Michael receives 0.05000000 BTC from Pablo and another 0.01000000 BTC from Kuradang. Michael also wants to send 0.02500000 BTC to Berteng. Each amount that Michael receives has the corresponding txid and other details. Lets check that out using
listunspent
command then create a raw transaction usingcreaterawtransaction
after that sign it usingsignrawtransaction
and send that raw transaction usingsendrawtransaction
.
listunspent
Format:
$ bitcoin-cli listunspent [misconf=1] [max_number_confirmation=99999999] '''["<wallet_address>"]'''
Lets check Michael's list of unspent using with his address.
Execute:
$ bitcoin-cli listunspent 1 99999999 '''["mkrzDhhZtzQm8zgckSs4fMNrvtNJ66zaFe"]'''
Result:

What we see here is the results that assigned 50 and 10 mBTC to our address mkrz…. To spend this output we will create a new transaction.
createrawtransaction
We need to choose some blocks with sufficient amount from the result of
listunspent
. Since we only need to send 0.02500000 mBTC I think the first block has the enough amount to make the transaction.
Format:
$ bitcoin-cli createrawtransaction
'[{
"txid" : "<txid_of_selected_block>",
"vout" : <vout>
}]'
'{"<recipient_address>": <amount_to_send>, "<sender_address>": <amount_change>}'
To pay the fee, we will reduce the change output by 0.5 millibits as you can see below.
Execute:
$ bitcoin-cli createrawtransaction
'[{
"txid" : "12b8e7ede4992f4d30f93idj3085746951d945e39f40becebd7c290af8c2e7ad",

The createrawtransaction command produces a raw hex string that encodes the transaction details we supplied. If you want to decode the hex just use decoderawtransaction command.
signrawtransaction
signs the transaction in the serialized transaction format using private keys stored in the wallet or provided in the call.
Format:
$ bitcoin-cli signrawtransaction <hex_createrawtransaction>
Execute:
$ bitcoin-cli signrawtransaction 0100000001e34ac1e2baac09c366fce1c2245536bda8f7db0f6685862aecf53ebd69f9a89c0000000000ffffffff02a0252600000000001976a914d90d36e98f62968d2bc9bbd68107564a156a9bcf88ac50622500000000001976a91407bdb518fa2e6089fd810235cf1100c9c13d1fd288ac00000000

Now the signrawtransaction command returns another hex-encoded raw transaction.
sendrawtransaction
RPC validates a transaction and broadcasts it to the peer-to-peer network.
Format:
$ bitcoin-cli sendrawtransaction <hex_signrawtransaction>
Execute:
$ bitcoin-cli sendrawtransaction 0100000001e34ac1e2baac09c366fce1c2245536bda8f7db0f6685862aecf53ebd69f9a89c000000006a47304402203e8a16522da80cef66bacfbc0c800c6d52c4a26d1d86a54e0a1b76d661f020c9022010397f00149f2a8fb2bc5bca52f2d7a7f87e3897a273ef54b277e4af52051a06012103c9700559f690c4a9182faa8bed88ad8a0c563777ac1d3f00fd44ea6c71dc5127ffffffff02a0252600000000001976a914d90d36e98f62968d2bc9bbd68107564a156a9bcf88ac50622500000000001976a91407bdb518fa2e6089fd810235cf1100c9c13d1fd288ac00000000

The command sendrawtransaction returns a transaction hash (txid) as it submits the transaction on the network. To check the transaction hash you can go to tbtc.blockr.io
