Running BakinBacon

BakinBacon defaults to Hangzhounet, the current Tezos testing network. Use -network mainnet to switch.

Download the latest binary for your OS from bakinbacon/releases
Open a terminal, shell, cmd, powershell, etc and execute the binary for your operating system:

Example: ./bakinbacon-linux-amd64 [-debug] [-trace] [-webuiaddr 127.0.0.1] [-webuiport 8082] [-network mainnet|granadanet|hangzhounet]
Open http://127.0.0.1:8082/ in your browser

The following binaries are available as part of our release process:

bakinbacon-linux-amd64
bakinbacon-darwin-amd64
bakinbacon-windows-amd64.exe

If you would like bakinbacon compiled for a different platform, you can build it yourself below, or open an issue and we might be able to add it to our build prcocess.

Testing Tokens

The Tezos network requires 8000 XTZ at stake in order to be considered a baker. Please use the hangzhou faucet to acquire testing tokens. These tokens are only valid on the Hangzhou testing network and will not work on mainnet.

Building BakinBacon

If you want to contribute to BakinBacon with pull-requests, you'll need a proper environment set up to build and test BakinBacon.

Dependencies

go-1.16+
nodejs-14.15 (npm 6.14)
gcc-7.5+, make (build-essential package on Ubuntu)
libhidapi-libusb0, libusb, libusb-dev (For compiling ledger nano support)

Ledger Usage

If you want to use a Ledger device with BakinBacon, you will need to download and install Ledger Live, and install BOTH Tezos Wallet and Tezos Baker apps to your device. We DO NOT recommend any version higher than 2.2.9 as they are buggy and prone to device freeze.

If using a ledger on linux, you'll need to add the udev rules.

Build Steps

Clone the repo
make ui-dev && make ui (Build the webserver UI, downloading any required npm modules)
make [darwin|windows] (You can only build darwin on darwin; You can build linux and windows on linux)
Run as noted above
