GethDesk

GethDesk — is an open source application to simplify work with “Ethereum Geth Go” console client and to show you data about your node current condition without using console commands.

Install this app as chrome extension or go directly to GethDesk url.

Core functionalities

Dashboard

• Blockchain current synchronization progress.
• Enabled and Disabled "APIS".
• To which network your node connected. (Main or Testnet and name of the network.);
• "Open" or "Not" your node to network connections.
• Number of peers connected to your node. (Default maximum is 25, if not specified else.);
• Current Ethereum protocol version.
• Node mining status "Yes" or "Not", if yes than you get the hashrate speed.
• Current price per gas in ether. (Other units available also).
• Mining default reward address. (You can change it).

Accounts Manager

• Number of accounts your node owns.
• Accounts addresses with current balance in ether.
• Create new password protected accounts.
• Import private keys and encrypt them with password.

You can send a payment request to any email address or print it as pdf.

Mining

• Start CPU mining with the required number of cores.

Keep in mind. Important!

1. On Main network mining won't start until your blockchain is fully synchronized! Mining will be scheduled to start automatically when blockchain fully synchronized.

2. On Test network mining can start without blockchain being fully synchronized, it will start and stop during blockchain synchronization.

• Mining hashrate speed.
• Visualized mining chart.
• Choose a default mining reward address.

Node Info

• Your running node all information [Default Database Directory, Node name, Node Id, Node Ip, Listen Addr, Enode.]

• Detailed information about each peer connected to your node including: [Node name, Enode, Id, LocalAddress, RemoteAddress, Caps, Network Static, Network Trusted, Inbound, Difficulty, Head, Version.]

World map of connected peers.

How to use GethDesk

To connect to Geth Go through GethDesk you need to run Geth Go with the following parameters:

geth -rpc -rpcaddr 0.0.0.0 -rpccorsdomain '*' -rpcapi admin,personal,net,web3,miner,eth

You can customize Geth Go running options as you want, but make sure that You run Geth Go application with required apis enabled: -rpcapi admin,personal,net,web3,miner,eth to get GethDesk working correctly as it depends on them to gather information.

If you forget to put -rpcapi admin,personal,net,web3,miner,eth while running Geth Go it will run with default apis therefore GethDesk wont't work correctly.
