Send Transaction

Create Transaction

# Sender: thor1505gp5h48zd24uexrfgka70fg8ccedafsnj0e3
# Receiver: thor1gutjhrw4xlu3n3p3k3r0vexl2xknq3nv8ux9fy
# Amount: 1 RUNE (in 1e8 notation)
thornode tx bank send thor1505gp5h48zd24uexrfgka70fg8ccedafsnj0e3 thor1gutjhrw4xlu3n3p3k3r0vexl2xknq3nv8ux9fy 100000000rune --chain-id thorchain-1 --node https://rpc.ninerealms.com:443 --gas 3000000 --generate-only > tx_raw.json

This will output a file called tx_raw.json. Edit this file and change the @type field from /cosmos.bank.v1beta1.MsgSend to /types.MsgSend.

The tx_raw.json transaction should look like this:

{
  "body": {
    "messages": [
      {
        "@type": "/types.MsgSend",
        "from_address": "thor1505gp5h48zd24uexrfgka70fg8ccedafsnj0e3",
        "to_address": "thor1gutjhrw4xlu3n3p3k3r0vexl2xknq3nv8ux9fy",
        "amount": [{ "denom": "rune", "amount": "100000000" }]
      }
    ],
    "memo": "",
    "timeout_height": "0",
    "extension_options": [],
    "non_critical_extension_options": []
  },
  "auth_info": {
    "signer_infos": [],
    "fee": { "amount": [], "gas_limit": "3000000", "payer": "", "granter": "" }
  },
  "signatures": []
}

Sign Transaction

thornode tx sign tx_raw.json --from {accountName} --sign-mode amino-json --chain-id thorchain-1 --node https://rpc.ninerealms.com:443 > tx.json

This will output a file called tx.json.

Broadcast Transaction

thornode tx broadcast tx.json --chain-id thorchain-1 --node https://rpc.ninerealms.com:443 --gas auto
