Now you should be able to use this balance for any type of interaction with the private Blockchain, such as sending Bitcoin transactions according to [Chapter 4]((04_0_Sending_Bitcoin_Transactions.md)) in this guide. The only difference is that you need to use the flag `-regtest` when running the `bitcoin-cli` in order for the request to be sent to the Regtest Bitcoin daemon.
It is important to note that for your transactions to complete, you will have to generate/mine new blocks so that the transactions can be included into them.
