I'm trying to send ether from a contract address generated by Truffle and use it as a sender to an Ethereum address (the current injected Metamask account). I already have transferred the ether from a source wallet to a contract using Truffle console, and I tried to copy the address of the contract and use it in web3.sendTransaction
method in Web3JS. However, the console.log yields the following error:
Invalid parameters: must provide an Ethereum address.
This is my Javascript code:
// transfer ether fxn (requires callback function)
function transfer () {
var callback = function(error, res) {
if(!error) {
console.log(res);
}
else {
console.log(error);
}
}
web3.eth.sendTransaction({
to: web3.eth.accounts[0], // current injected Metamask account on the DApp
from: '0x6509ee304ec8476cfa7e9074f2be5fcfb18e18b4', // the contract address from Truffle, yields the invalid parameters error
value: web3.toWei('0.01', 'ether')
}, callback);
}
