Now, we can use this address to send a small amount of bitcoin to our bitcoind wallet from an external wallet (assuming you have some bitcoin in an exchange, web wallet or othe bitcoind wallet held elsewhere). For this example, we will send 50 millibits (0.050 bitcoin) to the address returned above.

We use +getreceivedbyaddress+ with the address and the number of confirmations set to zero (0):

The sx toolkit offers many useful commands for encoding and decoding addresses, converting to and from different formats and representations. Use them to explore the various formaat such as base58, base58check, hex etc.
