Was trying to send some coins to some friends of mine, but apparently I don’t have enough BTC.

What gives?

For this phase of development (while building out our network) we are piggy backing on the Bitcoin blockchain therefore a safex transaction is a bitcoin transaction which requires the usual bitcoin fee.

Thus you need some bitcoins to complete the transfers.

Okay, so where do I send the bitcoins then? To the same address?

If that’s the case, what happens to the unspent coins? Do I have access to that bitcoin wallet as well?

same address

you can use the safex wallet as both a bitcoin wallet and safex wallet
