Question

can one please advise how to include transactions in the genesis block of private ethereum network ?

can it be done via genesis.json similarly to contract using code: parameter ?

Answer 1

base on the current source code of ethereum, you cannot include tnx in the genesis block

type Genesis struct {
    Config     *params.ChainConfig `json:"config"`
    Nonce      uint64              `json:"nonce"`
    Timestamp  uint64              `json:"timestamp"`
    ExtraData  []byte              `json:"extraData"`
    GasLimit   uint64              `json:"gasLimit"   gencodec:"required"`
    Difficulty *big.Int            `json:"difficulty" gencodec:"required"`
    Mixhash    common.Hash         `json:"mixHash"`
    Coinbase   common.Address      `json:"coinbase"`
    Alloc      GenesisAlloc        `json:"alloc"      gencodec:"required"`

    // These fields are used for consensus tests. Please don't use them
    // in actual genesis blocks.
    Number     uint64      `json:"number"`
    GasUsed    uint64      `json:"gasUsed"`
    ParentHash common.Hash `json:"parentHash"`
}

Hope this help!
