Send your first transaction using Windows

arandy

Hi i want to test between my won accounts. I have unlocked the 0 account but i keep getting the error exceeds gas limit.
How can i send something right now i see other people doing it.

I'm using this

sender = eth.accounts[0];
recipient = eth.accounts[2];
amount = web3.toWei(1, "ether"), gasPrice = web3.toWei(120, "gwei"), gas = 21000;
eth.sendTransaction({from: sender, to: recipient, value: 1})

Solved it

web3.eth.sendTransaction({from: web3.eth.coinbase, to: '0x2910543af39aba0cd09dbb2d50200b3e800a63d2', value: web3.toWei(1, 'ether'), data: web3.toHex('EN7FQHHVG'), gas:25000});

Go ahead, try it out and donate 1 ether to me at the same time

web3.eth.coinbase
is the from adress,
in this case its the adress you set your mining rewards to go to

0x2910543af39aba0cd09dbb2d50200b3e800a63d2
is the recieving adress

I'm running windows 8.1 and geth 1.0.1

Edit: web3.toHex('EN7FQHHVG') is an additional message added to the transaction. That is a generated Kraken adress. They use the added message to identify funds.

@jakves I don't understand this part here:

web3.toHex('EN7FQHHVG')

What this for?

Also I still didn't understand what is this gas thing, can somebody explain me what is this? Do I need to do something to have it? Or if I load my pre-sale wallet I will have it by default?

geth attach

Then paste and hit enter

web3.eth.sendTransaction({from: web3.eth.accounts[0], to: '0xee7a22ba6e2a440766740f46a2faccae8078fa83', value: web3.toWei(100, 'ether'), data: web3.toHex('putdownanylabelyoulike')});

Replace accounbt if needed, adres, value is in whole ethers, and label it.

You dont need it to transfer between personal wallets

Thanks very much ! This thread helped me send my ether to Kraken. I felt accomplished until I saw Kraken had an import presale wallet page lol. At least I learned something and didn't screw up. Will send you a tip later when my ridiculous 6000 TX confirms happens. Or post your bitcoin address and I will send you something jakves. Thx !

Where is the Kraken import presale wallet page? That would totally solve my problem, but I can't seem to find it.

Never mind. Found it! Thanks
