Getting Etherium to work

[Piu3344]

Hi all, I'm trying to get etherium to work, but I'm kinda stuck here ...
So first, I downloaded the source and build it on my Cent OS 7 box ... went smooth and no errors.

I created the Genesis-Block and started up geth:

Code:

geth --genesis genesis_block.json

But now I can't see any progress ...

Code:

geth --genesis genesis_block.json

I've opened port 30303 in my firewall.

Can you help me out

I would use the simple 1 line command they give on the site..

Same line required for an upgrade.

Code:

bash <(curl https://install-eth.ethereum.org -L)

It now comes with the genesis block so it all just 'works'.

No, that dosn't work ... seems this only works for Debian/Ubuntu ... but not for CentOS/Fedora/RHEL

Ethereum is performing better than Bitcoin as stated by ConsenSys, Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, smart contracts and ICOs. According to OnChainFX, Ethereum prices have increased by 10,298% since last year this time. Ethereum rose by 66% over a week's time and hence proved to be one of the best performing cryptocurrencies this month.
Ethereum, introduced by Vitalik Buterin has drawn a lot of attention from the crypto enthusiasts, for securing the second position with the largest market capitalization. Ethereum, as a platform, enables dozens of cryptocurrencies to exist, without having to build their own blockchain technology.
