Summary0009186: use different terminology than "kill" to fail a transaction, warn user about consequences
DescriptionWhen 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.

We already warn them about it, and I think even the name itself works as a warning, making the action sound like something destructive and undesirable. The lightning icon complements the message pretty well, it will strike your transaction with a lightning bolt!

Christian's suggestion to use "abandon" is IMO very good, please use that instead of "kill".

(Killing is active, "abandon" describes much better that we passively stop doing anything about the transaction.)

Can we at least keep the lightning bolt icon?
