通过创世区块来初始化区块链

首先需要一个初始化区块链的json文件，如下。

{
  "config": {
    "chainId": 15,
    "homesteadBlock": 0,
    "eip155Block": 0,
    "eip158Block": 0
  },
  "difficulty": "4",
  "gasLimit": "2100000",
  "alloc": {
    "7df9a875a174b3bc565e6424a0050ebc1b2d1d82": {
      "balance": "300000"
    },
    "f41c74c9ae680c1aa78f42e5647a62f353b7bdde": {
      "balance": "400000"
    }
  }
}

config, difficulty, gasLimit, alloc创始区块文件中，这几个文件是必须的。

初始化区块链，并且创建一个文件夹来存储区块数据

geth init genesis.json --datadir private_data

打开终端

geth --networkid 888 --datadir private_data  console

警告

WARN [10-15	07:53:09] No etherbase set and no accounts found as default

查看余额

> eth.getBalance("7df9a875a174b3bc565e6424a0050ebc1b2d1d82")
300000
> 

开始 mining

> miner.start()

如果你直接挖矿，会出现上面的错误。需要设置一个挖矿的账号。

> miner.setEtherbase("7df9a875a174b3bc565e6424a0050ebc1b2d1d82")
true
> 

接下来开始挖矿就正常了。
