How to add funds to wallet of my private network?

1

I am trying to build an application for which I need to make a transaction but I don’t have any funds in my wallet. However, while creating the private network my template.json file allocated funds to wallet1 2 3 but now I am unable to find any wallets with these names.

So either I need a way to access the wallets created(if any) at the time of creation of the network or I need some way to add funds to the wallet I created. Please help me.

The confusion is an unfortunate misuse of the word ‘Wallet’. Private networks generate Genesis Accounts. These accounts are imported into default unencrypted wallets local to each of the node instance folders in your network. So to fund your new account, you should be able to goal clerk send from one of the generated nodes. If you goal account list in a node that has a Genesis Account, you should see the account that was generated with a lot of tokens.

I ultimately shifted to testnet for development purpose. But I tried the above steps before moving to testnet and couldn’t execute them, so if you can post some additional details it would be helpful for people trying the private network.

I run some goal commands in a shell script to create a private network and get the genesis accounts like:

#!/bin/bash
set -e

echo “### Creating private network”
goal network create -n tn50e -t networktemplate.json -r test
echo

echo “### Starting private network”
goal network start -r test
echo

echo “### Checking node status”
goal network status -r test

echo “### Importing root keys”
NODEKEY=$(goal account list -d test/Node | awk ‘{print $2}’)

PRIMKEY=$(goal account list -d test/Primary | awk ‘{print $2}’)

echo “Imported {NODEKEY}" echo "Imported {PRIMKEY}”
echo

read -p “Press enter to send tokens”
echo “### Sending money from one account to another”
goal clerk send -a 10000 -f $NODEKEY -t $PRIMKEY -d test/Node
echo

That said my template is different than the default. Mine is:
{
“Genesis”: {
“NetworkName”: “”,
“Wallets”: [
{
“Name”: “Wallet1”,
“Stake”: 50,
“Online”: true
},
{
“Name”: “Wallet2”,
“Stake”: 50,
“Online”: true
}
]
},
“Nodes”: [
{
“Name”: “Primary”,
“IsRelay”: true,
“Wallets”: [
{
“Name”: “Wallet1”,
“ParticipationOnly”: false
}
]
},
{
“Name”: “Node”,
“Wallets”: [
{
“Name”: “Wallet2”,
“ParticipationOnly”: false
}
]
}
]
}
