I am new to the blockchain. I have configured the geth and mist on my Windows 10 64bit.

I have configured the private network using command "geth --datadir=./foldername/"

ipc file got generated and then I launched mist browser.

After launching mist I created a Main Account by following the steps.Then I tried to run a HelloWorld contract as yoseen seen in the attached image. But I am unable to see the Main Account listed in from address on Deploy Contract Screen. Due to which I think I am unable to deploy the contract.

Can anyone help me on this? Thanks in advance.enter image description here

I found the solution. You need to get an initial allocated balance for at least one of your accounts. You can follow this post to learn how to allocate balances in the genesis.json file.

Make sure that you give it enough balance. It happened that I allocated initially "111111" and I found that in Mist UI, main window the balance for my user was "0.00"Eth. I clicked on the User account and realized that the actual balance was: "0.000000000111111", so that fooled me for a moment.

Hope it helps!
