RPC Browser and transactions legacy

These are the main steps to be done to send a transaction from the rpc-browser. These are to be done in using legacy addresses to showcase the use of the explorer and terminal. All the steps done from terminal can be done visually from the local bitcoin explorer deployed using clarinet integrate.

Main steps:

Section titled “Main steps:”
  1. getnewaddress - 3 legacy_addresses alice1, alice2 and bob
  2. get privkey alice1 and bob - dumprivkey
  3. generate 101 blocks to one address to andrei1
  4. sendtoaddress to bob, amount
  5. sign it using the private key of bob

Complete flow

Section titled “Complete flow”
  1. create legacy_wallet from cli
Terminal window
bitcoin-cli -rpcuser=devnet -rpcpassword=devnet -rpcconnect=localhost -rpcport=18443 createwallet our_legacy_wallet false false "" false false false
  1. use specific wallet ( if more present ) → add argument -rpcwallet=our_legacy_wallet get new addresses for andrei1, deployer, andrei2 and their private keys
Terminal window
bitcoin-cli -rpcuser=devnet -rpcpassword=devnet -rpcconnect=localhost -rpcport=18443 -rpcwallet=our_legacy_wallet getnewaddress
>> new_address
bitcoin-cli -rpcuser=devnet -rpcpassword=devnet -rpcconnect=localhost -rpcport=18443 -rpcwallet=our_legacy_wallet dumpprivkey "new_address"
>> privkey
  1. generate blocks to andrei1 to have balance
Terminal window
bitcoin-cli -rpcuser=devnet -rpcpassword=devnet -rpcconnect=localhost -rpcport=18443 -rpcwallet=our_legacy_wallet generatetoaddress 100 bcrt1q2282phtvk88049pkdk9nrhp6kydcrqngyhdcw9
  1. send to deployer 0.01 BTC
Terminal window
bitcoin-cli -rpcuser=devnet -rpcpassword=devnet -rpcconnect=localhost -rpcport=18443 -rpcwallet=our_legacy_wallet sendtoaddress bcrt1q8ntuj6ljdhnk9cqzlj7kpfrwtqx6k4h9xfthxh 0.01
