notes on getting up and running with ethereum

https://www.ethereum.org/

Get Geth

1. https://ethereum.org/cli
2. Learn

• https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Contracts-and-Transactions

1. Setting up dev env (also detailed on https://ethereum.org/cli but this kinda spelled it out more, and gave an example genesis.json file)

• http://hidskes.com/blog/2015/08/12/creating-a-testnet-using-geth/
• Note had to mkdir '~/.ethereum/DevChain'

$ geth --rpc --networkid=39318 --maxpeers=0 --datadir=~/.ethereum/DevChain/ --mine --minerthreads 1 --genesis genesis.json console

• Except that didn't work because i had no acct, so left out the '--mine' and it started up:

$ geth --rpc --networkid=39318 --maxpeers=0 --datadir=~/.ethereum/DevChain/  --minerthreads 1 --genesis genesis.json console

1. Actually, this site had the BEST detailed line-by-line instructions on creating a testnet, mining on it, compiling a contract (the Greeter example), deploying it, and running it: http://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/2751/deploying-the-greeter-contract-via-the-geth-cli-is-not-registering-in-my-private

Get Solidity

1. https://solidity.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
2. https://solidity.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing-solidity.html#binary-packages
3. Browser based solidity

• https://chriseth.github.io/browser-solidity/

hello world

1. https://ethereum.org/greeter

Use Mist

1. Found this site a useful overall explanation, and also good for getting going with Mist

• https://klmoney.wordpress.com/getting-started

1. Seems like most of the examples on ethereum.org are using Mist anyway
