Ethereum Scam Database

An open-source database to keep track of all the current ethereum scams

Usage

Make sure you have both Node.JS and Git installed.

Rename config.exmaple.js to config.js and replace the placeholders with your keys.

Then, open a command line anywhere and run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/MrLuit/EtherScamDB.git

npm install

node run.js

The command line should now exit, asking you to update the config.js file with correct values. Please use your own API keys. When you're done, launch run.js again:

node run.js

Generating should take a couple of minutes the first time or after a clean, but when cache.json is already present it should launch instantly.

Flags

• --clean Clean up all the old files and folders
• --update Manually update all content
