Understanding the iquidus API settings

Question

I am trying to understand what values I am being asked for in the settings.json to install the block explorer for Iquidus. I know how to get the genesis block as I have hard coded it when I did a fork to create a new altcoin, however, I am unsure how to get the genesis_tx. I know you can convert it from the genesis block but I am unsure how?

"genesis": { "genesis_tx": " ", "genesis_block": " "}

In terms of the API settings, they are asking for an address, blockindex, blockhash, and txhash. The blockindex can be any value within your block height... so do I pick just any one value for the index with the corresponding address in the transaction list? Also, how do I get the txhash and the blockhash? These values to my understanding are subject to change and I know they are stored in the blockchain... does anyone know how I can retrieve this information?

"api": { "blockindex": " ", "blockhash": " ", "txhash": " ", "address": " " },

I appreciate your time and consideration.

Answer 1

Figure out your blockhash with index=0 (normally in your coind debug window,s you can: do a

getblockhash 0 (0 = genesis block number)

With the return value from that, you do a getblock xxxx

eg:


getblockhash 0
