As per the thread title what would the "math" say about immediate power loss after clicking send in Trezor/Suite or in Electrum?
I was wondering if it is possible that such a transaction could get hosed in a way that the funds would get stuck or worse in the wrong place?
By stuck I don't mean a couple of hours to work itself out but a complete stuck scenario? Even if I always use a Laptop the router could lose power at exactly the worst instant in time.
Is this after you confirmed in Trezor device after using "
Review and Send" (
in Trezor Suite) or "
Pay..." (
in Electrum) or not?
Because you're talking about two clients with different button names for "
Send".
If before accepting it in the hardware device itself: it wont, Electrum or Trezor suite will just create an "
unsigned transaction", it's useless without a signature by your Trezor it can't be broadcasted.
Specifically on Electrum, your available UTXO to spend (
shown as "balance") will only be affected by it if you've accidentally clicked "
Add to history" which will save it to your txn history locally, it can easily be removed via "
remove" right-click menu just in case.
If after: In this case it's able to create a signed raw transaction, but it will no be broadcasted to their node since the connection is cut before it even get broadcasted.
Or if it made it through before the power failure since it usually takes less than a second to broadcast, it'll be sent like usual.
You don't have to keep the client open to wait for confirmations.
