EthPassport

Intro

This is part of ConsenSys Academy's 2018 Developer Program.

What does the project do?

This project solves the problem of identites by having everyone identity stored on the ethereum blockchain.

Getting started

Setup the local environment

Clone the git repository and change to its directory and initialize npm with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/muhammednagy/EthPassport.git
cd EthPassport && npm init -y

Ensure the following node packages are installed by running the following commands:

• lite-server: npm install lite-server
• truffle: npm install -g truffle
• truffle-hdwallet-provider: npm install truffle-hdwallet-provider - Windows users may need npm install -g windows-build-tools if they are experiencing errors
• openzeppelin-solidity: npm install -E openzeppelin-solidity

If you are testing the contracts locally start your test RPC client on port 8545, then compile, migrate and test the contracts with:

truffle compile
truffle migrate
truffle test

Running the web interface

The front end interface is run with lite-server for local testing purposes. Use the following command from within the EthPassport directory to run:

npm run start

A browser window should pop up automagically after the command is run pointing to http://localhost:3000, otherwise manually type this address in your preferred browser. Metamask is required to send transactions.

Remix deployment

If you'd like to play around with the contract head on over to https://remix.ethereum.org/ and paste the code in, ensure you have 0.1 eth in the value when you register.

We are live on Rinkenby!

Deploy the contract with truffle migrate --network rinkeby after configuring the correct mnenomic and API key within truffle.js if you'd like to deploy the contract yourself on the rinkeby test network. This is not required to play on rinkeby. Currently the EthPassport contract is deployed at 0x5679051C3381ea527a71D454593f784b4A67f8A6
