∟Send Ether from MetaMask to Private Network

This section describes how to send Ether from the MetaMask account to my Ether private network.

I have fixed the issue with the network ID and chainId on my private network. So I tried to send some Ethers from my MetaMask wallet to by "geth" wallet.

1. On "geth" console, pick up the address my second account:

> receiver = eth.accounts[1]
"0x485410d2e7b8bfb6f78e5e5acf7d1057cb853fce"

> web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(receiver),"ether")
0

2. On MetaMask, click "SEND" to get the send form. Then fill in the receiver address and 2 Ethers.

3. Click "SUBMIT". The transaction is accepted!

4. Click on "...". The status is "Pending". The account balance is still 100 ETH.

5. Check "geth" log file. I see this entry:

Submitted transaction fullhash=
   0x029f863ecf7c888825e0a26d215d0e60467d9fe95af1f3d8718993e6cd8d0284 
   recipient=0x485410d2e7B8bfB6F78E5E5acF7D1057Cb853Fce

6. Query this transaction on the "geth" console:

> txid = "0x029f863ecf7c888825e0a26d215d0e60467d9fe95af1f3d8718993e6cd8d0284"
"0x029f863ecf7c888825e0a26d215d0e60467d9fe95af1f3d8718993e6cd8d0284"

> eth.getTransaction(txid)
{

     "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
