Hm, how can I get this balance shown in MetaMask? In Metamask I am using localhost 8545. I have tried to use localhost 8545 at step 5, but it doesn’t work - doesn’t help me to get non-zero MetaMask balance on my private node.

How can I get non zero ETH balance on Localhost 8545?

Ok, got it for localhost 8080. Can I change localhost for geth?

--rpcport value

I’ve tried it as you can see in the medium article above: «geth --identity “LocalTestNode” --rpc --rpcport 8080 --rpccorsdomain “*” --datadir ~/mychain/data/ --port 30303 --nodiscover --rpcapi db,eth,net,web3,personal --networkid 1999 --maxpeers 0 --verbosity 6 init ~/mychain/CustomGenesis.json 2>> ~/mychain/logs/00.log», but I still see 0 ETH balance in Metamask. Shouldn’t it use CustomGenesis.json for getting ETH balance in 8545 localhost? I see only non-zero ETH balance in localhost 8080 in Metamask, how to get non-zero balance in Metamask for 8545 also?

This is from console: MacBook-Pro-user:mychain user$ geth --identity “LocalTestNode” --rpc --rpcport 8545 --rpccorsdomain “*” --datadir ~/mychain/data/ --port 30303 --nodiscover --rpcapi db,eth,net,web3,personal --networkid 1999 --maxpeers 0 console

but MetaMask balance for 8545 is still zero, why? I used 8545 localhost in geth initialization wth genesis block with non-zero accounts

Did you imported the account to metamask?

Yes, using same private key as the account in the CustomGenesis.json, or should I import it after the geth initialization again?

In Java console I see non-zero balances for these accounts: > eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[0]);
2.3229320729235784806170624e+25
> eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[1]);
4.257213384306985160146944e+25

can you show metamask config with url to the node?

probably you need to set this param --rpccorsdomain="chrome-extension://nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn”

Where should I get Metamask config? Should I download grid as it is shown here? https://medium.com/ethereum-grid/metamask-ethereum-grid-run-your-own-node-without-the-command-line-b36f11460093

There are bunch of “clients” that emulate ethereum network and you can use any of them but it depends on your main purpose. If you want just to test your smart-contracts you can use ganache for example

I just want to run aragon dao locally and test it with local ethereum chain, yes

ok, will try
