Run bitcoind on regtest:
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||
   bitcoind -regtest -rpcport=8332
 | 
			
		||||
   bitcoind -regtest
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Create a new wallet, if needed:
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||
   bitcoin-cli -regtest -rpcport=8332 createwallet test
 | 
			
		||||
   bitcoin-cli -regtest createwallet test
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Load wallet (this command may take a while if you have lot of UTXOs):
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||
   bitcoin-cli -regtest -rpcport=8332 loadwallet test
 | 
			
		||||
   bitcoin-cli -regtest loadwallet test
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Get a new address:
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||
   address=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -regtest -rpcport=8332 getnewaddress)
 | 
			
		||||
   address=$(bitcoin-cli -regtest getnewaddress)
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Mine blocks to the previously generated address. You need at least 101 blocks before you can spend. This will take some time to execute (~1 min):
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||
   bitcoin-cli -regtest -rpcport=8332 generatetoaddress 101 $address
 | 
			
		||||
   bitcoin-cli -regtest generatetoaddress 101 $address
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Send 0.1 BTC at 5 sat/vB to another address:
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||
   ./src/bitcoin-cli -named -regtest -rpcport=8332 sendtoaddress address=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -regtest -rpcport=8332 getnewaddress) amount=0.1 fee_rate=5
 | 
			
		||||
   bitcoin-cli -named -regtest sendtoaddress address=$(bitcoin-cli -regtest getnewaddress) amount=0.1 fee_rate=5
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
See more example of `sendtoaddress`:
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||
   ./src/bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress # will print the help
 | 
			
		||||
   bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress # will print the help
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||

		||||
Mini script to generate transactions with random TX fee-rate (between 1 to 100 sat/vB). It's slow so don't expect to use this to test mempool spam, except if you let it run for a long time, or maybe with multiple regtest nodes connected to each other.

Mini script to generate random network activity (random TX count with random tx fee-rate). It's slow so don't expect to use this to test mempool spam, except if you let it run for a long time, or maybe with multiple regtest nodes connected to each other.

   ```

   #!/bin/bash
 | 
			
		||||
   address=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -regtest -rpcport=8332 getnewaddress)
 | 
			
		||||
   address=$(bitcoin-cli -regtest getnewaddress)
 | 
			
		||||
   bitcoin-cli -regtest generatetoaddress 101 $address
 | 
			
		||||
   for i in {1..1000000}
 | 
			
		||||
   do
 | 
			
		||||
     ./src/bitcoin-cli -regtest -rpcport=8332 -named sendtoaddress address=$address amount=0.01 fee_rate=$(jot -r 1  1 100)
 | 
			
		||||
      for y in $(seq 1 "$(jot -r 1 1 1000)")
 | 
			
		||||
      do
 | 
			
		||||
         bitcoin-cli -regtest -named sendtoaddress address=$address amount=0.01 fee_rate=$(jot -r 1 1 100)
 | 
			
		||||
      done
 | 
			
		||||
      bitcoin-cli -regtest generatetoaddress 1 $address
 | 
			
		||||
      sleep 5
 | 
			
		||||
   done
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Generate block at regular interval (every 10 seconds in this example):
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
 | 
			
		||||
   watch -n 10 "./src/bitcoin-cli -regtest -rpcport=8332 generatetoaddress 1 $address"
 | 
			
		||||
   watch -n 10 "bitcoin-cli -regtest generatetoaddress 1 $address"
 | 
			
		||||
   ```
