Ethereum Classic Documentation, Release 0.1 Use this to make sure that your node is not discoverable by people who do not manually add you. Otherwise, there is a chance that your node may be inadvertently added to a stranger’s blockchain if they have the same genesis file and network id. --maxpeers 0 Use maxpeers 0 if you do not want anyone else connecting to your test chain. Alternatively, you can adjust this number if you know exactly how many peers you want connecting to your node. --rpc This will enable RPC interface on your node. This is generally enabled by default in Geth. --rpcapi "db,eth,net,web3" This dictates what APIs that are allowed to be accessed over RPC. By default, Geth enables the web3 interface over RPC. IMPORTANT: Please note that offering an API over the RPC/IPC interface will give everyone access to the API who can access this interface (e.g. dapp’s). Be careful which API’s you enable. By default geth enables all API’s over the IPC interface and only the db,eth,net and web3 API’s over the RPC interface. --rpcport "8080" Change 8000 to any port that is open on your network. The default for geth is 8080. --rpccorsdomain "http://chriseth.github.io/browser-solidity/" This dictates what URLs can connect to your node in order to perform RPC client tasks. Be very careful with this and type a specific URL rather than the wildcard (*) which would allow any URL to connect to your RPC instance. --datadir "/home/TestChain1" This is the data directory that your private chain data will be stored in (under the nubits . Choose a location that is separate from your public Ethereum chain folder. --port "30303" This is the “network listening port”, which you will use to connect with other peers manually. --identity "TestnetMainNode" This will set up an identity for your node so it can be identified more easily in a list of peers. Here is an example of how these identities show up on the network. Launching geth After you have created your custom genesis block JSON file and created a directory for your blockchain data, type the following command into your console that has access to geth: geth --identity "MyNodeName" --genesis /path/to/CustomGenesis.json --rpc --rpcport "8080" --rpccor Note: Please change the flags to match your custom settings. You will need to start your geth instance with your custom chain command every time you want to access your custom chain. If you just type “geth” in your console, it will not remember all of the flags you have set. Pre-allocating ether to your account A difficulty of “0x400” allows you to mine Ether very quickly on your private testnet chain. If you create your chain and start mining, you should have hundreds of Ether in a matter of minutes which is way more than enough to test transactions on your network. If you would still like to pre-allocate Ether to your account, you will need to: 1.5. The Ethereum network 63
Ethereum Classic Documentation, Release 0.1 1. Create a new Ethereum account after you create your private chain 2. Copy your new account address 3. Add the following command to your Custom_Genesis.json file: "alloc": { "": { "balance": "20000000000000000000" } } Note: Replace 0x1fb891f92eb557f4d688463d0d7c560552263b5a with your account address. Save your genesis file and rerun your private chain command. Once geth is fully loaded, close it by . We want to assign an address to the variable primary and check its balance. Run the command geth account list in your terminal to see what account # your new address was assigned. > geth account list Account #0: {d1ade25ccd3d550a7eb532ac759cac7be09c2719} Account #1: {da65665fc30803cb1fb7e6d86691e20b1826dee0} Account #2: {e470b1a7d2c9c5c6f03bbaa8fa20db6d404a0c32} Account #3: {f4dd5c3794f1fd0cdc0327a83aa472609c806e99} Take note of which account # is the one that you pre-allocated Ether to. Alternatively, you can launch the console with geth console (keep the same parameters as when you launched geth first). Once the prompt appears, type > eth.accounts This will return the array of account addresses you possess. > primary = eth.accounts[0] Note: Replace 0 with your account’s index. This console command should return your primary Ethereum address. Type the following command: > balance = web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(primary), "ether"); This should return 7.5 indicating you have that much Ether in your account. The reason we had to put such a large number in the alloc section of your genesis file is because the “balance” field takes a number in wei which is the smallest denomination of the Ethereum currency Ether (see Ether). • https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/3kdnus/question_about_private_chain_mining_dont_upvote/ • http://adeduke.com/2015/08/how-to-create-a-private-ethereum-chain/ 1.6 Mining 1.6.1 Introduction The word mining originates in the context of the gold analogy for crypto currencies. Gold or precious metals are scarce, so are digital tokens, and the only way to increase the total volume is through mining. This is appropriate to the extent that in Ethereum too, the only mode of issuance post launch is via mining. Unlike these examples 64 Chapter 1. Contents
