Introduction

Ethereum transactions need to be sent along with some gas to pay for the resources it uses on the network. Gas can only be sent along with a transaction if the ethereum account signing the transaction has some ether (wei). If the QNM manages all etherum accounts, this is not a problem, however storing keys on the blockchain node is not good practice and therefore a keystore was developed. The eth-funder can fulfil this role.

The eth-funder looks at all the accounts it manages and funds accounts with insufficient balances from accounts it can unlock (with the default password) that have higher balances.
