gasReport

gasReport is your chill PyQt6 app running in WSL2/Linux that does one thing well: take your input gas amount + currency ISO code, talk to Etherscan, and show you the gas prices in ETH and your fav currency — safe, average, and fast speeds included. It’s simple, clean, and gets the job done without drama.

---

What You Need Before You Start

• WSL2 (or any Linux, but WSL2 is tested & loved)
• Python 3.8+ (latest version works fine)
• Working SSH link with github
• An Etherscan API key (store it safely, not that I care :-)..)

---

Quick Setup Guide

1. Make sure WSL2 + Python are installed — If you’re here, you probably know this. If not, Google it or ask ChatGPT.

2. Clone this repo:

   git clone https://github.com/hopelessRomant/gasReport
   cd gasReport

3. Copy .env.example to .env and put your ETHERSCAN_API_KEY inside:

   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env and add your key

4. Run the installer — it sets up everything for you:

   bash install.sh

5. Restart the terminal or run source ~/.bashrc , now you can run the app from any directory at any time by just typing in:

   gasReport

   Boom! The app (MAY) launch, ask chat GPT if an error pops up :-)...

How It Works

• You feed it the total gas amount (from wherever you want — foundry test, another tool, you do you).
• Enter your preferred currency’s ISO code (like USD, INR, EUR, whatever).
• gasReport hits Etherscan API, grabs the latest gas prices in ETH.
• Converts that ETH gas price to your currency using coingecko.
• Shows you Safe, Average, and Fast gas price options.

No rocket science, just quick conversions.

Troubleshooting / Help

If something breaks or looks funky — try turning it off and on again. Still stuck? Hit up ChatGPT or your favorite AI assistant for a quick fix. Seriously, that’s the best support you’re gonna get.

---

Heads Up

• Keep your ETHERSCAN_API_KEY private. Don’t leak it or share it like free candy.
• This app is still in chill mode — no wild error handling or fancy alerts. If it crashes, blame the internet or your input.
• Future plans? Maybe a Windows executable so you don’t have to bother with WSL2 — stay tuned.

That’s it. Fast, easy, and actually useful.
