Dubbed a 'one-click installer', it provides a clean UI automating the setup and management of all the infrastructure necessary to stake without the user needing to have any technical knowledge.

Disclaimer

Stakehouse:

only runs on Ubuntu (see below for more system requirements)
is currently experimental - use at your own risk
only runs on pyrmont (right now)
does not currently do anything with real ETH or mainnet (DO NOT USE REAL ETH)

Usage

There are no releases yet. Please see Development section.

Development

Requirements

Ubuntu 20.04
16GB RAM
SSD with 200GB free
root access

Setup

Stakehouse is a React app running in Electron and currently only runs on Ubuntu (tested on version 20.04). See src/electron/ for the simple electron app and src/react/ for where the magic happens. Feedback and help is much encouraged so please reach out!

yarn install
yarn run build:watch in one terminal - this continually watches and builds your ts code and puts it in ./dist
yarn start in another terminal - this runs your app (the code in ./dist)

If you make changes, save them and they will automatically build. In order to get them to show in the app press ctrl+r or cmd+r
