Wallet Send BSV
Build, sign, and broadcast a P2PKH payment from a WIF private key using @bsv/sdk.
Note: This skill is for WIF-key-based scripts and CLIs. If building an app where users have their own wallet, use wallet-brc100 with WalletClient.createAction() instead — the wallet handles UTXOs, signing, and broadcasting automatically.
When to Use
- Scripts and CLIs that own a WIF private key
- Server-side BSV payments from a managed key
- Quick one-off transfers from a known address
Usage
bun run skills/wallet-send-bsv/scripts/send.ts <from-wif> <to-address> <amount-satoshis>
bun run skills/wallet-send-bsv/scripts/send.ts --help
bun run skills/wallet-send-bsv/scripts/send.ts L1abc... 1BvBMSEY... 1000
