A script that tracks incoming transactions from an rpc daemon using geth and javascript (and some jquery, no web3)
enviroment setup :
I spinned up a digital ocean droplet for faster syncing etc.
install geth in the droplet
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ethereum
sudo apt install geth
geth was failing to sync properly with 512 ram, added a 2G and set swapiness to 30.
Sync geth on the rinkeby network :
geth --rinkeby --rpc --rpccorsdomain "*"
5 hours later....
A full node is up on the rinkeby network...
On your local machine create tunnel on port 9001
ssh -L 9001:127.0.0.1:8545 root@165.227.167.176 (thats my ip obviously and I am using a key for security)
Then you can attach to the remote geth :
geth attach http://localhost:9001
You can check if it is synced or not yet :
eth.syncing
and all the other api commands...
When synced, you can use index.html.
You can just run it locally, provided you have started geth with --rpccorsdomain
You can connect metamask, create accounts and get some ether from the faucet and try sending receiving some eth on the rinkeby network
You can have as many addresses as you want there, and as many confirmations as you want
