Run gitbash from command prompt

(1) change directory

cd D:/blockchain

(2) To create the private blockchain network using genesis block

$ geth --datadir ./chaindata init genesis.json

Two folders will be created i) Chaindata

ii) keystore

Whatever we do will be stored in chaindata folder.

(3) To check if private network is working using geth command

$ geth --datadir ./chaindata

It should show
IPC (Interprocess Communication) End point to establish the communication.

Explain the displayed txt

Ctrl C and come out of this one

(4) To create new account

geth --datadir ./datadir account new

will ask for passphrase:

Remember your passphrase
Run twice for two users two accounts
1st account passphrase: 123456
Address:
{5132d160f9d1d25a881e751b5c4a4302fd34791f}
2nd account passphrase: 12345678
Address:
{6f9240e600bfc9b43211447e64a8f5966a538d84}

These are two accounts

copy these two addresses from datadir/keystore and paste to the /chaindata/keystore

we don't need datadir

now we are ready to do the transactions.
