Export the state

go-bitsong can dump the entire application state into a JSON file. This application state dump is useful for manual analysis and can also be used as the genesis file of a new network.

Export state with:

bitsongd export 2> [filename].json

You can also export state from a particular height (at the end of processing the block of that height):

bitsongd export --height [height] 2> [filename].json

If you plan to start a new network from the exported state, export with the --for-zero-height flag:

bitsongd export --height [height] --for-zero-height 2> [filename].json
