Can anyone point me to a good up-to-date tutorial on ethereum private networks? The last one that I saw that was any good still refers to the "--genesis" flat (whereas now "init" is correct) and since I'm having trouble implementing my private network, I'd like to know for sure I have an up-to-date resource so I can debug better.

Thanks!

EDIT: I have been educated as to why this post isn't ideal for this forum. My apologies. Live and learn.

  • Hello stone.212, Your question will likely get flagged and closed because requests for tutorial links are considered off-topic here (this is probably why someone down voted your question already).

  • Oh man, thank you. I tried deleting this post but I cannot. So I'll look at the answers and try to mark one as correct quickly.

  • Funny, I wouldn't have asked for a book recommendation but I didn't think of this as being potentially flame-inducing... but now that I think of it I'm in total agreement. So I officially apologize and appreciate the correction.

  • Stone.212, I think if you explained what specific problem(s) you are having with implementing your private network, and you clarified what you tried / what has not worked, your question would meet on topic guidelines, and you might get some good advice around how to troubleshoot that. Maybe try to edit in that direction?

    @Tesa Thank you. I have a separate post that might help you understand the issue here: ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/16866/…. But I will still be looking for a tutorial on private blockchains, even when I get past that hurdle.

  • Yes, I have tried that. I did not have success. It doesn't explain how to build a private network so much as how to build a specific private network.

  • I am not stuck. That tutorial is for setting up a particular private network, not a tutorial for how to set up a private network in general. I am grateful for the link but it doesn't help because it is for something different from what I'm doing.

I shared the steps to setup private net in another question -

How do I set up a private ethereum network?

You can take a look.

Note: I'm assuming you have installed geth and go on your machine.

Hope this helps.

  • Upvote regardless. I'll take a look soon.

  • I finally had time to go through that link. Halfway through I realized it was the doc I originally used. It doesn't help. I follow the steps, geth starts, and... nothing. "Nothing" means that my other two (parity) nodes do not notice a third node on the network. This is the precise problem that leads me to ask for a private network tutorial. Not a step by step necessarily but a tutorial. Because I am guessing that I need to learn more in order to start debugging, since geth thinks everything is ok but it isn't.
