As the
./zwallet createmswalletcommand demonstrates in the help section above, it will create a ms (multi-signature) wallet using mandatory flags numsigners threshold .testn flag can also be used but by default it is set to false.numsignersflag in the createmswallet command specify the the number of accounts that can sign the vote for the transaction. The variable passed is an integerthresholdflag in the createmswallet command specify the minimum number of votes required for the transaction to pass. The variable passed is an integer.testnis an optional flag and if set to true will test ending votes from all signer accounts. When not specified it is set to false and votes from only threshold number of signer accounts is used.
So if you want to create a multi-signature wallet with 4 signers and a minimum votes transaction pass value of 2. The sample command would be:
1
./zwallet createmswallet --numsigners 4 --threshold 2

In Successful Response, ZWallet will automatically create a wallet, a read pool and register 4 signer wallets.
The wallet information will be stored in
wallet.json located in the zcn folder in linux home directory.Test ZCN tokens will be automatically added into these wallets and vote testing for 2(threshold value) signer accounts is done. You can specify testing for all 4 signer accounts by specifying the
testn flag and setting it to true.Output:
1
No wallet in path /root/.zcn/wallet.json found. Creating wallet...
2
ZCN wallet created!!
3

Here with
--desc flag the reason for sending tokens can be specified,--fee flag specifies the cost to send the certain amount of tokens(the fee is specified by the miner and gets deducted from senders wallet), client id for the reciever wallet is required and can be fetched by viewing the contents of their wallet.json file. Lastly number of tokens which has to be send to another wallet has to be specified.Note: The desc, client id and tokens flag are required flags for send command. The command wont work without them.
fee flag is optional.For demonstration, let's send 0.1 tokens with a fee of 0.1 from our wallet to a specified client ID as a gift.
Before sending lets check our wallet balance using:
1
./zwallet getbalance
Copied!
Sample Response:
1
Balance: 0.6 (0.69 USD)
Copied!
By default ZWallet checks balance and send tokens from wallet specified in
wallet.json file. To send tokens use:1
./zwallet send --to_client_id 26e5b70fcba3f72a475ef1dbc66e454d3b458b950d62c6ec218cc3425e3b621f --tokens .2 --desc "gift" --fee 0.1
Copied!
Response:
1
Send tokens success
Copied!
To verify whether tokens are sent to the receiver, check the wallet balance. The tokens specified in send command and transaction fee should be deducted from your wallet balance.
1
Balance: 0.4 (0.45199999999999996 USD)
Copied!
Note: To use a different wallet as a sender, use
--wallet global parameter.1
./zwallet send --to_client_id 26e5b70fcba3f72a475ef1dbc66e454d3b458b950d62c6ec218cc3425e3b621f --tokens .1 --desc "gift" --fee 0.1 --wallet another_wallet.json
