This blog post contains steps on how to interact with a specific contract on the blockchain extending the application created in the previous blog post [1]. Step 1: Add  frozeman:template-var This is used since we use callback very often. This wrapper can be found at [2]. Give the following command in order to add it to our application. meteor add frozeman:template-var Step 2: Adding the balance to be viewed inside the template Alter your code as below. main.js main.html When you refresh the browser, you should get the below output without having to click the button. Step 3: Writing the Smart Contract in Solidity Solidity is the language that ethereum uses to write smart contracts. In order to write the smart contract for our application we will use the online Solidity compiler which can be found at [3]. Step 4: Deploying the Smart Contract Log in to the MetaMask and make sure you are on the testnet. Select 'Create' in the right side p...

This blog posts contains the step to be followed when creating a simple dApp (Decentralized Application) using Ethereum and Meteor.  This application will not use the actual ethereum blockchain. Instead it will connect to the Testnet. This application is developed for Demo purposes. Hence, Meta mask extention will be used. If you need to connect to the main network, geth client or any other client for Ethereum should be used. Step 1: Create a meteor project In order to create a new meteor application, run the following command inside the directory you want the app to be created in. meteor create <app_name> The application will be created as follows. Step 2: Add Web3 to the project Web3 library is what allows you to interact with the ethereum blockchain. Web3 library can be found at [1]. Inside the meteor application just created run the following command to add Web3. meteor add ethereum:web3 Step 3: Download and install Metamask extension for C...
