I have set up a private ETH network for learning purposes. Everything good so far.
The usual initialization
geth --datadir=./chaindata/ init ./genesis.json
geth --datadir=./chaindata/On Windows you install Geth and run
geth --datadir=./chaindata/ then open Mist and click Launch.
On macOS we run a dev console then open Mist via bash like this.
geth --devopen -a /Applications/Mist.app --args --rpc /var/folders/y1/jynwfrwj411bxck8whqgcbr00000gq/T/geth.ipcEverything opens fine and I'm ready to go. But Mist is displaying a very long ether value for the etherbase instead of a nice simple coin value. Is this normal?
I found someone's screen shot on Windows and it shows the simple coin value. Is that because it's an older client or because it's Windows?
