Process MetaMask Transfer Transaction

This section describes how to process and view the transfer transaction submitted by MetaMask wallet.

With the transfer transaction submitted correctly from the MetaMask wallet, I can turn on the miner to process it.

1. On "geth" console, start the miner and wait for the CPU to go crazy:

> miner.start(4)

> eth.getTransaction(txid).hash
"0x029f863ecf7c888825e0a26d215d0e60467d9fe95af1f3d8718993e6cd8d0284"

> eth.getTransaction(txid).blockNumber
null
...

> eth.getTransaction(txid).blockNumber
49

> miner.stop()
true

Ok. Transaction is processed now. I stopped the miner to save some electricity power.

2. On the MetaMask wallet, the balance is updated to 97.999979 ETH now. So I got charged with a 0.000021 ETH transaction fee.

3. Check the balance on my second "geth" account:

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

> eth.getBalance(receiver)
2000000000000000000

> web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(receiver),"ether")
2

I did receive 2 ETH.

4. Check the balance on my coinbase account:

> eth.coinbase
"0x05d4e1a499775ce9d681abd50bda655c7b5ccb90"

> web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(eth.coinbase),"ether")
10000155.000021

The miner did receive the transaction fee (0.000021 ETH) as part of the mining reward!
