Ah, I see, non default configuration. Because the Bitcoin network can and does change in backwards incompatible ways, the app wants to see that the transaction it made actually propagated across the network. If you set a trusted node it won't see that. Probably the logic should be tweaked so if you set a trusted node you're just assumed to know what you're doing and we assume the transactions we make ourselves always work. --047d7ba9778066e8af0516ee7914 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
