Send Coins

Transfer coins between accounts and repositories.

The native coin can be transferred from one account to another account by creating and sending a TxCoinTransfer transaction.

Example

Console

user.send({ 
   to: "os1858effdlfecl30hgq0dvpesygp2daf97malemz", 
   value:"5000",
   fee: "1",
   nonce: 3,
}, user.getKey(accounts[0], "passphrase"))

CLI

lob user send "os1858effdlfecl30hgq0dvpesygp2daf97malemz"  \
    --fee=1.2  \
    --value=5000  \
    --nonce=3  \
    --signing-key=0

The code above calls the user.send console method, passing to it the transaction data and a key from the key store.

In the example above, we unlock Alice’s private key using user.getKey, set the transfer value to 5000 and fee to 1.

to specifies the recipient of the transaction value. To can be a user address or a repository full address.

nonce is the number of all transactions Alice’s key has sent to the network. The nonce value is used to order Alice’s transactions and prevent a double-spend attack. If not provided, it will be automatically set.

On the console, the accountsglobal variable contains a list of address of keys on the keystore.

Send Coins to a Repository

var alicePrivateKey = user.getKey(accounts[0], "passphrase")
user.send({ 
   to: "r/cashmap", 
   value:"5000",
   fee: "1",
   nonce: 3,
}, alicePrivateKey)

Here we are transferring 5000 coins to a repository called cashmap; We prefixed the repository name with r/ to indicate that the recipient is a repo.
