Hiya, thank you for our reply.

I think I did only click [sign] once, and then [broadcast].

I wonder what would happen if I did not [sign] the tx?

Nothing no money would be sent unless a different method to send it was used.
Such as clicking "send" button directly from the send screen, other that that. Nothing would happen without a transaction being signed and broadcast.

Ok, interesting. I had already got the balance with recipient, and it had been spent by me there. Was odd, as the "sign" popup, I only noticed later...

Hello

Thank you for your reply

Do I need to sign it? Will I loose money otherwise? The transfer appears to have completed....
It asks me for my Electrum password when I click [Sign]


When I signed, and then clicked [Broadcast] I got an errror

error: the transaction was rejected by network rules.
Missing inputs
[hidden..]

You've mixed something up here. Has it adhed for your password twice?
Did you already send the transaction and then click preview?
If you want to see a transaction it'll be in the main history/transactions tab. What I suspect you've done is click preview after clicking "send" so the transaction should and will be rejected.

Hello
Transferred some coins, & now have popup with window title "Transaction"

Transaction ID is "Unknown" it does show my inputs and outputs, but there is a [Sign] or [Close] button

What does that mean? Am I required to sign to collect my change?

Thank you


To get a transaction ID you have to sign the transaction. You can still get inputs and outputs without the private key so the private key is needed to sign/authenticate it.

You will then have to broadcast your transaction also, otherwise it'll just not go anywhere and will not be handed to the network.
