Eth Tweet

Eth Tweet is an Ethereum-based microblogging application for publishing messages of up to 160 characters. Accounts can receive Ether donations, and a published message can be removed only by its publisher. The documented interface supports browser reading with geth running, while posting uses geth’s command line.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Eth Tweet when the goal is short-form publishing on Ethereum and the geth-based workflow suits you. Its documented browser interface is for reading; posting is handled through geth’s command line.

Who it is for

  • Readers who want to browse Ethereum-based short posts using the documented geth and browser setup.
  • Authors seeking to publish short messages with publisher-controlled removal and Ether donations.
  • Developers interested in a Go, GPL-3.0 licensed Ethereum microblogging project and its Mix IDE project.

Documented uses

  • Browse existing accounts and their tweets in a web browser.
  • Read latest, specific, or total tweet information through geth’s interactive interface.
  • Publish short messages using the documented command-line workflow.
  • Allow an account to receive Ether donations.
  • Edit the source project and use Mix’s local blockchain simulation for development testing.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The README says account creation, name registration and tweeting require Ether in a local geth account. Reading instructions require geth to be installed and running. The repository is public and identifies a GPL-3.0 license.

  • Browser reading and command-line posting are separate workflows; the README says browser posting is not supported.
  • Following accounts is intentionally unsupported to avoid exposing the social graph.
  • Published messages can be removed only by their publisher, according to the project description.
  • The README requires Ether for account creation, registration and tweeting; its quoted historical cost examples are dated and are not current pricing.
  • The repository identifies Go as the primary language and GPL-3.0 as the license; Mix is the documented source-editing and local simulation tool.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Read account posts in a browser

Open the documented browser interface to browse accounts and their tweets.

Before you start

  • geth installed and running with the documented RPC and CORS options
  • A web browser

Steps

  1. Start geth with geth --rpc --rpccorsdomain="http://ethertweet.net".

  2. Open http://ethertweet.net/ui in a browser.

  3. Browse the displayed account menu and corresponding tweets.

Expected outcome

The interface displays existing accounts and their tweets for browsing.

Guide limitations

  • This guide covers reading only; the README says posting is not supported in the browser.
  • The documented interface uses the ethertweet.net address.

Read a tweet account through geth

Query an existing tweet account from geth’s interactive command line.

Before you start

  • geth installed and running
  • A known tweet-account address

Steps

  1. Start geth with geth --rpc --rpccorsdomain="http://ethertweet.net".

  2. In a second shell, run geth attach to open the interactive geth interface.

  3. Use the README’s contract setup example, replacing its example address with the address of the account to read.

  4. Call TweetAccount.getLatestTweet() for the latest post, or TweetAccount.getTweet(0) for the first post.

Expected outcome

The documented calls return tweet text and timestamp; the latest-tweet call also returns the total tweet count.

Guide limitations

  • The example uses an existing account address and requires adapting it for another account.
  • The documented procedure is for reading; it does not cover posting.
