This chapter lays out three ways to send funds via Bitcoin's cli interface. Section 4.1 described how to do so with a simple command, and section 4.4 detailed how to use a more dangerous raw transaction. This final section splits the difference by showing how to make raw transactions simpler and safer.
This chapter lays out three ways to send funds via Bitcoin's cli interface. [§4.1](4_1_Sending_Coins_The_Easy_Way.md) described how to do so with a simple command, and [§4.4](4_4_Sending_Coins_with_a_Raw_Transaction.md) detailed how to use a more dangerous raw transaction.

For very conservative numbers, we suggested adding the following to the bitcoin.conf:
