Ethereum Scam Database

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

Usage

If you haven't already, click here to download Node.JS

  • Download the latest release from here.
  • Go ahead and open a command line in the release folder
  • Install all necessary packages by running npm install
  • Build and serve the project using node generate.js

Generating should take around 2 minutes the first time or after a clean, but when _site is already present it should only take around 2-5 seconds.

Flags

  • --clean Clean up all the old files and folders
  • --build Build the project without actually serving the content
  • --serve Serve the content in the main folder without building anything
  • --update Update all ip addresses, nameservers and update status [May take some time]
  • --archive Send all active domains to archive.org for caching [Takes a very long time because we don't want to flood their servers]
