This is a step-by-step guide for adding Geth as a Hot Wallet Buy source.

The following example is based on the presumption that the Geth Ethereum node has been installed, configured, and tested for proper use.

This guide is intended to help you attach a working Geth Ethereum node to a functional CAS.

1. Assemble the required information for CAS:

Parameters are host : port : username : password : cert_fingerprint : wallet_address : gas_limit

Parameter

Description

Examples

host

IP of the Geth Ethereum node.

  • see notes below.

127.0.0.1

port

RPC port of the Geth Ethereum node

  • normally 8545

8545

username

deprecated - no longer required or used.

password

deprecated - no longer required or used.

cert_fingerprint

deprecated - no longer required or used.

wallet_address

this is the wallet implemented & unlocked on the node.

  • do not include quotes (unlike the console syntax).

0x18f54a37626138b78c0ce05ca90e02cd45332cab

gas_limit

optional

Sets the maximum gas amount (gwei) that can be spent on a single transaction.

Understanding “host”:

The “host” is where CAS will steer RPC communications: the target server. The server will vary upon your implementation, and the IP will vary depending upon your actual assigned IP for your node/server.

  • host: is normally 127.0.0.1 when

    • a) using a SSH tunnel, or

    • b) running on the same server as CAS (not recommended).

  • when using the GB Wallet Tunnel, the host is the target Geth Ethereum node,

    • e.g. “123.123.123.123”

    • The GB Wallet Tunnel will attempt to connect to your Geth Ethereum node at that IP.

In this example, using the above, our "Parameters" looks like this (all one line):

127.0.0.1:8545::::0x18f54a37626138b78c0ce05ca90e02cd45332cab

  • no spaces or special characters permitted (the tests will fail).

2. Select Geth & enter the Parameters:

  • copy & paste to avoid typing errors.

3. (optional) enable the GB Wallet Tunnel:

  • Enter the Wallet Tunnel Password provided during tunnel installation.

  • More information: Install the GB Wallet Tunnel Server

  • Do not enable the Tunnel if the GB Wallet Tunnel isn’t implemented!

4. Save the Crypto Setting!

5. Finally, test it out.

Test your settings before deploying them.

  1. Save your setting first,

  2. return to the same Crypto Setting,

  3. run the test(s).

See: https://generalbytes.atlassian.net/l/cp/9Zdit1KP

Select Test Hot Wallet Buy from the RUN BTC SETTINGS TEST.

Presuming everything was entered correctly, you should receive confirmation of success!

You're done!
