Chain ID set to 1(provided 15) while creating private net using Geth

Question

[{ "difficulty" : "0x20000", "extraData" : "", "gasLimit" : "0x8000000", "alloc": {}, "config": { "chainId": 15, "homesteadBlock": 0, "eip155Block": 0, "eip158Block": 0 } }]

this is my genesis.json file & as mention chainid is 15.

Answer 1

You are missing double dash in front of the datadir parameter. It should be geth --datadir=<YOUR_DATA_DIR> console. So you are reading from other directory.

You have to use the same --datadir when creating your private blockchain with geth --datadir=<YOUR_DATA_DIR> init <YOUR_GENESIS_FILE>.
