This is weird. Can you try to remove the --genesis-json parameter from your command line? It might be conflict with the one in config.ini.

[ddzyan]

nodeos --data-dir /data/home/admin/EOSmainNet --config-dir /data/home/admin/EOSmainNet  

I get the same result

[JohnnyZhao]

any updates? same error here

[heifner]

--genesis-json is only valid via the command line. It is not allowed in the config.ini,

[firesWu]

In v1.3.0, parse_config_file's allow_unregistered set false, so config.ini can not appear any unregistered option. genesis-json register on command_line， not register on config_file.

[jgiszczak]

Support for genesis-json = was removed as a config file option many releases before v1.3.0. Until v1.3.0, it was simply ignored. Now it must be removed from config files.

[banshee]

For people hitting this and not remembering that they had created a config file - look in eosio_uninstall.sh to see where you should remove your existing (outdated) files. On Linux right now, you'd do rm -rf ~/.local/share/eosio;.

(Or you could do what I actually did - run strace nodeos and look for where it's doing an open of config.ini. It's kind of a big hammer to use, but strace will tell you exactly what files your process is opening; it's very handy.)
