Very simple basic question

[uselessmoron]

I am running a full node. I have an ethereum address. I am expecting some ETH to be deposited. No idea who the sender is. I can see it's arriving. balance has changed. I want to know the txid. What command do I fire?

bitcoin has simple commands to get confirmations and txid. How do I do that in ethereum. I am not asking for much just want to know the txid using geth or RPC !! Kindly advise.

Did you mean that you accept some ETH from an address but you don't know who gave you?
First, check it in etherscan.io to know the transaction. You can find the transaction there from what address do you accept.
Or maybe you are running a certain campaign or joining other ways? You are talking about running a full node, is it probably from it?

[uselessmoron]

No my friend.
I am running a full node. I shouldn't have to go etherscan.io
Else what's the point running as full node if I have to go to a public website to check for confirmations and txids.
I am running a full node. I know the transaction is somewhere in a file on my harddisk.

I want to know the txid. What command do I fire?

Yes brother you have given correct answer.  Because if someone gives a token in Ethereum Wallet, you have to go to Ethereum Scan to get his address, then his address can be found. Thank you.

The fact is that it is much easier to learn about transactions on the Ethereum network than about Bitcoin transactions. At least etherscans have a cleaner interface, where you can find all the information available. In addition, if you do not suggest where you could get Ethereum, then it could only be a mistake of another user.

You can easily track all eth transactions from you wallet and alternatively you can check all your wallet transactions with all details from platforms like ethplorer and etherscan etc.

No I shouldn't have to visit an external website if I am running a full node. That should be the point of running blockchain. I am sorry but bitcoin-cli has simpler commands. Just run a listreceivedbyaddress and it shows you txids, confirmations, everything!!
Ethereum is intentionally convoluted and unfriendly TO MAKE people depend on websites like etherscan. That is criminal and bad politics to maintain control.
Anyone running a full blockchain should be able to track down details of their address with simple commands.
On ETH one has to go through details of every block to find a needle in a haystack. There is no direct way to find txids associated with your own address. I am sorry but that's the hard fact. Having to depend on an external website to get details about your transaction defeats the purpose of decentralization!

I'm not sure if there's an eth developer/miner/running a full node here to answer your question.

I've been searching on https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/ but I am not sure if what I've seen is what you're looking for. Perhaps it's better if go visit that website yourself.

Sorry if we're not of any help.

You're completely right, you should be able to get this info yourself from console with commands, not from an external source. Totally defeats the purpose of running a full node if you're going to etherscan for blockchain data. That said, I've never run the command myself when running a node.

Regarding geth, here the list of command line options, not sure if you've seen it. I had a quick look but couldn't find any "get transaction info", but here it is:
https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Command-Line-Options
https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/interface/command-line-options

+1, good question. Such a good question that nobody has the answer for you 
This user might know though, is very knowledgeable: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?action=profile;u=77416

Many thanks to the senior brother because there is a nice topic here to solve all the questions. Any questions on what to do here. There are many coins in cryptocurrency, but if you hold any coin, you will be able to make a lot of profit in the future.

Senior brother, if you want to earn more etherium, you have to work hard.  If you do the bounty well then you can earn a lot of etherium thanks.

Bro I don't think there is a dev or someone with this knowledge  to answer your question here because I see majority of replies are the opposite of what you are looking for,  they never bother to read and understand before making a reply,
I will suggest you ask same question on bitcointalk if you have an account there because they have many devs and tech guys in there.

Although I did not understand your post very well after reading what you wanted to know. Yet from what I understand from there I think you might want to know which token is Ethereum when transacting. Whether the address must be one. Madame Medical Address is not one an any time. Each address is different. No country matches with any address.
