dns-registry-dapp

Git repo for decentralized DNS on top of Ethereum

written by Hitesh Joshi - sendmailtojoshi@gmail.com

Thanks to the good people of Heroku, the app is live at

https://fierce-plains-84557.herokuapp.com/dashboard

The heroku deployment has metamask incompatability and I am too busy to deploy it again. That said the code is fixed and will run nicely in local.

What you can you do with the DNS DAapp

• Reserve a name with as low as 0.1 ether
• Get the name's price
• Bid on a name
• Find the current owner's address
• Withdraw your bid - if you are outbidden
• As a owner accept bids and transfer name ownership
• Send money using names

Tech details

• Project is developed using Angular 4.
• Integrated with HD wallet - metamask for signing transactions to the network
• Metamask is the web3 provider.
• I have used a private geth node running at http://localhost:8545/
• Project uses truffle for compiling deploying contracts and uses promisified truffle api for interaction with contracts
• solidity and js tests are in test folder

Build Steps

1. Clone the project
2. Ensure that you have angular cli installed globally npm install -g @angular/cli
3. Ensure that you have ganache cli installed globally (for development)
4. Start Ganache ganache-cli --deterministic
5. npm install
6. Compile Contracts truffle compile
7. Deploy contracts

truffle migrate --network development

8. Run test suite - optional

truffle test

9.Build it

ng build --prod

10.Run it

ng serve

11. Note - You need to import the ganache accounts to your metamask. Point your metamask to ganache and import using accounts private keys.

• Note of truffle migrate Since this step deploys the contract to the blockchain. If you are using a private or actual Ethereum blockchain, please make sure that the account you have used in truffle.js is unlocked.

Mainnet or TestNet Deployment only ->

I have used my coinbase in truffle.js, so here goes the command.

web3.personal.unlockAccount(eth.coinbase)

Metamask is a dependency for the project

In order to run geth with metamask, please use the flag --rpccorsdomain="chrome-extension://nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn

geth --identity "nodeA" --rpccorsdomain "*" --datadir=".\geth_data" -verbosity 6 --port 54259  --rpc --rpcapi "eth,net,web3" --rpcaddr "127.0.0.1" --rpcport 8545 --fast --networkid 15 --nodiscover --mine --minerthreads 1 --rpccorsdomain="chrome-extension://nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn

You can use Ganache or any test net. Screenshots
