Genesis Block

The genesis block is the first block in your blockchain. It's never empty, even if configs/peer/genesis.json is. We recommend adding at least one more account to the genesis block.

In our case, it was alice@wonderland, with the public key ed01207233bfc89dcbd68c19fde6ce6158225298ec1131b6a130d1aeb454c1ab5183c0. Think of it as the password used to "log in" as alice.

Genesis Block Example: alice@wonderland

Note

Iroha is case-sensitive, meaning that Alice@wonderland is different from alice@wonderland. It should go without saying that alice@wonderland is not the same as alice@looking_glass either, since these accounts belong to different domains, wonderland and looking_glass.
