How do I go from truffle testrpc to mainnet?

Question

I've been teaching myself ethereum via the stack solidity/truffle/truffle-contract/testrpc/metamask. I built a small dApp that runs on testrpc with proper unit tests which work great. I've written a function that I truffle serve that loads my contract named VEX from the local the file f_deployed_contract

$.getJSON(f_deployed_contract, function(data) {
    App.contracts.VEX = TruffleContract(data);
    App.contracts.VEX.setProvider(App.web3Provider);
});

Everything works! I was excited, so I deployed the contract of the working solidity code using a combination of Remix and Ether Wallet to the mainnet. It was mined and now lives here:

Now, how do I adjust my TruffleContract so I can use my dApp with metamask on the mainnet?

Answer 1

Using TruffleContract, you can just specify the address of your contract when trying to interact with it. From the documenation:

var MetaCoin = require("./path/to/MetaCoin.sol.js");
MetaCoin.at(contract_address).then(function(instance) {
   //do promise things
} 

So, Instead of using Metacoin.deployed() , which you're probably using, , you could use .at(address).

Also, your contract lives at 0x4f5a4501f96cb95eeda376f4caa0b24f4dbbd796, not 0xe5e6c5d463815e339a2aac2e92594de595e2029e6448997799871d8cb2a5728b. The second one is the transaction which created your contract, the first one is the address of your contract.
