Send via File using the CLI Wallet
To follow this tutorial, you will need the following:
- Up-to-date mwc-wallet Software: https://github.com/mwcproject/mwc-wallet/releases
- Up-to-date mwc-node Software: https://github.com/mwcproject/mwc-node/releases
First let's lay out the overall procedure, more detailed instructions with screenshots are below:
- Start your Node and wait for it to Sync
- Open a Commandline or Shell and navigate to your Wallet's Folder
- Create a Transactionfile by typing the send Command
- Confirm typing your password
- Exchange your Transactionfile with the recipient or Upload it to your Exchange
- Download the Anwserfile from your recipient or exchange
- Finalize the transaction by using the finalize command
- Confirm Typing your password and wait for the transaction to confirm
-
Start your Node and make sure it is fully snychronised before continuing!
-
Open a Commandline or shell in your Walletfolder and use the following command:
mwc-wallet send -m file -d Mytransactionfile.tx %Amount%
mwc-wallet.exe send -m file -d Mytransactionfile.tx %Amount%
<enter password>
Where you will need to Replace %Amount% with the Amount to send. Also make sure that the File "Mytransactionfile.tx" doesn't exist yet, choose a new Filename everytime!
- Once the transaction is confirmed and sent, the recipient needs to wait for enough confirmations (set to 10 blocks by default) to spend the fund received recently.
