/**
 * Example: How to Send Signed Transactions to Besu RPC Nodes
 * 
 * This script demonstrates the correct way to send transactions to Besu,
 * which requires eth_sendRawTransaction instead of eth_sendTransaction.
 * 
 * Usage:
 *   node example-send-signed-transaction.js <rpc_url> <private_key> <to_address> <amount_eth>
 * 
 * Example:
 *   node example-send-signed-transaction.js http://192.168.11.211:8545 0x<private_key> 0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f0bEb 0.01
