no, from geth 1.5 you have to follow the new chain generation procedure wich it is to use geth --datadir <your datadir> init path/to/genesis.json after you created the accounts and wrote them in the genesis block, you don't want to use the --genesis anymore as these parameters are actually loaded from the datadir :)

| Jan 29, 2016 at 13:08 | comment | added | dbryson | Thanks. I've tried this. In fact I also followed the guide you link to. I was able to mine the initial blocks just fine. After that the problem seems to be there's nothing happening - no blocks generated or transactions processed | |
