The Genesis File for setting up a local test network has changed

[anthonyjp87]

Hi,

There is an issue with the Genesis file as described in the homestead-guide/source/network/test-networks.rst. I believe the format has changed.

currently in homestead doc:
{
"nonce": "0x0000000000000042", "timestamp": "0x0",
"parentHash": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
"extraData": "0x0", "gasLimit": "0x8000000", "difficulty": "0x400",
"mixhash": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
"coinbase": "0x3333333333333333333333333333333333333333", "alloc": { }
}

Currently supported in Ethereum based on my testing (12/22/17) and described at this link https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Private-network
{
"config": {
"chainId": 15,
"homesteadBlock": 0,
"eip155Block": 0,
"eip158Block": 0
},
"difficulty": "200000000",
"gasLimit": "2100000",
"alloc": {
"7df9a875a174b3bc565e6424a0050ebc1b2d1d82": { "balance": "300000" },
"f41c74c9ae680c1aa78f42e5647a62f353b7bdde": { "balance": "400000" }
}
}

Yes, the source /source/network/test-networks.rst that is also published at http://ethdocs.org/en/latest/network/test-networks.html
is outdated

There is question if this repository is cared for at all #412
