Congratulations! You sent your first transaction to Blockchain!
Transaction pending
When we send a transaction, it goes to the node's mempool, which in this case is the Nifty node.
Then the node broadcasts (propagates) the transaction to the other nodes on the network.
It will wait for a miner to verify that it is a valid transaction and include it in a block.
Only after the transaction is in a block, is it considered a confirmed transaction on the network.
Transaction confirmed
Nifty wallet will show a popup window warning you that the transaction has been confirmed.
You can also see in the wallet
By clicking on the transaction, you can see it in the explorer

Error: Recipient address checksum is invalid
In another lesson you will learn what checksum is, but for now, if you see this error, you must convert the address to lowercase.
