### Starting a Ethermint daemon (node)
First, create a key to use in signing the genesis transaction:
The following config steps can be performed all at once by executing the `init.sh` file located in the root directory like this:
```bash
./init.sh
```
> This bash file removes previous blockchain data from `~/.emintd` and `~/.emintcli`. It uses the `keyring-backend` called `test` that should prevent you from needing to enter a passkey. The `keyring-backend` `test` is unsecured and should not be used in production.
To initalize your chain manually, first create a key to use in signing the genesis transaction:
```bash
emintcli keys add mykey
emintcli keys add mykey --keyring-backend test
```
> replace mykey with whatever you want to name the key

#### Keyring backend options
Ethermint supports using a file or OS keyring backend for key storage. To create and use a file stored key instead of defaulting to the OS keyring, add the flag `--keyring-backend file` to any relevant command and the password prompt will occur through the command line.
