Balance does not increase by mining in private net

Question

I can not mining from geth(v1.8.3) by using private_net. But I can not increase my account balance. I want to increase my account balance.

Is there anyone to solve it?

My execution commands are below.

after executing this command, I confirmed mining start.

$ geth --datadir ~/private_net --port 7545 --networkid 1111 console 2>>node.log

$ eth.miner()

but balance does not increase.

$ eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[0])

genesis.json

The correct command to run the miner is:

miner.start()

You can even specify the number of CPU threads with:

miner.start(7)

And stop it again with:

miner.stop()

However, for private chains I would recommend you proof-of-authority chains or instant-seal chains such as Parity provides. This allows you not to spend too much energy on sealing blocks.

Note, I work for Parity.
