How do I print my account balances and TheDAO tokens from geth

Question

Is there a convenient script to print out my account balances and TheDAO tokens from the go-ethereum client geth?

Answer 1

getAllBalances For Ethers Only

The following shell script works in the Linux and Mac environments where you are already running a geth instance that synch with the Ethereum blockchain.

This Unix shell script uses the checkAllBalances() script from Ethereum Frontier Guide - Listing accounts and checking balances.

You can customise the geth attach command to connect via IPC or RPC (eg: geth attach rpc:http://192.168.1.52:8545).

Create the file $HOME/bin/getAllBalances with the following content:

#!/bin/sh

geth attach << EOF

function checkAllBalances() { 
  var i =0; 
  var total = 0.0;
  eth.accounts.forEach( function(e){
    total += parseFloat(eth.getBalance(e));
    console.log("  eth.accounts["+i+"]: " +  e + " \tbalance: " +
      web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(e), "ether") + " ether"); 
    i++; 
  })
  console.log("total: " + web3.fromWei(total), "ether");
}; 

checkAllBalances()

exit;

EOF

Set the executable bit for this file using the command:

chmod 700 $HOME/bin/getAllBalances

Run the script using the command getAllBalances or $HOME/bin/getAllBalances to produce the following type of output:

user@Kumquat:~$ getAllBalances 
instance: Geth/v1.3.6/linux/go1.5.1
 datadir: /home/user/.ethereum

getAllBalances Including TheDAO Tokens

Here's a version of getAllBalances that also displays TheDAO tokens.

The following shell script works in the Linux and Mac environments where you are already running a geth instance that synch with the Ethereum blockchain.

This Unix shell script is based on the checkAllBalances() script from Ethereum Frontier Guide - Listing accounts and checking balances.

The JavaScript for checkAllBalances() is also available at Common useful JavaScript snippets for geth.

You can customise the geth attach command to connect via IPC or RPC (eg: geth attach rpc:http://192.168.1.52:8545).

Create the file $HOME/bin/getAllBalances with the following content:

#!/bin/sh

geth attach << EOF

function padTokens(s, n) {
  var o = s.toPrecision(n);
  while (o.length < n) {
    o = " " + o;
  }
  return o;
}

function padEthers(s) {
  var o = s.toFixed(18);
  while (o.length < 27) {
    o = " " + o;
  }
  return o;
}

function checkAllBalances() { 
  var theDAOABI = [ { "type": "function", "outputs": [ { "type": "uint256", "name": "", "value": "5e+22" } ], "name": "minTokensToCreate", "inputs": [], "constant": true }, { "type": "function", "outputs": [ { "type": "uint256", "name": "", "value": "2.668900014413644230605979e+24" } ], "name": "totalSupply", "inputs": [], "constant": true }, { "type": "function", "outputs": [ { "type": "uint256", "name": "", "value": "1464426000" } ], "name": "closingTime", "inputs": [], "constant": true }, { "type": "function", "outputs": [], "name": "refund", "inputs": [], "constant": false }, { "type": "function", "outputs": [ { "type": "address", "name": "", "value": "0xda4a4626d3e16e094de3225a751aab7128e96526" } ], "name": "curator", "inputs": [], "constant": true }, { "type": "function", "outputs": [ { "type": "uint256", "name": "balance", "value": "0" } ], "name": "balanceOf", "inputs": [ { "type": "address", "name": "_owner" } ], "constant": true }, { "type": "function", "outputs": [ { "type": "uint256", "name": "_numberOfProposals", "value": "0" } ], "name": "numberOfProposals", "inputs": [], "constant": true }, { "type": "function", "outputs": [ { "type": "address", "name": "", "value": "0x807640a13483f8ac783c557fcdf27be11ea4ac7a" } ], "name": "extraBalance", "inputs": [], "constant": true }, { "type": "function", "outputs": [ { "type": "bool", "name": "", "value": true } ], "name": "isFueled", "inputs": [], "constant": true }, { "type": "function", "outputs": [ { "type": "bool", "name": "success" } ], "name": "createTokenProxy", "inputs": [ { "type": "address", "name": "_tokenHolder" } ], "constant": false }, { "type": "function", "outputs": [ { "type": "uint256", "name": "_voteID" } ], "name": "vote", "inputs": [ { "type": "uint256", "name": "_proposalID" }, { "type": "bool", "name": "_supportsProposal" } ], "constant": false }, { "type": "event", "name": "FuelingToDate", "inputs": [ { "type": "uint256", "name": "value", "indexed": false } ], "anonymous": false }, { "type": "event", "name": "ProposalAdded", "inputs": [ { "type": "uint256", "name": "proposalID", "indexed": true }, { "type": "address", "name": "recipient", "indexed": false }, { "type": "uint256", "name": "amount", "indexed": false }, { "type": "bool", "name": "newCurator", "indexed": false }, { "type": "string", "name": "description", "indexed": false } ], "anonymous": false }, { "type": "event", "name": "ProposalTallied", "inputs": [ { "type": "uint256", "name": "proposalID", "indexed": true }, { "type": "bool", "name": "result", "indexed": false }, { "type": "uint256", "name": "quorum", "indexed": false } ], "anonymous": false } ];
  var theDAOAddress = "0xBB9bc244D798123fDe783fCc1C72d3Bb8C189413";
  var theDAO = eth.contract(theDAOABI).at(theDAOAddress);
  var theDAOTotal = 0; 
  var ethersTotal = 0; 

  console.log("  #     Account                                        TheDAO                      ethers");
  console.log("------- ------------------------------------------ ---------- ---------------------------");
  var i =0; 
  eth.accounts.forEach( function(e){
    var tokens = theDAO.balanceOf(e) / parseFloat(1e16);
    theDAOTotal += parseFloat(tokens);
    var ethers = web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(e), "ether");
    ethersTotal += parseFloat(ethers);
    console.log("  " + i + "\t" + e + " " + padTokens(tokens, 10) + " " + padEthers(ethers)); 
    i++; 
  })
  console.log("------- ------------------------------------------ ---------- ---------------------------");
  console.log("  " + i + "                                               " + padTokens(theDAOTotal, 10) + " " + padEthers(ethersTotal));
