Enervator

	A cryptocurrency stablecoin, with the token symbol EOR, whose aim is to incentivise energy efficiency.

You can read some of the details as to how Enervator incentivises energy efficiency by reading The Value of Enervator.

You can also read a Technical Overview.

*Enervator is described in more detail in Steve Huckle's PhD Thesis. Some of the information here borrows excerpts from that work.

**The name Enervator is a reference to the token's relation to energy. The word 'enervator' is a noun meaning 'something that enervates', where 'enervates' is a verb, meaning to weaken. So in this context, the token aims to decrease energy consumption.

Usage

Below shows you how to use the demo' applications that showcase EOR, which is deployed at address 0x5483b2996BBa07330E188Fe10BB101d4c1Ac8530 on Ethereum's Rinkeby Test Network.

Demo Applications

There are two demo' applications for showcasing Enervator. However, to run them, you must install the dependencies:

1. Eneradmin
2. Enerchanger

Eneradmin is a tool for administering Enervator. You do not have permissions to set any parameters with Eneradmin, but you will be able to read both the token's parameters and any exchange rates that have been specified.

Enerchanger is a proof of concept that simulates depositing cash and buying EOR, the Enervator token. To use the tool, first deposit some cash (imagine that's a PayPal link or some such like), then use that deposit to buy some EOR.

Demo Dependencies

To use Eneradmin and Enerchanger, you will need to be running Firefox with the Dat P2P Protocol and MetaMask extensions installed. MetaMask should be pointing at the Rinkeby Test Network, and you will need a few test Ether in your MetaMask wallet - you can get those from the Rinkeby Faucet.

For MetaMask to see any Enervator tokens you buy, you will need to add the token contract address to your MetaMask account. To do so, within MetaMask, go to your account's menu, click on Add Token, then specify the custom address 0x5483b2996bba07330e188fe10bb101d4c1ac8530 - if you've done that correctly, MetaMask will automagically find the token's symbol and precision.
