Hello,
From ShapeShift's FAQ page:
https://shapeshift.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001620310-How-to-exchange-coins-on-ShapeShift"...Next you will get a screen with the fields to enter where you would like your funds to be sent to and a field to input your refund address for the coin you deposited - in the event the exchange failed."
MY QUESTION: Shouldn't user FIRST make sure destination wallet / address supports desired altcoin?
Because if it does not, transaction will not go through?
Correct?
.
Yes, you must make sure, that your altcoin is supported by shapeshift and make sure, how much you get for your coins. For my experience there are times, they take horrible high fees/bad exchange rates. Not always but often. So look first on coinmarketcap for actual prices.
