying the contract to testrpc:
truffle compile
truffle migrate
### Deploying to Rinkeby test network
First things first you need a Rinkeby account with some Rinkeby ether in it. The official Ethereum Wallet is a good place to start.
You can get Rinkeby ether from the Rinkeby faucet.
We need to tell Rinkeby and Truffle the address of this deploying account. We have therefore introduced a CREATOR_ACCOUNT environment variable that returns the address of the deploying account.
You can set this manually or install direnv (brew install direnv) and update .envrc with the address of your account.
Easiest way to run a Rinkeby node locally is using geth:
brew tap ethereum/ethereum
brew install ethereum
You can then start it as follows:
geth --rinkeby --rpc --unlock="$CREATOR_ACCOUNT"
You will need to type in the password for your deploying account.
Now you can deploy the contract:
truffle compile
truffle migrate --network rinkeby
