How To Use The Command Line (CLI) To Send Cryptocurrency From Wallet

 Here’s the clean, no‑nonsense breakdown you actually need — how to send crypto from the command line, depending on the chain you’re working with.

 Different coins use different CLI tools, so I’ll give you the correct commands for the major ones you’re likely to touch:

 (Bitcoin, Monero, and a general RPC pattern you can adapt for others like Kaspa, Ethereum, etc.)

🚀 Quick Answer: Yes — you can send crypto from the command line.

But the exact command depends entirely on the wallet/daemon you're using.

 Below are the correct, real commands for the most common chains.

🟧 1. Bitcoin (bitcoin-cli)

Source:

 Bitcoin Core CLI docs: 

Send BTC to an address:

`bash

bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress "ADDRESS" AMOUNT

`

Example:

`bash

bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress "bc1qxyz..." 0.01

`

 If your node requires RPC credentials:

`bash

bitcoin-cli -rpcuser=user -rpcpassword=pass sendtoaddress "bc1qxyz..." 0.01

`

 

 Raw transaction flow (advanced)

If you want full control:

1. createrawtransaction

2. fundrawtransaction

3. signrawtransactionwithwallet

4. sendrawtransaction

Bitcoin Core’s command-line guide covers this in detail. 

🟧 2. Monero (monero-wallet-cli)

Source: 

Monero CLI guide:

Open your wallet:

`bash

monero-wallet-cli --wallet-file mywallet

`

Send XMR:

`bash

transfer ADDRESS AMOUNT

`

Example:

`bash

transfer 89a1... 1.25

`

With priority:

`bash

transfer --priority 2 89a1... 1.25

`

Check balance:

`bash

balance

`

🟧 3. Ethereum / EVM Chains (via geth or RPC):

Using geth console:

`bash

eth.sendTransaction({from: "0xYourAddr", to: "0xRecipient", value: web3.toWei(0.1, "ether")})

`

Using curl + JSON-RPC:

`bash

curl -X POST --data '{

  "jsonrpc":"2.0",

  "method":"eth_sendTransaction",

  "params":[{

    "from":"0xYourAddr",

    "to":"0xRecipient",

    "value":"0x16345785D8A0000"

  }],

  "id":1

}' http://localhost:8545

🟧 4. Kaspa (kaspad RPC or kaspawallet CLI):

Using kaspawallet

`bash

kaspawallet send --address kaspa:q... --amount 10

Using RPC (curl)

`bash

curl -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"sendTransaction","params":{"to":"kaspa:q...","amount":10},"id":1}' \

     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

🟧 5. General Pattern for Any Crypto CLI

Almost every blockchain follows this structure:

| Step | Command Type | Purpose |

|------|--------------|---------|

| 1 | Start daemon | Node must be running |

| 2 | Unlock wallet | Some chains require it |

| 3 | Send command | sendtoaddress, transfer, etc. |

| 4 | Confirm TX | Check mempool or explorer |
