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.
For example, to create a transaction and include into a block:
```
$ bitcoin-cli -regtest sendtoaddress [address] 10.0
```
And after it, if your application requires 6 confirmations, you can mine additional 6 blocks into your Regtest chain:
```
$ bitcoin-cli -regtest generate 6
```
