What is the meanng of all theses terms

Does anyone know where I can find the docs for the definitions of each property. Is there a genesis.json API doc?

Dear colleagues, terribly sorry to ask if I can use the same as above values in sample file?

Hi Guys, this link clearly explains about the genesis.json file.

You may also want to consider using byzantiumBlock in the config definition for some of the newer compilers.

Sorry to bother but I got a message when using this json file:
Fatal: Failed to write genesis block: unsupported fork ordering: eip150Block not enabled, but eip155Block enabled at 0
Could you please update this gist?

Simply remove these 3 lines
Line 4,5,6

"homesteadBlock": 0,
"eip155Block": 0, 

"eip158Block": 0
