PyBlock v0.5.0

Dashboard Bitcoin information program

A simple Python Block Clock to check the Blockchain information.

• This will fully work on a node that has Bitcoin Core and LND installed
• We fully tested and worked perfect on MyNodeBTC

First Start

• You will need to find the path of the files tls.cert and admin.macaroon to do the REST connection to have access to LND.

  From local node

  Open the Terminal

  • Type these commands:
  • a@A:~> git clone https://github.com/curly60e/pyblock.git
  • a@A:~> cd pyblock
  • a@A:~> pip3 install -r requirements.txt
  • a@A:~> python3 PyBlock.py
  
  
  • This is how we continue.
  
  
  
  • It will ask you for the IP:PORT (REST PORT) in this case use: localhost instead of the IP.
  
  
  
  • Then it will ask you for the path to the tls.cert.
  
  
  
  • Then it will ask you for the path to the admin.macaroon.
  
  
  
  • Then it will ask you for the path to bitcoin-cli or if you have already installed just put: bitcoin-cli.
  
  
  
  • And you are in.
  
  
  

  From remote computer with Bitcoin Core installed

  • You will need to have tls.cert and admin.macaroon already downloaded from your LND node.

  • Open the Terminal.

  • Type these commands:

    • a@A:~> git clone https://github.com/curly60e/pyblock.git
    • a@A:~> cd pyblock
    • a@A:~> pip3 install -r requirements.txt
    • a@A:~> python3 PyBlock.py
    
    
    • This is how we continue.
    
    
    
    • It will ask you for the IP:PORT (REST PORT).
    
    
    
    • Then it will ask you for the path to the tls.cert.
    
    
    
    • Then it will ask you for the path to the admin.macaroon.
    
    
    
    • Then it will ask you for the path to bitcoin-cli or if you have already installed just put: bitcoin-cli.
    
    
    
    • And you are in.
