Lamden Genesis Block Downloader

Description

This utility downloads the Lamden Genesis Block and its associated state changes from the Lamden GitHub repository. The Genesis Block contains the initial state of the blockchain, and the state changes include all the transactions that modify the blockchain's state. The script prompts you to select an environment (mainnet, testnet, or staging) and optionally allows you to specify a destination directory for the downloaded genesis_block.json file.

Requirements

  • Python 3.6+
  • requests library

Installation

  1. Install the requests library:
pip install requests

Running the Script

To run the script, navigate to the directory containing the get_genesis_block.py file and execute the following command:

python utils/get_genesis_block.py

The script will prompt you to enter the environment (mainnet, testnet, or staging). If you don't provide any input, it will default to "mainnet".

Optionally, you can specify a destination directory for the genesis_block.json file using the -d or --dest flag:

python utils/get_genesis_block.py -d /path/to/destination

If a genesis_block.json file already exists in the specified destination, the script will prompt you to overwrite it

Once the download is complete, the Genesis Block will be saved as a genesis_block.json file in the specified destination directory.

Example

python utils/get_genesis_block.py -d /home/user/my-genesis-blocks

This command downloads the Genesis Block and associated state changes for the selected environment, saving the genesis_block.json file to the /home/user/my-genesis-blocks directory.
