Summary	0009186: use different terminology than "kill" to fail a transaction, warn user about consequences
Description	When a transaction is failed, the user might lose money. We should warn them about it! Also, the "kill" terminology is neither accurate (the analogy to killing a process doesn't hold up) nor clear to non-technical users.
Tags	No tags attached.

The lightning icon complements the message pretty well, it will strike your transaction with a lightning bolt! image.png (48,546 bytes) image.png (48,546 bytes)
