How to send the zen away from the z-addresses on your node
Hi all,
this question comes up quite frequently and I cant believe I have not consolidated the instructions into a single post. So hopefully you will all find this useful
Sending the zen from the challenge z-addresses is a multi-step process.
The first is to obtain a list of z-address on your node
zen-cli z_listaddresses
then you need to get the balance from each address using
zen-cli z_getbalance <zaddr>
replacing <zaddr> with one of the z-addresses, then repeat for each z-address
then you need to send using
zen-cli z_sendmany <zaddr> '[{"address":"<receiving-address>","amount":<bal>}]'
replacing the <zaddr> with a address from the previous command, <receiving-address> of where you want to send to, and <bal> the amount from the z_getbalance command minus 0.0001 for the network fee
Then repeat for the other addresses with a balance
to check the status of the z_sendmany command, please run
zen-cli z_getoperationstatus
