Hey,
I noticed on a few spv wallets that on generating a new receive address, I'm prompted to enter the amount I'm receiving.
Thing is I rarely if ever know the amount. Because of the fact that the fees vary from one exchange to another. Besides, there is also the miner's fee which is a bit of a mystery to me, still.
What is the purpose of this 'amount' and what happens if it doesn't match the amount which eventually arrives at the address?
Thanks
This is very useful feature for sellers when creating unique address for each customer with locked price.
If you put in an amount it will create payment request code so customer just scan the QR (or click the link) and confirms sending (he does not need to put in the amount nor the address ... all is already locked in) thus eliminate sending wrong amount.
What happens if you put in wrong amount? The customer will send you that wrong amount ( if he does not double check it ) = serious problem.
Example:
payment request looks like: "bitcoin:ADDRESS?amount=XXX&message=YYYY"
and if you put the above text into url tag the link will open your wallet and pre-fill the address, amount and description (you can try the link bellow to see what happens)
Example link:

EDIT (after post below): OK, I did not understand the question and answered off topic. I have no experience with shapeshift so I'm not going to advise you.
I can only assume it's not necessary to put a value in wallet B .. just skip it if possible.
Better to wait for other users reply
