What are the correct steps to make connection and communication within one Node by creating Private Network in windows? Installation of Geth is done in windows successfully, puppeth is also running. But whenever I try to start mining it is not working properly. There are 3 different accounts created by me. But mining is not working properly & displaying no epoch count.

startnode.cmd

geth --networkid 4224 --mine --minerthreads 2 --datadir "." --nodiscover --rpc --rpcport "8543" --port "30303" --rpccorsdomain "*" --nat "any" --rpcapi eth,web3,personal,net --unlock 0 --password ./password.sec

  • If you're asking for a different configuration than yours, then you should first tell us what's yours, don't you think?

  • I've just configured geth in PowerShell (Windows 10), then created directory in which I've stored .json file, .cmd file and genesis details, i have also created genesis block and then 3 accounts. Now whenever I execute the file startnode.cmd it will start processing but when I open second powershell to attach to geth and start mining, the first shell reflects by only a particular line that one block is mining

This is what I do:

File NodeInit.bat (run once, or whenever you want to delete the DB and start from zero):

rd /s /q data\geth
call "C:\Program Files\Geth\geth.exe" --datadir=.\data init .\genesis.json

File NodeOpen.bat (run whenever you want to start the network):

cmd /c "title geth & "C:\Program Files\Geth\geth.exe""  ^
    --networkid=100                                     ^
    --rpc                                               ^
    --rpcport=8545                                      ^
    --lightkdf                                          ^
    --mine                                              ^
    --etherbase=Address of account 1 (starting with 0x) ^
    --datadir=./data                                    ^
    --verbosity=2

File genesis.json:

{
   "config": {
      "chainId": 100,
      "homesteadBlock": 0,
      "eip155Block": 0,
      "eip158Block": 0,
      "byzantiumBlock": 0
   },
   "difficulty": "0",
   "gasLimit": "0x1fffffffffffff",
   "alloc": {
        "Address of account 1 (without 0x)": {"balance": "100000000000000000000000"},
        "Address of account 2 (without 0x)": {"balance": "100000000000000000000000"},
        "Address of account 3 (without 0x)": {"balance": "100000000000000000000000"}
    }
}
