I just created...and am running...a brand new Ethereum network, called Cochran, where the purpose behind this is instant mining and confirmations. The following code is below for the Genesis file:
{
"name": "cochran",
"engine": {
"instantSeal": { "params": {} }
},
"params": {
"accountStartNonce": "0x0",
"maximumExtraDataSize": "0x20",
"minGasLimit": "0x1388",
"networkID" : "0x11"
},
"genesis": {
"seal": {
"generic": "0x0"
},
"difficulty": "0x20000",
"author": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
"timestamp": "0x00",

"extraData": "0x",
"gasLimit": "0x5B8D80"
},
"accounts": {
"0000000000000000000000000000000000000001": { "balance": "1", "builtin": { "name": "ecrecover", "pricing": { "linear": { "base": 3000, "word": 0 } } } },
"0000000000000000000000000000000000000002": { "balance": "1", "builtin": { "name": "sha256", "pricing": { "linear": { "base": 60, "word": 12 } } } },
"0000000000000000000000000000000000000003": { "balance": "1", "builtin": { "name": "ripemd160", "pricing": { "linear": { "base": 600, "word": 120 } } } },
"0000000000000000000000000000000000000004": { "balance": "1", "builtin": { "name": "identity", "pricing": { "linear": { "base": 15, "word": 3 } } } },
"0x00a329c0648769a73afac7f9381e08fb43dbea72": { "balance": "1606938044258990275541962092341162602522202993782792835301376" }
}
}
Any questions?
