I log into the local cafes wifi to make my transaction at the atm and always sit there waiting for 2 confirmations and proceed to get funds.
What I want to know is do I need to sit there with my phone connected to wifi during this time or can I log off and come back say in a hour and connect back to get funds?

What I am worried about is coming back a hour later and having to wait for 2nd confirmation because I disconnected from wifi.

This may seem stupid but I just want to make sure that I can sell and come back say at end of work day instead of waiting around for 20 minutes plus.

Have only walked away once and it was my 2nd time and had not clicked miners fee,so it took forever and has made me sit around ever since. Grin

Please confirm if I can sell and walk away,that wifi connect is not needed once blockchain has submitted ticket.

Thanks

Sorry for odd question
Once you have successfully created the transaction and it has been relayed to the network, you no longer need to be online.  If you've properly created it, and paid the appropriate fees, eventually your transaction(s) will be included in a block.

No you don't need a connection. Once the bitcoin is in the system it's as good as sent and you don't need to be connected to the net as it's the network that processes your coins not your phone. You could even have your coins sent to an address offline and never connect until you want to use them but all your coins will still be there.

Just blockchain display your transaction all is ok. You can go do something else and then go back and check the number of confirmed.
