```

Variable Declaration :

```
CHAIN_NAME="berylbit" 
CHAIN_ID="9012" 
NETWORK_ID="9012" 
WORKING_DIR=$HOME'/.'$CHAIN_NAME'-docker' 
CONTAINER_NAME_PREFIX="$CHAIN_NAME-node" 
BOOTNODE_URL="enode://6c2cc2b8184b5fd75e7ae6c00ae5bfc64e505089ad8fb018306845f5a4d94bd896a38c065f5ae480e456ff8fea4e4429c1f05640539c98ab6de8439a293370c0@45.63.108.190:30303"

Please alter this value of "xxxxxxxxxxx"

## Initialize the blockchain

Create new folder as working directory

```
mkdir -p $WORKING_DIR/$NODE_ROLE
```

Create new genesis.json file

```
cat << EOF > $WORKING_DIR/$NODE_ROLE/genesis.json

}
EOF
```

```
docker run
-v $WORKING_DIR/$NODE_ROLE:/root
--rm
-i
--platform linux/amd64
$CONTAINER_IMAGE init /root/genesis.json
```

Create new mining wallet

```
MINING_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(echo "$WALLET_PASSWORD $WALLET_PASSWORD" | docker run
-v $WORKING_DIR/$NODE_ROLE:/root
--rm
-i
--platform linux/amd64
$CONTAINER_IMAGE
account new |
sed -n 's/Public address of the key: //p'
)
```

Display the value of $MINING\_WALLET\_ADDRESS in Linux terminal

```
echo $MINING_WALLET_ADDRESS
```

```
docker kill $CONTAINER_NAME_PREFIX-$NODE_ROLE
```

```
docker rm $CONTAINER_NAME_PREFIX-$NODE_ROLE
```

```
docker run -d --name $CONTAINER_NAME_PREFIX-$NODE_ROLE
-v $WORKING_DIR/$NODE_ROLE:/root
--platform linux/amd64
-p 30303:30303
-p 30303:30303/udp
$CONTAINER_IMAGE
--port=30303
--mine
--miner.threads=1
--miner.etherbase $MINING_WALLET_ADDRESS
--networkid=$NETWORK_ID
--bootnodes=$BOOTNODE_URL
```

```
PEERS=$(docker run
-v $WORKING_DIR/$NODE_ROLE:/root
--rm
-i
--platform linux/amd64
$CONTAINER_IMAGE attach
--exec "admin.peers" | tr -d '"')
```

```
echo $PEERS
```

```
PEERS=$(docker run \
  -v $WORKING_DIR/$NODE_ROLE:/root \
  --rm \
  -i \
  --platform linux/amd64 \
  $CONTAINER_IMAGE attach \
  --exec "eth.sync" | tr -d '"')
```

Check Mining Wallet Balance

```
PEERS=$(docker run \
  -v $WORKING_DIR/$NODE_ROLE:/root \
  --rm \
  -i \
  --platform linux/amd64 \
  $CONTAINER_IMAGE attach \
  --exec "eth.getBalance('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx')"
```

please replace xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx string with your mining wallet.
