<p><b>New page</b></p><div>= Quest: Send Bitcoin =<br />
<br />
Sending Bitcoin is a simple process. You need the recipient's Bitcoin address and can follow these steps:<br />
<br />
== Sending Bitcoin ==<br />
# Select the 'Send' tab.<br />
# Paste the recipient's Bitcoin address into the '''Pay to''' field in your wallet.<br />
<br />
If you have a Bitcoin URI: Paste it into the '''Pay to''' field, and the wallet will automatically fill in the details of the transaction.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Setting Transaction Fees ==<br />
<br />
* When you click the '''Pay...''' button, a window appears where you can adjust the transaction fees.<br />
* The Bitcoin network processes transactions based on fees:<br />
<br />
Transactions with higher fees are prioritized and included in the next block.<br />
Transactions without fees may still be processed if there is space in the block, but this depends on network activity.<br />
<br />
Electrum estimates fees based on how quickly you want your transaction to be confirmed.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' Fees are proportional to the transaction size (data), not the amount of Bitcoin sent.<br />
<br />
== Task ==<br />
<br />
Use this Bitcoin URI and paste it in the '''Pay to''' field in the Send tab of your Electrum wallet:<br />
<br />
bitcoin:bc1qwafaz9jszrw5letxvu72qf6xxhgp89pc39x2fg?amount=1&message=Pay%20The%20Beginners%20Guide%20to%20Crypto<br />
<br />
Assuming you don't have that much Bitcoin in your wallet!!<br />
<br />
Click on the '''Pay...''' button.<br />
<br />
To complete the task you have to type in the message obtained in the Electrum wallet.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Exercise ==<br />
<br />
* If you click the '''Pay...''' button, and supposing you have enough funds, the transaction request is sent. <br />
* Once sent:<br />
* The request is broadcast to the Bitcoin network and stored in the memory pool (mempool) of unprocessed transactions.<br />
* When the transaction is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation message.<br />
* You can track the status of your transaction on the blockchain (this will be explored in a future quest).<br />
* After hitting the '''Pay...''' button:<br />
* The Bitcoin sent will no longer display in your wallet to avoid confusion. <br />
* However, you still have control over the Bitcoin until the transaction is processed.<br />
<br />
== Handling Stuck Transactions ==<br />
<br />
* If the transaction is not processed due to low fees:<br />
* It may remain in the mempool for an extended period.<br />
* Your Bitcoin is not lost; it remains under your control until the transaction is processed.<br />
* You can resend the transaction with higher fees to expedite processing.<br />
* If the new transaction is processed first, the original transaction will fail when considered by the network.</div>BeginnersGuide>Marin
