Ethereum Tutorials - Herong's Tutorial Examples

∟Transferring Funds between Ether Accounts

∟Create Second Ether Account

This section describes how to create the second Ether account on 'geth' node.

Since my private Ether network is properly running and my Ether account is getting more and more Ether money from my mining work, I can create more Ether accounts and learn how to transfer funds.

1. Create the second Ether account with the personal.newAccount() method on the "geth" JavaScript console: 

C:\>"\Program Files\Geth\geth" 
   --datadir \herong\Ethereum\personal console 2>> geth-personal.log

Welcome to the Geth JavaScript console!

> eth.accounts
["0x05d4e1a499775ce9d681abd50bda655c7b5ccb90"]

> personal.newAccount()
Passphrase: ******
Repeat passphrase: ******
"0x485410d2e7b8bfb6f78e5e5acf7d1057cb853fce"

> eth.accounts
["0x05d4e1a499775ce9d681abd50bda655c7b5ccb90", 
 "0x485410d2e7b8bfb6f78e5e5acf7d1057cb853fce"]

2. Confirm key store files of both Ether accounts: 

C:\>dir \herong\Ethereum\personal\keystore
UTC--2018-03-04T19-19-47.389227400Z--05d4e1a499775ce9d681abd50bda655c7b5ccb90
UTC--2018-03-04T20-01-47.997345200Z--485410d2e7b8bfb6f78e5e5acf7d1057cb853fce

3. Check balances of both accounts: 

> web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[0]),"ether")
10000055

> web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[1]),"ether")
0

Okay, I have two Ether accounts on my private Ethereum network. See the next tutorial on how to send Ether fund from one account to another.
