Send funds safely

About 12 minutesIrreversible if wrongWallet 1.7.5.8· unpublished

Outcome: You know how a safe send flows, and whether your build can send at all.

Before you start: Funds to send · A verified recipient address

Completion looks like: Either the send completed with a transaction id, or your build showed the unavailable state because its release authorizes no sending.

If something goes wrong: Before approval, a send is fully reversible: close the screen. After broadcast, nothing can pull a transaction back.

All steps

Check that this build can send
You are trying to
Know the send availability for your release.
You should see
Builds whose release authorizes no sending show a plain unavailable panel: 'This build cannot send'.
You do
Open the send screen and read what it actually offers.
Before you continue, check
An unavailable state is the wallet protecting you. It is not a bug and not a network outage.
What can go wrong
Nothing to fear here: an unauthorized build cannot send, cannot be talked into sending, and loses nothing.
Reversible?
Yes.
Not available here: This source tree authorizes no sending operation. The journey stops at the unavailable state for this release; the remaining steps describe the authorized flow for when a release ships it.
Compose the payment
You are trying to
Address, amount, fee.
You should see
The send form with a fee selector.
You do
Paste the address, set the amount, choose a fee.
Before you continue, check
Paste-back the address. Compare fee rate to the wallet's recommendation.
What can go wrong
A fee far above recommendation is a signal to stop and reread every field.
Reversible?
Yes.
Read the review screen like a contract
You are trying to
Approve exactly what you decided.
You should see
The transaction review: recipient, amount, fee, change.
You do
Read every output. The change output must return to your wallet.
Before you continue, check
Every output accounted for: payment + change + fee = total.
What can go wrong
Approving a screen you did not read is how every send scam works. No exception.
Reversible?
No. Read twice.
Approve and track
You are trying to
Broadcast and watch for the transaction id.
You should see
A confirmation, then the transaction id in activity.
You do
Approve. Open activity to watch confirmations.
Before you continue, check
The txid in your activity is the receipt. Confirmations mean settlement.
What can go wrong
After broadcast there is no undo. A stuck transaction is bumped or dropped by its fee, not by support.
Reversible?
No. Read twice.
