To disconnect from console press Ctrl + D

For node2

Open new terminal, and create node2

$ ./geth/geth --networkid 100 \
   --identity node2 \
   --verbosity 3 \
   --nodiscover \
   --nat none \
   --datadir node2 \

Checking account balance

From any node console, check account balance in Wei
```
> eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[0])
0
```

Check account balance in Ether
