This is an open source implementation of the PixelChain decoder written in GoLang. The intention of it is to demostrate how the data is stored 100% on the blockchain and how it can be converted back to an image, in this case a PNG file.
Have GoLang installed and configured in your local environment. More information can be found here https://golang.org/doc/install
Clone the repository and run the following commands
cd PixelChain-GoLang-Decoder
cp config.json.dist config.json
Register in https://infura.io/ and create a project. Copy the MAINNET https endpoint assigned to your project an replace it in your config.json file under the NetworkAddress key.
To run the application without build
go run pixelchain.go 0
To build the application run
go build pixelchain.go
To run the application execute the following in command line
./pixelchain 0
Replace 0 with any other ethID that you wish to retrieve the image. This ID can be found in the OpenSea URL.

The image will be stored in the path defined in the config.json file. By default will be stored under images
