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.

Error: Recipient address checksum is invalid

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.

For example,

0x91976be9cAFCd18BE7b29580fa783Db92548b79d

will be converted to:

0x91976be9cafcd18be7b29580fa783db92548b79d
