Tangem Heart Attack

I’m curious how badly I almost f*cked up this morning.

Last night, I decided I wanted to reset my Tangem wallet to enable the seed phase set-up, instead of their default on-NFC chip settings. So, when I woke up this morning I moved all my alt-coins to Coinbase (no issues) and then moved my Bitcoin to River. On the River app it showed that my Bitcoin had arrived.

So, thinking I was good to go, I proceeded to reset my Tangem wallet (all coins showed $0). When I went to River to send my Bitcoin to Tangem, I saw an unconfirmed status and wasn’t able to send. My heart sank and I literally almost passed out. I was not aware that on a second sub-screen it showing that the transaction was still in a 4 of 6 confirmation stage—so still unconfirmed.

I thought I lost everything :(

I called Tangem customer service and they were amazing. They walked me through everything, told me all the confirmations were completed, had me reload the app and everything ended up being fine.

Was I close to losing everything since I had reset the Tangem wallet while Bitcoin miners were still in the six stages of confirming the transaction?

Also wanted to post this for all newbies out there embarking on their cold storage journeys! There is so much to learn and I’m really grateful for these Reddit subs to help with my orange-pilled education.
