How Do I Send Ethereum With Geth?

Assuming you have some Ethereum and want to send it to another person, the process is fairly simple. You will need to use the command line interface, Geth, and will need to have your wallet password handy. The process is as follows:

1. Open up the Geth console and unlock your account by typing in your password.

2. Type in the following command to see your account’s ETH balance: web3.

eth.getBalance(“your_address”).

3. To send ETH to another address, type in the following command, substituting in the appropriate information: web3.eth.

sendTransaction({from: “your_address”, to: “destination_address”, value: web3.toWei(amount_to_send, “ether”)}).

4. You will then need to confirm the transaction by typing in your password again.

5. Once the transaction is confirmed, it will be included in the next block that is mined on the Ethereum blockchain and will be considered complete.

NOTE: WARNING: Sending Ethereum with Geth can be complicated and high-risk. Before attempting to use Geth to send Ethereum, it is important to understand how it works and to be aware of any possible risks. You should always back up your wallet and double check that you are sending the correct amount of Ethereum to the right address before initiating a transaction. Additionally, it is recommended to only use Geth with a secure internet connection and on a device that you trust.
